The Philadelphia Eagles once again enter a season carrying championship expectations and will look to win the NFC East for a third straight season. Philadelphia faces a difficult 2026 schedule loaded with playoff contenders, primetime matchups, and the opportunity to return to the Super Bowl stage.
Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion will lead a revamped offense that'll look to spread the football around to a deep and versatile receiving corps. On defense, Vic Fangio's unit has star power at every position, and a new weapon in Riq Woolen that the Eagles' defensive playcaller raved about on Thursday.
Here is a full game-by-game prediction for Philadelphia's season.
Week 1: Commanders at Eagles — WIN (1-0)Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels has quickly become one of the NFL's most dangerous young playmakers, and opening against a division rival immediately raises the stakes. Philadelphia starts fast at Lincoln Financial Field behind Jalen Hurts and an experienced roster. The Commanders make things uncomfortable late, but the Eagles protect home field and open the season with an important NFC East victory.
Week 2: Eagles at Titans — WIN (2-0)Tennessee enters a transition year with Cam Ward expected to lead the offense after major organizational changes and the addition of Carnell Tate. The Titans are improving, but Philadelphia's pass rush and offensive balance create matchup problems. Jalen Hurts outduels the second signal-caller while the Eagles control time of possession and leave Nashville undefeated.
Week 3: Eagles at Bears — LOSS (2-1)Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams and the Bears embarrassed Philadelphia physically during the Black Friday loss in 2025. Soldier Field on Monday Night Football creates another difficult environment. The Eagles keep things close, but Chicago's offensive skill players create enough explosive plays to hand Philadelphia its first loss.
Week 4: Rams at Eagles — WIN (3-1)Matthew Stafford remains one of football's elite quarterbacks, and Sean McVay consistently creates challenges for opposing defenses. Philadelphia counters with home-field advantage and superior depth. The Eagles pressure Stafford into key mistakes and improve to 3-1.
Week 5: Eagles vs. Jaguars (London) — WIN (4-1)Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville always carry upset potential, especially internationally. London games often become unpredictable because of travel demands and routine changes. Philadelphia handles the overseas challenge behind Jalen Hurts and a dominant rushing performance.
Week 6: Panthers at Eagles — WIN (5-1)Bryce Young continues improving, but Philadelphia enters with clear advantages across the roster. The Eagles' offensive line controls the game while Hurts avoids mistakes. Carolina competes early before Philadelphia gradually takes over.
Week 7: Cowboys at Eagles — WIN (6-1)Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott always elevates the rivalry atmosphere. Monday Night Football inside Lincoln Financial Field creates one of the year's biggest environments. Philadelphia forces Dallas into difficult third downs and secures an important NFC East win.
Week 8: Eagles at Commanders — LOSS (6-2)Jayden Daniels gets revenge. Sunday Night Football road games inside the division rarely come easy, and Washington continues establishing itself as Philadelphia's biggest NFC East challenger. The Commanders steal one late.
Week 9: Giants at Eagles — WIN (7-2)New York quarterback Jaxson Dart enters the season facing enormous expectations, but Philadelphia's defensive front creates constant disruption. The Eagles overwhelm the Giants physically and continue stacking wins before the bye.
Week 10: Bye Week
Week 11: Steelers at Eagles — WIN (8-2)Aaron Rodgers dramatically changes Pittsburgh's ceiling. The future Hall of Fame quarterback gives Philadelphia problems with quick decisions and veteran poise. Ultimately, Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia's offensive balance prove too much at Lincoln Financial Field.
Week 12: Eagles at Cowboys — LOSS (8-3)Thanksgiving games rarely follow expectations. Dak Prescott and Dallas respond at home in one of the NFL's premier rivalry matchups. Philadelphia battles throughout, but a short week and road conditions create problems.
Week 13: Eagles at Cardinals — WIN (9-3)Arizona begins a new era, with Carson Beck expected to lead the offense following Kyler Murray's departure. The Cardinals are improved but still developing consistency. Philadelphia's defensive front controls the game while Hurts delivers another efficient outing.
Week 14: Colts at Eagles — WIN (10-3)Daniel Jones possesses elite athletic tools and has stressed the Eagles' defense over the years, but Philadelphia's overall roster depth creates separation. The Eagles control the line of scrimmage and continue to strengthen their playoff positioning.
Week 15: Seahawks at Eagles — WIN (11-3)Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold leads the defending Super Bowl champions into Lincoln Financial Field for one of the year's biggest games. Philadelphia rises to the moment on a Saturday night. The Eagles' defense delivers one of its strongest performances of the season.
Week 16: Texans at Eagles — LOSS (11-4)C.J. Stroud continues proving why Houston belongs among the AFC elite. Thursday night football often produces unpredictable results, and Houston's balanced offense challenges Philadelphia throughout. The Texans narrowly steal a late-season heavyweight battle.
Week 17: Eagles at 49ers — Win (12-4)Brock Purdy and San Francisco remain one of the NFC's measuring-stick teams, and the Eagles will head west angry after a loss to the Texans. Throw in the playoff loss, and traveling west for Sunday Night Football in January creates one of Philadelphia's most complete performances with Makai Lemon shining on the West Coast. The Eagles punch out the Niners in a playoff preview.
Week 18: Eagles at Giants — WIN (13-4)Jaxson Dart and New York continue building toward the future, but Philadelphia closes the regular season with authority. The Eagles secure another double-digit win season entering the postseason.
Final record prediction: 13-4
Philadelphia remains one of football's elite teams entering 2026. Jalen Hurts continues to operate behind one of the NFL's strongest infrastructures and places himself in the MVP race during Sean Mannion's first season as offensive coordinator. Philadelphia's balance, both offensively and defensively, positions the Eagles for another deep postseason run and a legitimate Super Bowl pursuit.
