These are the games Eagles fans already have circled in 2026

In Philly, it's the second-most wonderful time of the year: the annual release of the Eagles' 2026 schedule.

Why it matters: Philly fans needed a brief escape from the city's recent sports doldrums.

Here are the matchups Philly fans are most amped about:

Week 1: Eagles vs. Commanders

Nothing like starting off the season against a NFC East foe you split with last season.

• Philly fans will be looking for a clean sweep this time.

Week 3: Eagles at Chicago

You could have called them the "Bares" last time around. Chicago head coach Ben Johnson ripped off his shirt in the locker room like his team had just won the Super Bowl.

• The Eagles will look to collar those overzealous cubbies, still high off their recent playoff success.

Week 5: Eagles at Jaguars in London

The Bird are 2-0 in games held overseas and will look to turn the Big Pond into a big dunk tank for the upstart Jaguars.

• Hopefully, ain't no "Sunshine" for that long-haired "Remember the Titans" lookalike, Trevor Lawrence.

Week 7: Eagles vs. Dallas

The Eagles squandered a 21-point lead in one of their two matchups with Dem Boys last season.

• They make the return trip to Dallas in Week 12 on Thanksgiving. Eagles fans are hoping turkeys are the only birds on the menu that day, while Dak Prescott and Co. will look to feast, Ezekiel Elliott-style, on their hated rival.

Week 15: Eagles vs. Seahawks

• Call it the Bird Bowl: Former Super Bowl champs vs. defending champs.
