The Philadelphia Eagles will face one of the NFL's toughest schedules in 2026, with playoff contenders, division rivals, and several historic franchises standing in their path. Philadelphia's schedule includes familiar NFC East battles, difficult cross-conference road trips, and heavyweight clashes against teams expected to contend for playoff spots. The Eagles also bring decades of history into many of these matchups, with several rivalries dating back generations.
Here's a look at Philadelphia's record against each opponent on the 2026 schedule, postseason included.
The NFC East remains one of football's oldest and nastiest divisions, and every rivalry game still carries postseason implications and emotional baggage.
The Eagles have historically struggled against several NFC West opponents, especially Seattle and San Francisco, two franchises that have consistently blocked Philadelphia's postseason path across different eras.
Philadelphia has completely dominated Houston historically and has generally played well against Jacksonville, but road games against the Colts and Titans have often been difficult.
Chicago and Pittsburgh represent two of Philadelphia's toughest historical matchups, while Carolina has quietly developed into a sneaky rivalry after several memorable games over the past two decades.
The 2026 schedule is loaded with difficult opponents, and history suggests several matchups could become major challenges for Philadelphia. The Eagles hold winning records against only a handful of teams on this slate, reinforcing just how demanding the road ahead could be.
Still, recent history matters more than decades-old records, and Philadelphia enters 2026 with one of the NFL's deepest rosters and championship expectations once again.
