After decades of ringless futility, the Philadelphia Eagles have become a gold-standard NFL franchise in the Howie Roseman era. They enter the 2026 campaign with eight playoff berths across the last nine years, and a pair of Super Bowl rings to show for it.

Once again, the current Eagles look like one of the conference’s best teams. The offense can set tone and tempo through its ground game — Jalen Hurts under center, Saquon Barkley in the backfield, Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata as anchors up front. When things open up, Hurts has high-upside targets DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and first-round rookie Makai Lemon at his disposal.

Philadelphia boasted the league’s fifth-ranked scoring defense last season. Mad scientist defensive coordinator Vic Fangio still has so much talent to work with this time around. Potential All-Pros abound, including DT Jalen Carter, LB Zack Baun and Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell in the secondary.

Head coach Nick Sirianni leads a Super Bowl short-lister, with national TV spots throughout the schedule. The Eagles are slated for three primetime night games in the first eight weeks, plus a trip to London in Week 5. They’re also tapped for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve broadcasts. We’ve compiled this streaming explainer to sort it all out, including options for locals and those far from Philly.

Cable/satellite/streaming base

The most expansive option for live game coverage is a multichannel plan. That includes streamers like Fubo, Sling TV and YouTube TV, or more traditional providers like DirecTV, Dish and Xfinity. We lay out cord-cutting alternatives for each NFL media partner down below, but there’s a certain peace of mind to the consolidation of pay television.

Could Philadelphia Eagles be NFL’s top defense in 2026?

Derrik Klassen

CBS

Main window: Sunday afternoon (in-market fans)

Playoffs: 1 wild-card game, 1 divisional game, AFC Championship Game

Each week, CBS carries games across two Sunday kickoff slots: one at 1 p.m., and another at 4:05 p.m. or the national window at 4:25 p.m. There will be 10 nationwide Sunday doubleheaders this year on CBS. Broadcasts are set by region when there are multiple offerings in a spot.

It’s not a clean split, but CBS is known as the primary home of the AFC. The network’s theme music is a certified slapper.

Its main pregame show, “The NFL Today,” adds recent retirees Russell Wilson and Kyle Long to its studio crew. CBS announcers include Jim Nantz and Ian Eagle, while the color commentary rotation stars JJ Watt.

What you’ll need to watch: A pay TV package, or an indoor TV antenna for free over-the-air viewing. Local CBS games also stream on Paramount+.

Fox

Main window: Sunday afternoon (in-market fans)

Playoffs: 1 wild-card game, 1 divisional game, NFC Championship Game

Like CBS, Fox splits Sunday afternoons between early 1 p.m. action and later 4:05/4:25 p.m. matchups. Its centerpiece is branded as “America’s Game of the Week.” Unlike CBS, Fox has a dancing robot named Cleatus. It’s the nominal network for the NFC, and it’s where you can find the Eagles’ Thanksgiving Day rivalry clash against the Dallas Cowboys.

Kevin Burkhardt, Joe Davis and Adam Amin are the lead play-by-play voices. Burkhardt pairs with Tom Brady, while Davis calls games alongside Greg Olsen. Amin is partnered with newcomer Drew Brees, who is fresh off his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction. Some Spanish-language broadcasts are available on Fox Deportes.

What you’ll need to watch: A pay TV package, or an antenna for free over-the-air viewing. Local Fox games also stream on Fox One.

NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL RedZone

Main window: Sunday afternoon (out-of-market fans)

These two are the access points for all non-national matchups that aren’t on regional CBS or Fox.

NFL Sunday Ticket has full games. It’s exclusive to YouTube and YouTube TV. Those without a YouTube TV plan can still get NFL Sunday Ticket as a primetime channel through the standard YouTube app.

RedZone is the whip-around program that jumps around the slate to cover scoring drives. This is the place for Scott Hanson, “the witching hour” and chaotic octobox split screens. It can be added to NFL Sunday Ticket, and it’s included on some high-end pay TV sports plans.

RedZone also lives on NFL+ Premium, which can be bundled with the ESPN Unlimited plan.

What you’ll need to watch: An NFL Sunday Ticket subscription through YouTube TV or the YouTube app; NFL RedZone access through select pay TV packages, ESPN Unlimited or NFL+ Premium.

NBC and Peacock

Main window: Sunday night

Playoffs: 2 wild-card games, 1 divisional game

This is the faithful home of “Sunday Night Football” each weekend. And because everything has to be confusing, the NBC lineup opens with a Wednesday night season premiere. At least SNF has a consistent 8:20 p.m. start time.

Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth are in the booth, with Melissa Stark reporting from the sidelines. Carrie Underwood sings about waiting all day for Sunday night. NBC’s “Football Night in America” pregame show brings on longtime head coach Mike Tomlin. Telemundo has the telecasts in Spanish.

The network has two extra Saturday offerings for Week 17. One is exclusive to Peacock, and both matchups will be announced later in the season. The same goes for NBC’s Week 18 regular-season finale.

“Sunday Night Football” is subject to flex scheduling — games can be swapped in and out of the window twice between Weeks 5-10 and any time from Weeks 11-17. This allows executives to pick games with greater playoff implications, though it leaves the actual ticket holders in a bind.

What you’ll need to watch: A pay TV package, or an antenna for free over-the-air viewing, or a Peacock account with the live sports plan.

ABC and ESPN

Main window: Monday night

Playoffs: 1 wild-card game, 1 divisional game, Super Bowl LXI

The Disney networks combine to cover 17 “Monday Night Football” games. Ten of those are on both ABC and ESPN, with another seven exclusive to the latter. The oft-maligned “Monday Night Football” doubleheader is now a thing of the past.

MNF kickoffs have 8:15 p.m. starts, and their schedule flexes can happen any time in Weeks 12-17. The two Saturday ABC/ESPN matchups in Week 18 will be set as the postseason picture sharpens.

ESPN is preparing for its first Super Bowl broadcast ever on Feb. 14, 2027. It will be simulcast on ABC.

Joe Buck handles play-by-play for MNF. He’s joined by analyst (and former Eagles antagonist) Troy Aikman, plus the sideline duo of Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge. Spanish-language airings can be found on ESPN Deportes. For 12 regular-season games and the Super Bowl, ESPN2 offers an alternate “ManningCast,” in which Eli and Peyton Manning watch the games with famous fans. Guests have ranged from Bill Belichick to Lil Wayne.

What you’ll need to watch: A pay TV package, or an antenna for ABC, or an ESPN Unlimited account.

Prime Video

Main window: Thursday night

Playoffs: 1 wild-card game

Most weeks begin with “Thursday Night Football,” which kicks off at 8:15 p.m. Those games are behind the Prime paywall, but they’re free over the air in the participants’ home markets. Flex rules around TNF are a bit less hectic, with two allotments between Weeks 13-17.

Thursdays are called by Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit, with Kaylee Hartung on sideline duty. Herbstreit loves dogs; Michaels hates vegetables. Prime has Spanish-language coverage and advanced stat broadcast options within its app. Among the pregame and postgame personalities are former All-Pros Tony Gonzalez, Richard Sherman and Andrew Whitworth.

The Eagles’ lone TNF appearance comes on Christmas Eve, when they host the Houston Texans.

What you’ll need to watch: Amazon Prime. TNF is also free on Twitch with a registered account.

NFL Network

The league-owned media outlet is now under ESPN’s purview, thanks to a blockbuster deal that gave the NFL a 10 percent ownership stake in “The Worldwide Leader in Sports.” As of July 30, NFL Network is integrated into the ESPN Unlimited plan. It can also be accessed through NFL+ or NFL+ Premium.

NFL Network has five of the international games, plus a pair of Saturday matchups in Week 16 to be revealed at least two weeks prior to Dec. 26. Those two have 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. kickoffs.

Eagles great Jason Kelce will be on the call alongside Dave Pasch and Kurt Warner when Philadelphia takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. That Oct. 11 game will begin at 9:30 a.m., live from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What you’ll need to watch: A pay TV package, or access to NFL+, NFL+ Premium or ESPN Unlimited.

Netflix

Remember when Netflix was shipping DVDs in red envelopes? Now, the streaming behemoth continues to expand its relationship with the NFL. It has five regular-season games in the upcoming season, including two of the three Christmas Day marquees. Like TNF on Prime, these Netflix games are over the air in their respective local markets.

As reported by The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, new Hall of Famer Luke Kuechly has been tapped as Netflix’s top NFL analyst. He and Noah Eagle (son of CBS’ Ian Eagle) are on the call for the Week 1 export at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia.

What you’ll need to watch: A Netflix subscription.

Watching all 17 regular-season Eagles games costs $40-$125 per month for in-market fans and $115-$200 for out-of-market viewers. Those figures are based on average prices for pay TV and NFL Sunday Ticket, plus the lowest subscription tiers for Netflix, Peacock and Prime. All subscription prices are included in the estimate due to the possibility of late-season flexes. To cut down the cost a little, Twitch can be used on mobile to cover TNF broadcasts on Prime.
