After the Eagles ended up as the No. 3 seed in the NFC, we knew they were going to host the No. 6-seeded 49ers in a wild-card matchup.
Now we know when.
The Eagles (11-6) will host the 49ers (12-5) at 4:30 p.m. next Sunday afternoon on FOX.
Here’s the full NFL schedule for wild-card weekend:
Saturday, Jan. 10
4:30 p.m. – No. 5 Rams at No. 4 Panthers on FOX
8 p.m. – No. 7 Packers at No. 2 Bears on Prime Video
Sunday, Jan. 11
1 p.m. – No. 6 Bills at No. 3 Jaguars on CBS
4:30 p.m. – No. 6 49ers at No. 3 Eagles on FOX
8 p.m. – No. 7 Chargers at No. 2 Patriots on NBC
Monday, Jan. 12
8 p.m. – No. 5 Texans at No. 4 Ravens/Steelers
The Eagles entered Week 18 with a chance at moving up to the No. 2 seed and even got some help when the Lions beat the Bears in Chicago. But then the Eagles lost the Commanders in a game where Nick Sirianni decided to rest his starters.
But now the Eagles are well-rested and will play a 49ers team that lost their game on Saturday for a chance to be the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
