The Philadelphia Eagles are taking their talents across the Atlantic! The team officially announced on Wednesday that they will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season—and the game will be played in Great Britain.
Set for Sunday, October 11, at 9:30 AM ET on NFL Network, this London showdown promises to be a thrilling early-morning affair for fans stateside. The Eagles' social media post teased the matchup with a creative graphic featuring quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Trevor Lawrence alongside the iconic Big Ben, signaling a true international clash.
This isn't just any regular-season game—it's a chance for Philly to showcase its brand of football on the global stage. For fans planning their fall schedules, mark your calendars: the Eagles will also face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, adding to what's shaping up to be a memorable season.
The 2026 NFL schedule will be released Thursday night, and in a rare twist, the regular season will kick off on a Wednesday—only the second time that's happened in league history. The last Wednesday start was in 2012, to accommodate then-President Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention. Now, with London on the horizon, the Eagles are ready to soar internationally.
