Week 1 Eagles-Cowboys: A star-studded season premiere
As defending champs, the Eagles earned the right to kick off the NFL season with one of the league’s biggest rivalries. The Eagles' retooled secondary will get an early look at the Cowboys’ new receiving duo of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, but the main nucleus in Dallas has remained largely the same this offseason.

Week 2 Eagles-Chiefs: A Super rematch
Who doesn’t love a Super Bowl rematch? The Eagles and Chiefs haven’t been able to escape each other’s orbits over the years, and will face off in Week 2 for their fifth meeting in as many seasons.

Week 3 Eagles-Rams: Jared Verse returns to the Linc
Week 3 Eagles-Rams: Jared Verse returns to the Linc
Few players antagonized Eagles fans quite as much as Rams edge rusher Jared Verse did before and during last year’s divisional round playoff game. And while the Eagles ended Los Angeles’ season, Verse played well enough to suggest he’ll continue to relish being the villain upon his return to the Linc.

Week 11 Eagles-Lions: The NFC title game that never was
The Eagles missed out on the No. 1 seed in the NFC because of Detroit’s stellar regular season, but never faced the Lions in the playoffs thanks to the Commanders playing spoiler. Playoff faux pas aside, this Week 11 matchup at the Linc should feature two of the NFC’s best teams.

Week 18 Eagles vs. Commanders: Commanding respect
Week 18 Eagles vs. Commanders: Commanding respect
The Commanders’ ascendant 2024 season created a budding rivalry with the Eagles, but the latest meeting was an NFC championship drubbing at the hands of Saquon Barkley and Co. A chance at revenge will certainly be front of mind when Jayden Daniels leads a further-reinforced Washington team back to the Linc.
