The Philadelphia Eagles are packing their passports once again—this time heading across the Atlantic for a high-stakes showdown with the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. According to NBC Sports Philadelphia's Ryan Fowler, the Birds will face the Jags in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, October 11, with a 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff.
Here's the good news for Eagles fans: Philadelphia won't be giving up a home game. The Jaguars will serve as the designated home team, meaning the Eagles keep all eight of their games at Lincoln Financial Field. This marks the team's second trip to London, following a 2018 victory over Jacksonville at Wembley Stadium. This time, they'll experience a completely different international atmosphere at the state-of-the-art Tottenham venue.
The matchup itself is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing interconference battles of the season. Jacksonville enters 2026 on a serious high note after a 13-4 campaign that secured an AFC South title under head coach Liam Coen, who quickly became one of the NFL's rising coaching stars in his debut season. Though the Jaguars fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round, expectations remain sky-high for Trevor Lawrence and company.
On the other side, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles once again project as NFC contenders, despite another offseason of roster and coaching adjustments. This international stage offers both teams a chance to make a statement in front of a global audience.
The Eagles have steadily become one of the NFL's premier global brands, so an international showcase feels like a natural next step. And with Philadelphia fans known for traveling in force, expect plenty of midnight green filling the stands at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium—even thousands of miles from home.
For the Eagles, this London trip adds another layer of difficulty to an already demanding 2026 schedule. International games always come with unique challenges, from time zone adjustments to altered routines. But if any team knows how to make a road trip feel like a home game, it's the Eagles and their loyal fanbase.
