The Philadelphia Eagles’ 2024 Opponents Are Set

Following a 10-1 start to the 2023 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles struggled down the stretch, losing five of their last six to finish at 11-6 for the year, leaving them one game back of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East.

As such, not only was the Eagles’ playoff seeding affected by their late-season swoon, but their 2024 campaign was also altered, as a team’s regular-season finish helps determine opponents for the following year. And now, per a January 12 NFL press release, Nick Sirianni’s squad knows precisely who they’ll play and where each game will take place.

As it’s been every season since the league realigned the divisions in 2002, the Eagles will spend six of their 17 games battling their three rivals in the NFC East: the Cowboys, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders.

With every NFC East team facing every NFC South team per the three-year rotating cycle within the conference, the Eagles will also meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, and Carolina Panthers.

The remaining two games within the NFC for Philadelphia will be contested against the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams, who were the second-place finishers in their respective divisions.

As for the Eagles’ AFC opponents in 2024, the cycle dictates that each team from the NFC East will battle each team from the AFC North, meaning Philadelphia will take on the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Cincinnati Bengals.

The cycle also dictates that every team from the NFC East will play the AFC South team that finished in the same position, pitting the Eagles against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who had a late-season swoon of their own.

Here’s a look at the home-away breakdown of the Eagles’ 2024 opponents.
