Eagles Schedule: Keeping Track of Every Leak And Announcement

The official NFL Schedule release is Wednesday night. But as we all know, the games come out in drips and drabs long before the schedule actually comes out. Whether through actual leaks or "leaks" put out by the NFL themselves, we get an idea of what the Eagles' schedule will look like long before we get the full schedule.

So, what Eagles games do we know about so far? We will keep track of all the "leaks" as they come out right here.

We knew the date and time for this game the second the Eagles lifted the Lombardi trophy. The Super Bowl winner always kicks off the season on Thursday night. We just didn't know who. Turns out, it is a heated rivalry game to open up the season. The hated Dallas Cowboys will travel up to Philly and watch the Eagles hang their banner.

The Super Bowl rematch comes early. After hosting the Cowboys in week 1, they head out to Kansas City to play in the Fox Game of the Week.

The Eagles will be coming off a Thursday Night Game, the Chiefs off a Friday Night game. So it is a slight rest advantage, but not as big of one as you would usually get off a Thursday Night game.

Another Division game confirmed. And another Thursday Night game. Week 6, Eagles head up to the Meadowlands.

With 2 Thursday night Games, this also means no Christmas game for the Birds. Teams can only play 2 TNF games, or 3 if you are flexed. Since no one is getting flexed into Christmas, Eagles fans should be able to make their Christmas plans without worrying about fitting the Eagles game in.

We know the Eagles are going to play a lot of prime-time Games, even not counting the season opener. One for sure will be taking on the Packers, in Green Bay, on Monday Night Football.

It is not Green Bay in the dead of Winter. November is usually somewhat chilly, but not the frigid tundra Lambeau Field is known for being. Still, Green Bay tends to have a great home-field advantage. They are 31-11 at home over the last 5 seasons.

The Eagles beat the Packers twice last season. Once in Brazil, and then again in the playoffs at home. It marked 3 straight wins for the Eagles over the Packers dating back to 2022. Before that, the Eagles lost at Lambeau in 2020, but beat the Packers out there in 2019.

The Eagles will not play on Thanksgiving this year, but they will play on Black Friday. It is the 3rd straight year the NFL held a game on Black Friday, as they continue to claim more and more Holidays as their own. They stole Black Friday from the NHL, and Christmas from the NBA. They are officially the school bully who steals everyone's lunch money, but no one can stop them because they are bigger than everyone else in the school.

Eagles-Bears was teased as a potential for Opening Night. Instead, they get them on a midday Black Friday game. Bears are a team that is hard to predict. Last season was clearly a big disappointment. But with Ben Johnson as the coach, and some new toys on offense, it is easy to see year 2 going much better for Caleb Williams.

There is no official kickoff time for this game yet, but we know they are game 1 of a Saturday Double-Header, leading into Packers-Bears, also on Fox. A safe guess would be a 4 pm start, giving time for a short post-game show/ pre-game show, before Packers-Bears kicks off at 8:20ish.

Eagles-Commanders will be one of the most important games of the season, as the two tussle for control of the NFC East.

An interesting wrinkle is this game is the week before Christmas, which is on a Thursday this year. Some believe the Eagles are on Saturday, so they could also play on Christmas. But the one Christmas game announced so far features none of the teams playing on this Saturday. Chiefs-Broncos will be the Christmas night game. So I am not sure how much you can read into the Eagles playing on that Saturday.

No more digging for leaks. The Eagles' full schedule is out.
