The Philadelphia Eagles' 2024 schedule has been released, highlighting the team's prominent presence in prime-time games and significant matchups throughout the season. The Eagles will kick off their season with an internationally televised game against Green Bay in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 6. This marks a historic start to their regular season as they showcase their potential early on.

Following their international opener, the Eagles will face the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field on September 16. The schedule includes notable games in Weeks 8 through 13:

- Week 8: The Eagles play Cincinnati on October 27.

- Week 9: Philadelphia hosts Jacksonville.

- Week 10: They travel to Dallas on November 10.

- Week 11: The Washington Commanders visit Lincoln Financial Field for a Thursday night game.

- Week 12: A prime-time game against the Los Angeles Rams.

- Week 13: A road game at Baltimore.

"The NFL understands the potential strength of this team," noted a league representative, emphasizing the team's star power and national appeal. In total, five prime-time games highlight their schedule.

A few key aspects of the schedule include facing Kirk Cousins for a third consecutive year in a Week 2 matchup against Atlanta and former Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson's return with Jacksonville in Week 9. The Eagles also have three consecutive games against NFC South teams early in the season and an early bye week after playing New Orleans.

Philadelphia's NFC East slate begins later than usual this year, starting with Saquon Barkley's return to MetLife Stadium in Week 7. Notably, the Eagles' final road trip is scheduled for Los Angeles in Week 12 before concluding their regular season with divisional matchups against Washington, Dallas, and New York Giants.

The challenging schedule features eight games against seven playoff teams from last season. "This is another prime-time schedule for a prime-time team," remarked an NFL spokesperson about the Eagles' consistent presence under national scrutiny.
