Philadelphia Eagles face Washington Commanders in Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles Saquon Barkley NFL Week 1 Washington Commanders NFC East

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to begin their 2026 NFL season this Sunday, September 13, against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field. The matchup serves as a rematch of the 2024 NFC Championship Game, with a kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX.

Ahead of the season opener, analysts have highlighted running back Saquon Barkley as a critical player for the Eagles' success. While much of the preseason focus has centered on the team's passing game and quarterback Jalen Hurts, experts suggest the offense's effectiveness will rely heavily on the run game led by Barkley and the offensive line.

The Week 1 broadcast on FOX will feature a commentary team including Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews, and Tom Rinaldi.
