**The Philadelphia Eaglesâ 2026 schedule is here**. Now itâs the perfect time to predict the outcome of every single game.
Some might say this is a useless activity. To that I preemptively reply: lighten up, Francis. Weâre just trying to have some fun.
Also, this projection is bound to be 100% accurate, so itâs actually pretty useful.
This time last year, I had the 2025 Eagles finishing with a 12-5 regular season record. Had they not rested starters in Week 18, they mightâve been able to get there instead of going 11-6. In any case, 2025 marked the third year in a row where my initial record prediction for the Eagles was only off by one game.
Letâs take a look at how things will definitely shake out!
Josh Harris should sell the Sixers to someone who actually cares about them. He should absolutely continue to be the Commandersâ owner, though. Washington should be better than they were last year, which isnât saying much. But their roster still lacks talent, especially on defense. This could be a good spot for a new-look Eagles offense under Sean Mannion to get rolling.
**EAGLES WIN: 1-0**
Q&A
What is the predicted record for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026?
The predicted record for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026 is 10-7.
Which teams are the Philadelphia Eagles expected to lose to in 2026?
The Eagles are expected to lose to the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Rams in 2026.
When do the Philadelphia Eagles play the Washington Commanders in 2026?
The Philadelphia Eagles are scheduled to play the Washington Commanders twice in 2026, once in Week 1 and again in Week 9.
How many games will the Philadelphia Eagles play before their bye week in 2026?
The Philadelphia Eagles will play nine games before their bye week in 2026.
Trap game in Week 2? Could be since the Eagles might be coming off a big division win ahead of a primetime game against another NFC contender in Week 3. Cam Ward might make a leap from Year 1 to Year 2. All this being said, the Titans have done nothing to earn the benefit of the doubt.
**EAGLES WIN: 2-0**
Chicago in late September should be beautiful for visiting Eagles fans to experience. Unfortunately, the Birds are going to lose this game with Ben Johnson causing more problems for Phillyâs defense like they did on Black Friday last year.
**EAGLES LOSE: 2-1**
The Rams are going to want this game so bad after nearly finally having had the Eagles beat last season prior to a game-winning blocked field goal by Jordan Davis. LA has a claim as the top team in the NFC and they will be tough to beat.
**EAGLES LOSE: 2-2**
Should be a lot of Eagles fans who cross the pond to attend this game. The Jags overachieved last year but this offseason hasnât exactly been aces for them. Theyâre going to take a step back and the Eagles will break their two-game losing streak with a win in England.
**EAGLES WIN: 3-2**
No bye week for the Eagles coming off their trip to the United Kingdom. Despite the extended travel, they will return home to beat Philly native Bryce Young. Andy Dalton is going to take a snap in this game, be it filling in for an injured Jalen Hurts or garbage time action. My crystal ball tells me so.
**EAGLES WIN: 4-2**
A hard fought NFC East battle against the Cowboys goes in Phillyâs favor. Vic Fangioâs defense stifles the Dallas offense as Christian Parkerâs unit struggles to slow down Sean Mannion.
**EAGLES WIN: 5-2**
Itâs a new era for the Giants under John Harbaugh. But are we sure it definitely wonât be more of the same? Would like to see some proof of concept first. Jaxson Dart also needs to prove he can stay healthy. The Birds are rolling for their fourth straight win.
**EAGLES WIN: 6-2**
**Week 9 â at Washington Commanders**
This has the feeling of an annoying loss that the Eagles let slip through their fingers. Weâll say Jayden Daniels makes some big plays to give the Eagles their third loss of the season. Josh Harris will be cheering as his aimless Sixers are beginning another wasted season.
**EAGLES LOSE: 6-3**
**Week 10 â Bye**
Nine games before the bye, eight games after the bye. Closest to the halfway point that youâll get.
This is where I remind you that the Steelers havenât won in Philadelphia since 1965. No reason to believe those Yinzers led by old ass Aaron Rodgers (?) and Mike McCarthy are changing that streak. In the same year that the Flyers beat the Penguins in the first round, the Eagles will maintain Pennsylvania supremacy with a win in the battle of the Keystone State.
**EAGLES WIN: 7-3**
**Week 12** â at Dallas Cowboys
The Eagles have never lost to the Cowboys on Thanksgiving (2-0). But the Eagles are merely 1-7 in their last eight games down in Dallas ⊠and that sole win came over Cooper Rush. Unless Dak Prescott gets hurt again, this is a loss. Itâs just not easy for the Eagles to win in Dallas and itâs just not easy for the Eagles to sweep the Cowboys.
**EAGLES LOSE: 7-4**
I imagine Nick Sirianni really wants to beat Shane Steichen. Daniel Jones isnât scaring anybody and Jonathan Taylor wonât have the same kind of year again in 2026.
**EAGLES WIN: 8-4**
The Eagles know all too well how hard it is to repeat as Super Bowl champs. But that Seattle team was dominant last year and they still have a lot of good pieces. Plus, the last time the Eagles beat the Seahawks was back in 2008. The players and coaches change but that team just has Phillyâs number.
**EAGLES LOSE: 9-5**
Predicting Eagles losses on both Thanskgiving and Christmas Eve would be pretty bleak. I really like DeMeco Ryans. Iâm less sold on C.J. Stroud and Houstonâs roster. This will be a tough battle where the Eagles come out on top in overtime.
**EAGLES WIN: 10-5**
The Whiners will be pushing for a playoff spot in a loaded NFC West. This will be a result of the replica (Sean Mannion) being lesser than the real thing (Kyle Shanahan) in a similar vein to how Vic Fangioâs assistant do not measure up to the veteran defensive coordinator himself.
**EAGLES LOSE: 10-6**
**Week 18 â at New York Giants**
I know the Giants beat the Eagles once last year but I just refuse to give them that benefit of the doubt.
**EAGLES WIN: 11-6**
**FINAL RECORD: 11-6**
The Eaglesâ 2026 schedule is the seventh-easiest in the NFL based on projected win totals. Even though there have been some rough patches, theyâve consistently won double digit games and made the playoffs in each season since Nick Sirianni was hired in 2021.
Of course, thereâs a strong case to be made Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie are the biggest drivers of the Eaglesâ success. And there have been times, such as last season, when the assembled talent has underperformed.
Sirianni needs to be better in 2026. As does Jalen Hurts, who is said to be taking well to new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Itâs possible this offense gets humming, especially if the offensive line is healthier. There are still some questions in that regard, just as there are related to the impact of Jeff Stoutland leaving.
What *shouldnât* be questioned is the Eaglesâ defensive outlook. Vic Fangio has a lot of talent to work with, so, that unit should be expected to be strong once again.
All told, the feeling here is that the offense could have some ups and downs while the defense more often than not this teamâs rock. There is potential for things to spin off the rails; sometimes disaster is much closer than it appears (I donât recall people expecting the 2020 Eagles to look as bad as they did ahead of what became a franchise-altering season). But given the franchiseâs penchant for high-level success in recent years, one must believe they could win big once again.
**PLAYOFFS?!**
Iâm going to say 11-6 is good enough for a Wild Card spot, not good enough to threepeat as NFC East champions with Dallas seizing the division lead. The Cowboys have a favorable 2026 outlook since they still have one of the NFLâs top offenses and they probably just need their defense not to be the total disaster it was last year.
For the second year in a row, the Eagles make the postseason but fail to win a playoff game.
