The Philadelphia Eagles officially unveiled their 2026 preseason schedule, and the three-game slate includes two matchups against AFC North opponents surrounding a highly intriguing showdown against the New England Patriots.
Philadelphia opens preseason play on Saturday, August 15, with a road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. The game will mark the preseason debut of new Ravens head coach Jesse Minter and could offer Eagles fans an early glimpse at several young players competing for roster spots.
The Eagles then travel to New England on August 22 for a matchup that already carries extra intrigue because of continued speculation surrounding star wide receiver A.J. Brown. While Brown remains firmly on Philadelphia's roster, the Patriots continue to be loosely connected in offseason rumors involving veteran playmakers and aggressive roster-building moves. Philadelphia closes the preseason at home on Friday, August 28, hosting the Cincinnati Bengals at Lincoln Financial Field in what could become the most entertaining matchup of the preseason slate.
The schedule gives the Eagles opportunities to face physical AFC North competition before opening the regular season against the Washington Commanders in Week 1.
As always, preseason storylines will center around rookie development, depth battles, and how much playing time starters receive. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and most of Philadelphia's veteran stars are unlikely to see extended action, but players like rookie linebacker and several young defensive contributors could receive significant reps throughout August.
