Ranking the best Eagles road trips for 2026
Quote from Bachie on August 24, 2026, 9:37 amThe NFL schedule for this season is officially here! After the leaks and teasers all week, Eagles fans now know exactly when their team will be playing from September through will be Eagles football on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and more, but some Birds fans out there are already gunning to see them play on the road this year, giving new meaning to agles Everywhere.f you're looking for an Eagles road trip this year, which one is the best? Here's my ranking of the Birds' eight away games as I lay out which ones are the best to attend, taking into consideration, the weather, the time of the year, the opponent and whatever else comes to Cowboys, Week 12, Thursday, Nov.26, 4:30 p. Eagles will be heading down to Texas for a Thanksgiving afternoon matchup with the Cowboys.I made my first EaglesCowboys road trip last season, which saw the Birds blow a 21point lead right in front of my great! Surprisingly, and perhaps even anticlimactically, Cowboys fans were welcoming and fairly nice to my friends and me.I don't see the appeal in the slightest, however, in spending the holiday down in the DallasFort WorthArlington on your couch with your family and take a quick nap at halftime after the second helping of sweet potato yams! I've attended an Eagles Thanksgiving home game before, which was against Arizona in 's a little was the late game for the day and it was an easy trip for someone living in the city that time of the year is stressful and expensive, too.I'm out on it! Commanders, Week 8, Sunday, No.1 Drew Kendall Jersey, 8:20 p. an absolute what's worse than a dilapidated stadium in the early afternoon? A dilapidated stadium at Commanders play in the middle of nowhere and it's hard to get both into and out of the stadium grounds.A quick day trip for a game like this makes sense if you're on one of those large fancentric buses, but with a trip of roughly twoandahalf hours before even taking traffic into consideration, those are much more palatable for 1 p. rather than primetime , yeah, Northwest Stadium has the worst sight lines of any NFL home, pass! Francisco 49ers https://www.philadelphiafootballshop.com/collections/brandon-hayes-jersey, Week 17, Jan.3, 8:20 p.'s Stadium, home of the 49ers, is actually in Santa Clara, about a 50minute drive from San Francisco proper, so this isn't necessarily the easiest game to get to if you were planning on staying in the Bay Area for a 's in stark contrast to the San Francisco Giants' ballpark, Oracle Park, which is perhaps the best incity stadium in all of American sports, right alongside the San Francisco teams that play nowhere close to their city centers take the simplicity and fun out of road to an Eagles game in general is almost always a stressful endeavor, win or logistical nightmares once you're just waiting for kickoff only hurts the overall I imagine the weather will be terrible for this, there is a chance that a Week 17 Eagles49ers game has major playoff implications.I'm still throwing up a travel advisory though! York Giants, Week 18, date and time TBDWeek 18 could be an entirely meaningless affair for the if you're hitting MetLife Stadium for this one, you'll see Cole Payton's first real NFL along with that train of thought, seeing a game with rather low stakes makes for a decent first road trip experience, particularly for one this close just up I95 to the swamps of New 's like dipping your feet into the shallow end of the pool before cannonballing into AT T Stadium for an EaglesCowboys , there isn't a lot of pizzazz about seeing an EaglesGiants game on the road, but it's enjoyable enough with a short commute and there's bound to be a good amount of Birds fans in attendance too.I've made trips to MetLife as both a media member and a are worse ways to spend your time! Cardinals, Week 13, Dec.6, 4:05 p.m.I went to the Super Bowl Week festivities as a media member for EaglesChiefs Phoenix was actually pretty sweet and there's a famed Eagles bar in nearby Scottsdale I hit up called people there! The vibes are good, but I will say that the Cardinals' stadium itself is in Glendale, which is a little under a half hour away from Phoenix 's not the worst ride ever, especially compared to some other locales on this list, but still merits in December would be a nice way to escape a Philadelphia winter for a little as well! Jaguars, Week 5, Oct., 9:30 a.m.I'll be honest when I say this slate of potential road trips this season is pretty Jaguars game in London, just like the one the Eagles made the trip across the pond for in 2018, is the first one that intrigues me in the slightest, but I still don't love from feelings on the NFL's overexpansion into the international market, I feel like if you're going to go to London or Europe in general, you should do a legitimate trip where you take in the culture, see the sights and live a way you never have before rather than merely partying with Birds fans for a handful of days and seeing the Eagles play in 've already spent our lives doing that!If you have the cash and can make the trip, I imagine you'll still have fun regardless, but I adhere to my stance on seeing the Eagles overseas. Bears, Week 3, Sept.28, 8:15 p. is a clearcut top two for my list.I love 's a great city.I've been a few times over the years, most recently during a 4th of July trip in 2024 to see the Phillies play at Wrigley Field and take it all Windy City can obviously get a little cold, so my fear was that this EaglesBears matchup would come late in the season with the weather causing this trip to lose some of its inherent September in primetime at Soldier Field? That's the trip before the Bears have a new suburban Chicago or Indiana, too!Make sure to do the architecture boat tour if you go as it clichd? A it worthwhile nonetheless? Very much so. Titans, Week 2, Sept.20, 1:00 p.m.I know Eagles fans are going to pack this 's a guarantee.I will speak from experience nowI saw the Eagles play in Nashville back in Sept. Birds were coming off their first Super Bowl win and fans overtook the town.I'm not into the whole honky tonk scene down there, but the food was excellent and the energy was was quite hot though given that it was Tennessee in that EaglesTitans game, an overtime loss unfortunately, kickoff temperature is listed as 80 degrees on profootballreference, but being in the top level of Nissan Stadium with the sun beating down https://www.philadelphiafootballshop.com/collections/uar-bernard-jersey, it easily felt 15 degrees hotter than that.A sweaty walk to my nowwife and I's Airbnb after that loss was brutal, but fun was had regardless that weekend!I give an early season Nashville adventure my official stamp of approval!
