Everything You Need To Know About What Time The Eagles Play On Sunday

Eagles fans, are you ready to bleed green? Knowing exactly when your team takes the field is crucial for planning your Sunday, whether you’re tailgating, hosting a watch party, or just settling in on the couch. This listicle breaks down everything you need to know about catching the Eagles' Sunday games, from finding the schedule to navigating potential flex scheduling.

1. The NFL Schedule Is Your Holy Grail

The official NFL schedule is the single source of truth for all game times. You can find it on the NFL's website (NFL.com), the Eagles' official website (PhiladelphiaEagles.com), and major sports networks like ESPN and CBS Sports. These sites will list the date, time (Eastern Time, unless otherwise noted), opponent, and broadcast network for each game.

2. Preseason vs. Regular Season vs. Playoffs: Times Vary

Keep in mind that preseason, regular season, and playoff game times differ. Preseason games often have more varied kick-off times, while regular season games typically fall into established Sunday slots. Postseason games, especially later in the playoffs, are highly coveted and often scheduled in primetime.

3. Standard Sunday Kick-Off Times: The Usual Suspects

During the regular season, most Eagles Sunday games will fall into one of three time slots: 1:00 PM ET, 4:05 PM ET, or 4:25 PM ET. These are the standard times for Sunday afternoon games. While the Eagles can play in any of these slots, their popularity often leads to more games in the later afternoon window.

4. Primetime Games: Sunday Night Football (SNF) and More

The Eagles are a marquee team, which means they're often featured in primetime games. Look out for appearances on *Sunday Night Football* (NBC), *Monday Night Football* (ESPN), and *Thursday Night Football* (Amazon Prime Video). These games will have later start times, usually 8:15 PM ET for SNF and MNF, and 8:20 PM ET for TNF.

5. Bye Week Blues: No Eagles Action on Sunday

Every team gets a bye week during the season, and this means no Eagles game that Sunday. The official NFL schedule will clearly indicate the Eagles' bye week, so you can plan accordingly – perhaps a relaxing Sunday without the nail-biting anxiety of watching your team.

6. Flex Scheduling: Be Prepared for Changes

Starting in Week 5, the NFL implements "flex scheduling" for Sunday Night Football. This means the NFL can move a more compelling game into the Sunday night slot, potentially shifting the Eagles' game time. Stay vigilant as the season progresses, as flex scheduling can impact your viewing plans.

7. Local Broadcasts: Tune in to Philly Channels

Even if the game is nationally televised, local affiliates will often carry the broadcast in the Philadelphia area. This means you can usually catch the game on your local CBS or FOX station, depending on which network has the rights to the game. This is helpful if you don't have cable or a streaming service.

8. Radio Broadcasts: Listen on the Go

If you're on the road or can't watch the game, you can still follow the action via radio broadcasts. WIP (94.1 FM) is the flagship radio station for the Eagles and provides play-by-play coverage. This is a great option for staying connected while you're running errands or at a family gathering.

9. Streaming Options: For the Modern Fan

Numerous streaming services offer access to NFL games. NFL+, Paramount+ (for CBS games), and Peacock (for NBC games) are all options. Consider a streaming service that includes live local channels to ensure you can catch all the Eagles games. YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV are also viable options.

10. Social Media and News Alerts: Stay Updated in Real-Time

Follow the Eagles' official social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and major sports news outlets for the latest updates, including any schedule changes or game-day announcements. Setting up news alerts on your phone can also help you stay informed about any last-minute adjustments to the game schedule.

By keeping these tips in mind, you'll be well-prepared to catch every Eagles game on Sunday, no matter the time or circumstances. Fly, Eagles, Fly!
