The Eagles’ schedule has two key unknowns: their Week 16 Saturday matchup against the Washington Commanders (kickoff TBD) and the Week 18 regular-season finale, which will have its day and time determined after Week 17. This flexibility, while potentially offering more compelling matchups for national audiences, can create scheduling headaches for traveling fans.
Beyond the Broadcast: Eagles’ Title Defense Outlook
While the viewing logistics are complex, the Eagles’ on-field prospects remain bright. Their championship core provides a solid foundation, and the addition of Saquon Barkley injects explosive potential into their already potent ground game. Vic Fangio’s defensive unit is expected to continue its disruptive ways.

With Jalen Hurts at the helm and a strong supporting cast, the Eagles are built to contend. The success of their title defense will hinge on maintaining player health and capitalizing on their established strengths.
