PHILADELPHIA — For more than a decade, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys have held an ironclad grip on the NFC East. Since 2016, the two rivals have claimed nine division titles between them, leaving the rest of the division fighting for scraps. But as the 2026 NFL season kicks off this Sunday, the Washington Commanders visit Lincoln Financial Field aiming to prove that a changing of the guard in the East is officially underway.
The marquee Week 1 rivalry matchup features the return of a fully healthy Jayden Daniels. After taking the league by storm during a historic rookie campaign two years ago that carried Washington all the way to the NFC Championship Game, Daniels enters 2026 fully recovered and eager to re-establish the Commanders as legitimate championship contenders.
For Philadelphia, the opening-week division duel represents an immediate, high-stakes test on home turf. The Eagles look to assert their usual dominance in the division behind a star-studded roster, setting up a thrilling battle between two franchises moving in very different directions over recent seasons.
Kickoff between the Commanders and Eagles is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday, September 13.
