How to watch Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders today for NFL Week 1
The Philadelphia Eagles will begin the 2026 season today in Week 1 vs. the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.
Last season, the Eagles fell short of expectations after winning Super Bowl LIX, and an early playoff exit vs. the San Francisco 49ers brought plenty of changes.
The team traded away star wide receiver A.J. Brown. Sean Mannion replaced Kevin Patullo as offensive coordinator. And longtime offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland stepped away after 13 seasons.

Storylines to watch in Eagles-Commanders
- All eyes will be on the Eagles' new offense with Mannion, the first-year coordinator, calling plays. Jalen Hurts has had different offensive coordinators going back to his college days, but this is the most drastic change of his NFL career. Mannion has a background in the Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay systems, which means Philadelphia's offense will feature more under center, play action, motion and throws over the middle of the field. The new offense will likely define the Eagles' season.
- How healthy will the Eagles' offensive line be in the 2026 season? After Philadelphia's offensive line paved the way for Saquon Barkley to a historic season and a Super Bowl title, the team wasn't healthy in 2025. Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson never recovered from their injuries, and Lane Johnson missed the team's final eight games. The Eagles' offensive line has spoken highly of the team's new scheme heading into the 2026 season.
- Did the Eagles do enough at wide receiver to replace Brown? The 2026 season will be DeVonta Smith's first year at the team's No. 1 wideout after Brown was traded to the New England Patriots. For years, Smith has played second fiddle to Brown, but there's now a pathway for him to have a career year. The Birds made several moves in the offseason to fill the rest of the receiving depth chart. They traded for Dontayvion Wicks, drafted Makai Lemon, signed veterans Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore and Darius Cooper returns for another season after making the team as an undrafted free agent in 2025.
