Predicting when the Eagles will wear Kelly Green uniforms in 2026

The visual atmosphere for that matchup would be incredible.

Week 9 vs. the New York Giants makes sense historically

The Eagles have often used Kelly Green during daytime divisional home games, and the Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants fits that profile perfectly. The early-November timing also feels ideal aesthetically, especially with cooler weather and a traditional NFC East setting that matches the uniforms' nostalgic feel.

Week 15 vs. the Seattle Seahawks could become the surprise choice

If Philadelphia wants maximum national attention for the uniforms, the Week 15 Saturday night showdown against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks would be an elite option. The Eagles have struggled against Seattle historically, losing eight straight meetings, which already gives the matchup major intrigue. Add Kelly Green uniforms under the lights at Lincoln Financial Field, and it instantly becomes one of the season's biggest visual showcases.

London game likely remains unlikely

While the international matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London would certainly create buzz, the Eagles will probably avoid using Kelly Green overseas. Popular NFL teams typically prefer cleaner, more consistent branding during international games, especially in standalone NFL showcase events. Midnight Green remains the safer expectation there.

Christmas game could stay traditional

Philadelphia hosts the Houston Texans on Christmas Eve in Week 16, but that game also feels more likely to feature the Eagles' standard home uniforms. Holiday games already feature unique emotions, nd the organization may prefer its traditional look during a nationally televised Thursday-night showcase.

Final prediction

The safest projection remains:

• Week 7 vs. Dallas
• Week 9 vs. Giants

Those two home games feel like the cleanest combination of tradition, atmosphere, television appeal, and historical necessity.
