Kickoff is said to be set for 4:25 PM Eastern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This marks just the second time since the Nick Sirianni era began in 2021 that the Birds will be starting the season in their own stadium. A quick recap:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">2021 \u2014 at Atlanta Falcons (win)<br \/>2022 \u2014 at Detroit Lions (win)<br \/>2023 \u2014 at New England Patriots (win)<br \/>2024 \u2014 vs. Green Bay Packers in Brazil (win)<br \/>2025 \u2014 vs. Dallas Cowboys (win)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The last time the Eagles lost a Week 1 game was when a Carson Wentz-led squad blew a lead to Ron Rivera\u2019s Washington Football Team to open the 2020 campaign. It was a bad start to what was ultimately a very bad and franchise-altering season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Eagles will be looking to get off to a good start in 2026 with a win over an NFC East rival. The NFL scheduling the Commanders so early helps to ensure that Jayden Daniels will be playing in this game after he missed Philly twice last year. Washington figures to be hungry to bounce back from last year\u2019s struggles. Eagles fans who are also Sixers fans should be hungry to see the Birds crush Washington owner Josh Harris, who has been a bad basketball owner and should sell the team to someone who actually cares about the 76ers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles will begin their 2026 schedule at Lincoln Financial Field with a Week 1 home game&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[276287,99],"class_list":["post-642996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-philadelphia-eagles-schedule","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
