SWB RAILRIDERS: Yankees’ Cole to make rehab start Saturday at PNC Field
Yankees' Gerrit Cole to pitch rehab game at PNC Field Saturday.
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to wear their Kelly Green uniforms at least twice during the 2026 season. Fans are eagerly anticipating the specific matchups for these popular throwback uniforms.
The Philadelphia Eagles officially unveiled their 2026 regular-season schedule, and while fans immediately began circling primetime matchups, revenge games, and playoff implications, another important question quickly followed:
When will the Eagles wear Kelly Green?
Philadelphia's throwback uniforms have become one of the NFL's most popular alternate looks since their return, and every season now brings intense speculation about which games will receive the Kelly Green treatment. In 2023, the Eagles unveiled the long-awaited Kelly Green throwback alternate uniforms, which are now worn at least twice a season. Philadelphia released an All-Black helmet in 2022 to help appease fans. Still, thanks to a ruling on the all-black alternate uniforms, Kelly Green and five other looks will become fixtures in the uniform combinations at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles have not officially announced their 2026 uniform schedule yet, but several matchups immediately stand out as likely candidates.
If there is one game that screams Kelly Green, it's the Monday Night Football showdown against the Dallas Cowboys on October 26. The rivalry alone makes this an obvious possibility, but the national television stage only increases the appeal. Philadelphia loves showcasing Kelly Green uniforms in marquee home games, and there are few bigger regular-season moments than a primetime NFC East battle against Dallas at Lincoln Financial Field.
The specific dates for the Eagles' Kelly Green uniforms in 2026 have not been officially announced yet.
The Kelly Green uniforms are a beloved throwback look that has become a fan favorite since their return, symbolizing the team's history and tradition.
In addition to the Kelly Green uniforms, the Eagles will feature several other uniform combinations, including the all-black alternate uniforms.

The visual atmosphere for that matchup would be incredible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The safest projection remains:
Those two home games feel like the cleanest combination of tradition, atmosphere, television appeal, and historical necessity.
