The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2026 schedule is right here. Now it’s the right time to foretell the result of each single recreation.
Some may say this can be a ineffective exercise. To that I preemptively reply: loosen up, Francis. We’re simply making an attempt to have some enjoyable.
Additionally, this projection is sure to be 100% correct, so it’s truly fairly helpful.
This time final yr, I had the 2025 Eagles ending with a 12-5 common season document. Had they not rested starters in Week 18, they may’ve been capable of get there as an alternative of going 11-6. In any case, 2025 marked the third yr in a row the place my preliminary document prediction for the Eagles was solely off by one recreation.
Let’s check out how issues will certainly shake out!
Week 1 – vs. Washington Commanders
Josh Harris ought to promote the Sixers to somebody who truly cares about them. He ought to completely proceed to be the Commanders’ proprietor, although. Washington ought to be higher than they had been final yr, which isn’t saying a lot. However their roster nonetheless lacks expertise, particularly on protection. This could possibly be a great place for a new-look Eagles offense underneath Sean Mannion to get rolling.
Week 2 – at Tennessee Titans
Entice recreation in Week 2? Might be for the reason that Eagles could be coming off an enormous division win forward of a primetime recreation in opposition to one other NFC contender in Week 3. Cam Ward may make a leap from 12 months 1 to 12 months 2. All this being mentioned, the Titans have accomplished nothing to earn the good thing about the doubt.
Week 3 – at Chicago Bears
Chicago in late September ought to be lovely for visiting Eagles followers to expertise. Sadly, the Birds are going to lose this recreation with Ben Johnson inflicting extra issues for Philly’s protection like they did on Black Friday final yr.
Week 4 – vs. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are going to need this recreation so dangerous after practically lastly having had the Eagles beat final season previous to a game-winning blocked area objective by Jordan Davis. LA has a declare as the highest group within the NFC and they are going to be robust to beat.
Week 5 – at Jacksonville Jaguars (London)
Needs to be numerous Eagles followers who cross the pond to attend this recreation. The Jags overachieved final yr however this offseason hasn’t precisely been aces for them. They’re going to take a step again and the Eagles will break their two-game dropping streak with a win in England.
Week 6 – vs. Carolina Panthers
No bye week for the Eagles coming off their journey to the UK. Regardless of the prolonged journey, they are going to return house to beat Philly native Bryce Younger. Andy Dalton goes to take a snap on this recreation, be it filling in for an injured Jalen Hurts or rubbish time motion. My crystal ball tells me so.
Week 7 – vs. Dallas Cowboys
A tough fought NFC East battle in opposition to the Cowboys goes in Philly’s favor. Vic Fangio’s protection stifles the Dallas offense as Christian Parker’s unit struggles to decelerate Sean Mannion.
Week 8 – vs. New York Giants
It’s a brand new period for the Giants underneath John Harbaugh. However are we certain it undoubtedly gained’t be extra of the identical? Wish to see some proof of idea first. Jaxson Dart additionally must show he can keep wholesome. The Birds are rolling for his or her fourth straight win.
Week 9 – at Washington Commanders
This has the sensation of an annoying loss that the Eagles let slip by way of their fingers. We’ll say Jayden Daniels makes some large performs to present the Eagles their third lack of the season. Josh Harris shall be cheering as his aimless Sixers are starting one other wasted season.
9 video games earlier than the bye, eight video games after the bye. Closest to the midway level that you just’ll get.
Week 11 – vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
That is the place I remind you that the Steelers haven’t gained in Philadelphia since 1965. No motive to consider these Yinzers led by outdated ass Aaron Rodgers (?) and Mike McCarthy are altering that streak. In the identical yr that the Flyers beat the Penguins within the first spherical, the Eagles will preserve Pennsylvania supremacy with a win within the battle of the Keystone State.
Week 12 – at Dallas Cowboys
The Eagles have by no means misplaced to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving (2-0). However the Eagles are merely 1-7 of their final eight video games down in Dallas … and that sole win came to visit Cooper Rush. Until Dak Prescott will get damage once more, this can be a loss. It’s simply not straightforward for the Eagles to win in Dallas and it’s simply not straightforward for the Eagles to brush the Cowboys.
Week 13 – vs. Indianapolis Colts
I think about Nick Sirianni actually desires to beat Shane Steichen. Daniel Jones isn’t scaring anyone and Jonathan Taylor gained’t have the identical form of yr once more in 2026.
Week 14 – at Arizona Cardinals
The Playing cards are contenders to have the No. 1 total choose within the 2027 NFL Draft. Straightforward win.
Week 15 – vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Eagles know all too nicely how laborious it’s to repeat as Tremendous Bowl champs. However that Seattle group was dominant final yr and so they nonetheless have numerous good items. Plus, the final time the Eagles beat the Seahawks was again in 2008. The gamers and coaches change however that group simply has Philly’s quantity.
Week 16 – vs. Houston Texans
Predicting Eagles losses on each Thanskgiving and Christmas Eve could be fairly bleak. I actually like DeMeco Ryans. I’m much less bought on C.J. Stroud and Houston’s roster. This shall be a tricky battle the place the Eagles come out on high in additional time.
Week 17 – at San Francisco 49ers
The Whiners shall be pushing for a playoff spot in a loaded NFC West. This shall be a results of the reproduction (Sean Mannion) being lesser than the actual factor (Kyle Shanahan) in an identical vein to how Vic Fangio’s assistant don’t measure as much as the veteran defensive coordinator himself.
Week 18 – at New York Giants
I do know the Giants beat the Eagles as soon as final yr however I simply refuse to present them that advantage of the doubt.
The Eagles’ 2026 schedule is the seventh-easiest within the NFL primarily based on projected win totals. Despite the fact that there have been some tough patches, they’ve constantly gained double digit video games and made the playoffs in every season since Nick Sirianni was employed in 2021.
In fact, there’s a powerful case to be made Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie are the most important drivers of the Eagles’ success. And there have been instances, akin to final season, when the assembled expertise has underperformed.
Sirianni must be higher in 2026. As does Jalen Hurts, who is alleged to be taking nicely to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. It’s doable this offense will get buzzing, particularly if the offensive line is more healthy. There are nonetheless some questions in that regard, simply as there are associated to the influence of Jeff Stoutland leaving.
What shouldn’t be questioned is the Eagles’ defensive outlook. Vic Fangio has numerous expertise to work with, so, that unit ought to be anticipated to be sturdy as soon as once more.
All advised, the sensation right here is that the offense may have some ups and downs whereas the protection as a rule this group’s rock. There’s potential for issues to spin off the rails; typically catastrophe is way nearer than it seems (I don’t recall individuals anticipating the 2020 Eagles to look as dangerous as they did forward of what grew to become a franchise-altering season). However given the franchise’s penchant for high-level success lately, one should consider they may win large as soon as once more.
I’m going to say 11-6 is nice sufficient for a Wild Card spot, not adequate to threepeat as NFC East champions with Dallas seizing the division lead. The Cowboys have a positive 2026 outlook since they nonetheless have one of many NFL’s high offenses and so they in all probability simply want their protection to not be the overall catastrophe it was final yr.
For the second yr in a row, the Eagles make the postseason however fail to win a playoff recreation.
