Eagles confirms Week 5 matchup vs. Jaguars in London

The Philadelphia Eagles are officially heading back overseas as the NFL announced the Birds will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London during Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. The game will take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, October 11, with kickoff scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.

Importantly for Philadelphia, the Eagles are not surrendering a home game in the international matchup. Jacksonville will serve as the designated home team for the contest. This will mark another trip to London for Philadelphia, following the Eagles' overseas victory over Jacksonville in the 2018 season. That matchup took place at Wembley Stadium, meaning this year's game will introduce the Eagles to an entirely different international venue and atmosphere.

The matchup itself could become one of the more intriguing interconference games on the 2026 schedule.

Jacksonville enters the season coming off a 13-4 campaign that earned an AFC South title under head coach Liam Coen, who quickly emerged as one of the NFL's rising coaching stars in his first season. The Jaguars ultimately fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round, but expectations remain extremely high entering 2026.

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence will headline Jacksonville's offense against an Eagles team once again expected to contend near the top of the NFC. On the other side, Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia's offense will attempt to continue thriving despite another offseason filled with roster and coaching changes.

The Eagles have steadily become one of the NFL's premier global brands, making an international showcase matchup unsurprising. Philadelphia fans also traditionally travel extremely well, meaning Tottenham Hotspur Stadium could feature a strong presence despite being thousands of miles away from Lincoln Financial Field.
