Eagles 2026 Regular Season Schedule: Game-By-Game Predictions
The NFL’s regular season schedule release is finally here and now we know the entire slate for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026. Following an early playoff exit last season, Philadelphia is likely eager to turn the page. According to Warren Sharp of SharpFootballAnalysis.com, the Eagles have the seventh-easiest regular season schedule based on each team’s projected win total.
Philadelphia will also travel the ninth-most miles (22,115) among all 32 teams during the regular season, according to Billy Speros of Bookies.com. While that information isn’t necessarily breaking news, we now know when the Eagles will face their toughest opponents and travel on the road. Here’s a look at Philadelphia’s regular season schedule and my game-by-game predictions for 2026:
Week 1: vs. Washington Commanders
Sunday, September 13th at 4:25 PM
The Eagles will open the regular season at home for just the second time during Nick Sirianni’s tenure as head coach. Similar to last season, Philadelphia will host a division rival in Week 1, as the Commanders should be led by a healthy Jayden Daniels. While Washington will want to prove that last season’s letdown was a fluke, Philadelphia’s revamped offense and the home crowd will be too much to overcome at Lincoln Financial Field.
Score Prediction: Eagles 24, Commanders 17
Week 2: @ Tennessee Titans
Sunday, September 20th at 1:00 PM
Jalen Hurts and the Eagles will look for revenge against new Titans head coach Robert Saleh, who limited Philadelphia’s offense in the playoffs last season as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator. While the Titans could surprise many next season, it’ll likely be a bit too early for Tennessee to get rolling against Philadelphia. The Eagles should be healthy and have too much talent on both sides of the ball to lose this game, although it could be closer than many expect.
Score Prediction: Eagles 28, Titans 21
Week 3: @ Chicago Bears
Monday, September 28th at 8:15 PM
The Eagles were absolutely embarrassed by the Bears last season. Chicago’s rushing attack proved to be unstoppable as Philadelphia simply couldn’t slow them down. Now the Eagles will be tasked with traveling on the road to try and get their revenge against one of the NFL’s biggest surprises of 2025. Yet I believe that Philadelphia will ultimately fall short in a tough environment.
Score Prediction: Bears 27, Eagles 23
Week 4: vs. Los Angeles Rams
Sunday, October 4th at 1:00 PM
Philadelphia will have to turn things around quickly as they’ll host the Rams on a short week after playing on Monday night in Week 3. The Eagles are undefeated against the Rams in the Sirianni era, yet I think this could be where the streak ends. Los Angeles should be healthy and is regarded as one of the top teams in the NFL. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the Eagles get caught lacking after a likely tough battle against the Bears.
Score Prediction: Rams 33, Eagles 28
Week 5: @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Sunday, October 11th at 9:30 AM
The Eagles will fly across the pond to “visit” the Jaguars in London. Philadelphia will look to replicate their overseas success against Jacksonville, after defeating the Jaguars in London back in 2018. Yet this time around, the two teams will be playing in a new venue at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite Jacksonville’s surprising success last season, I believe that they’ll fall back down to earth and that this should be a win for the Eagles.
Score Prediction: Eagles 30, Jaguars 17
Week 6: vs. Carolina Panthers
Sunday, October 18th at 1:00 PM
Despite traveling overseas the previous week, the Eagles will not have a bye week in Week 6. Philadelphia will instead host the Panthers following their trip to London. In 2024, Philadelphia’s matchup with Carolina was a lot closer than many anticipated. I don’t expect that to be the case this time around as the Eagles should be able to overwhelm the Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field.
Score Prediction: Eagles 34, Panthers 20
Week 7: vs. Dallas Cowboys
Monday, October 26th at 8:15 PM
Philadelphia will host the Cowboys to kickoff a three week slate of NFC East matchups. While the Eagles have struggled on the road in Dallas, they’ve been able to hold their own against their division rivals at home. This will be the first opportunity for Christian Parker to show his former team what his defense is made of. But I expect the Eagles to escape with a much-needed victory.
Score Prediction: Eagles 26, Cowboys 20
Week 8: @ Washington Commanders
Sunday, November 1st at 8:20 PM
Commanders rising star quarterback Jayden Daniels was unable to play against the Eagles in either of their matchups last season. Now Washington will be hoping to have QB1 back against Philadelphia in a primetime matchup to start November. The Eagles have split the regular season series with the Commanders in each of the last two seasons and I expect that trend to continue in 2026.
Score Prediction: Commanders 23, Eagles 20
Week 9: vs. New York Giants
Sunday, November 8th at 1:00 PM
The Eagles will host the Giants in their first matchup against New York with veteran head coach John Harbaugh now running the show. While Philadelphia was embarrassed by New York in their first meeting last season, I don’t see the Eagles letting that happen again. Despite the Giants revamping their coaching staff and their roster, Philadelphia will do just enough to get another divisional win.
Score Prediction: Eagles 28, Giants 24
Week 10: Bye
Some may dislike a later bye week, since an early bye week treated the Eagles well in 2024. Philadelphia benefited greatly from a bye week in Week 5 that season, as it helped the team recalibrate after a rather sluggish start. Meanwhile last season, Philadelphia got off to a 6-2 start to the regular season and then went 5-5 during the second half following a bye week in Week 9. We’ll see if they experience a similar fall-off this time around.
Week 11: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Sunday, November 22nd at 4:25 PM
The Eagles will be well rested after the bye week as they’ll host the Battle of Pennsylvania against the Steelers in Week 11. Following the departure of Mike Tomlin, it’s the start of a new era in Pittsburgh, although expectations remain relatively low for the Steelers. It’ll be interesting to see who will be starting at quarterback for the Steelers at this point in the regular season but the Eagles should win rather easily regardless of Pittsburgh’s quarterback situation.
Score Prediction: Eagles 27, Steelers 16
Week 12: @ Dallas Cowboys
Thursday, November 26th at 4:30 PM
I absolutely hate that the Eagles are playing the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. This is usually the chance to spend time with family and enjoy an stress-free day while watching other NFL teams battle it out. Now I’ll be forced to barely touch my plate of food while stressing about a key divisional matchup. The Eagles haven’t had a ton of success in Dallas, especially if Dak Prescott is healthy and I’ll pencil this in as a loss for Philadelphia.
Score Prediction: Cowboys 33, Eagles 27
Week 14: @ Arizona Cardinals
Sunday, December 6th at 4:05 PM
After a 3-14 finish last season, Arizona hired new head coach Mike LaFleur to turn things around. Yet the Cardinals are still expected to start Jacoby Brissett at quarterback in what will likely be another rough year in the desert. While the arrival of rookie running back Jeremiyah Love could win the Cardinals a few more games than many expect, this won’t be one of them. The Eagles should be able to travel across the country and win this matchup on the road.
Score Prediction: Eagles 27, Cardinals 17
Week 14: vs. Indianapolis Colts
Sunday, December 13th at 1:00 PM
The Colts got off to a scorching hot start last season with Daniel Jones leading the way. Yet Indianapolis fell off a cliff once Jones tore his achilles. While Jones should be healthy by this point in the regular season, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll be the same player. There’s no reason to overthink this matchup as I believe that the Eagles are simply the more talented team. Sirianni likely still hates the Colts for the way that things ended with Frank Reich and he’ll have his team fired up for this matchup against his former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen.
Score Prediction: Eagles 34, Colts 23
Week 15: vs. Seattle Seahawks
Saturday, December 19th at 5:00 PM
While the Seahawks shocked the world last season, no team will be taking them lightly in 2026. Unfortunately for Philadelphia, Seattle presents a tough matchup with their versatile, swarming defense. The Seahawks are an incredibly talented team with a unique defensive scheme that could fluster Hurts and company. My guess is that this will be the second loss at home for the Eagles this season.
Score Prediction: Seahawks 24, Eagles 19
Week 16: vs. Houston Texans
Thursday, December 24th at 8:15 PM
Another game on a holiday? Gross. Following a Saturday matchup against Seattle, the Eagles will have a quick turnaround as they’ll host the Texans on Christmas Eve. Similar to the Seahawks, Houston’s defense is regarded as one of the best units in the NFL. Yet I’m not sure that the Texans possess enough offensive firepower to outlast the Eagles on the road. Philadelphia will escape with a close victory in a defensive battle.
Score Prediction: Eagles 20, Texans 16
Week 17: @ San Francisco 49ers
Sunday, January 3rd at 8:20 PM
The Eagles will get some much-needed rest ahead of what could be a pivotal NFC matchup against the 49ers. After San Francisco embarrassed Philadelphia at home in the playoffs, the Eagles will likely be looking for revenge on Sunday night. Lincoln Financial Field will be rocking as San Francisco will travel across the country into a hostile environment. The Eagles will secure a crucial victory for playoff seeding that will allow them to take it easy in the regular season finale.
Score Prediction: Eagles 24, 49ers 17
Week 18: @ New York Giants
TBD
There’s a chance that the regular season finale could be meaningless for the Eagles. We saw how Philadelphia handled last season’s regular season finale, which resulted in a loss. I expect a similar situation this time around as the Eagles will enter Week 18 with a record of 11-5. With likely little to gain in the playoff race, Philadelphia will opt to rest their starters and lose this matchup against the Giants.
Score Prediction: Giants 24, Eagles 17
