Eagles vs. Commanders Week 1 game information

The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders are set to launch their 2026 campaigns in an opening-week clash on Sunday, September 13. Highlighting the divisional showdown is a duel between quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Jayden Daniels.

Philadelphia looks to build on offensive pillars like running back Saquon Barkley and exploit weaknesses in the Washington secondary, though the Eagles will navigate the contest without one of their Pro Bowl defenders.

Washington presents its own threats on the ground with Daniels leading an active rushing attack alongside potential challenges created by Philadelphia's evolving offensive scheme. Despite these hurdles, the Eagles enter the battle backed by notable strengths in defensive personnel, red-zone execution, and turnover margins.
