Philadelphia and Washington meet in season opener at Lincoln Financial Field

The Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field for their 2026 season opener. Turnovers represent a key focus for both teams following their performance records from the previous season. Philadelphia finished the 2025 campaign with a plus-six turnover margin, while Washington struggled with a minus-13 margin. Quarterback Jalen Hurts led the Eagles with 25 touchdown passes and six interceptions last year. Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels maintained ball security during his limited seven-game appearance, throwing only three interceptions. The Commanders look to improve their defensive takeaways after managing only 10 during the prior season, compared to 21 for Philadelphia. The Eagles enter the contest with a secondary reinforced by Cooper DeJean, Jalyx Hunt, and Riq Woolen.
