Philadelphia Eagles Schedule, News Update | Fan Page
Because the NFC East was drunk last season, the Eagles Game somehow enter 2020 as defending division champions. That means the Eagles' 2020 schedule is a first-place slate, though based on NFL strength of schedule rankings for 2020, all four NFC East teams rank near the bottom of the league in terms of difficulty.
Philadelphia in 2020 will have a strong chance to improve upon its 9-7 record from last season. Of course, the same can be said for the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins. As always, the schedules of teams in the NFC East are cluttered with tough divisional matchup after tough divisional matchup.
Outside of the division, the Eagles' 2020 schedule features some tricky games against first-place teams from a season ago, including another trip to Green Bay. The good news for fans in Philadelphia is the list of intriguing, non-divisional quarterbacks who will visit The Linc in 2020: Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Drew Brees, Joe Burrow and Jared Goff.
Here is a complete breakdown of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2020 schedule, including dates and start times for all 16 games and our early prediction.
Philadelphia Eagles Game Online
While using an over-the-air TV antenna is still the best way to freely watch most NFL games, if the Philadelphia Eagles Game is on ESPN, NFL Network or is blacked out for attendance reasons, you can still watch it, albeit with a little bit of work involved.
If you are looking to stream NFL games online using one of their official apps, you have a few options:
NFL Gamepass - NFL Gamepass allows you to stream any NFL game after the live game has ended. This will be your cheapest and easiest option, but obviously you won't be able to watch the games live. There is a free trial available.
- NFL Sunday Ticket - NFL Sunday Ticket will allow you to live stream NFL games from any device, but the catch is that you can only watch out-of-market games. This means if you live in the market you are trying to watch the game for, you'll need to mask your location with a VPN (see below).

Analysis
The Eagles have the eighth-easiest schedule in terms of their opponents' 2019 winning percentage, per CBSSports.com's John Breech.
That figure is somewhat deceiving because playing four games against the New York Giants and Washington Redskins (seven combined wins) drags it down.
In addition, the 6-10 Cleveland Browns should be better in 2020. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who won eight games, will have Ben Roethlisberger back under center, too, and the Arizona Cardinals acquired DeAndre Hopkins to aid Kyler Murray in his sophomore campaign.
The difficulty of games against the Baltimore Ravens, Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks largely goes without saying. Philadelphia will at least welcome all bar Green Bay and San Francisco to Lincoln Financial Field.
Whatever advantage the Eagles have by playing in the NFC East is outweighed by a difficult slate outside of the division.
Pivotal Matchups
This is pretty easy: Just circle those two games against the Cowboys.
Heading into Week 16 in 2019, Dallas had an opportunity to clinch a division title, and Philadelphia only had two receivers who weren't listed on the injury report. Zach Ertz also lacerated his kidney in that game. Carson Wentz still somehow threw for 319 yards in a 17-9 win.
The Eagles doomed Dallas to missing the playoffs, which sealed Jason Garrett's fate in North Texas.
The NFC East is likely to come down to a head-to-head battle between these two teams once again. The Giants are at least another year away from contention, and Ron Rivera inherited an even bigger rebuilding job when he took over in Washington.
In the event the Cowboys jump out to an early lead in the division standings, the Eagles' matchups with the Rams, Seahawks, Packers and 49ers could carry significant implications in the NFC wild-card race.
