Eagles face Commanders in Week 1 of 2026 NFL season

The Philadelphia Eagles open their 2026 NFL season against the Washington Commanders in Week 1. Key additions for the Commanders include OC David Blough and WR Brandon Aiyuk, though the latter's participation is uncertain. The Commanders have struggled in recent seasons, posting a 5-12 record in 2026 after a 4-13 season in 2025. Offensive changes, including the departure of OC Kliff Kingsbury and other key players, raise questions about their improvement. The Eagles, under head coach Nick Sirianni, aim to capitalize on Washington's inconsistent performance out of the gate.
