The anticipation is reaching a fever pitch for Birds fans as the NFL prepares to drop the full 2026 schedule this Thursday night. With the Philadelphia Eagles already confirmed for a London showdown in October and a Thanksgiving clash against the Cowboys, the excitement is building fast.

“Eagles are going to bury them in London,” one fired-up fan told Action News, capturing the growing trash talk that erupted as soon as the overseas matchup was announced. The Birds will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, October 11, with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff—perfect for an early morning football fix.

“It’s nice to wake up at 9 and watch some football,” said Nick Castle of Northeast Philadelphia, reflecting a sentiment many fans share. For those planning to make the trip, the memories of eight years ago are still fresh, and travel companies are already seeing a surge in interest.

Stefanie Morgan, president of the Green Legion travel company, noted that fans wasted no time calling about packages to London. “It’s not just about going to London for the Eagles game—it’s about exploring London for what it has to offer,” she said, expecting around a thousand fans to join the journey. Her team is handling flights, hotels, and sightseeing to ensure a seamless experience.

Whether watching from home or traveling abroad, Eagles fans are ready to support their team in full force. “Just waiting to see when we play Green Bay and Seattle, and all their big games,” Castle added, as the countdown to the full schedule release continues. The NFL will announce all teams’ schedules at 8 p.m. Thursday, and for Eagles faithful, the wait is almost over.
