Tickets: Stay tuned to the Eagles’ site for announcements on single-game tickets

Flexible scheduling: NFL flex scheduling can occur from Week 5 through Week 18. The league can flex no more than two games into Sunday Night Football between Week 5 and Week 10.

Coronavirus pandemic considerations: The Eagles are among teams expecting to have full crowds this season. It remains to be seen if there will still be a mask mandate.

Formulaic scheduling: The NFL schedule follows a set pattern each year so we already have an idea of who the Eagles will play in future seasons. Six of the Eagles’ seventeen opponents will always be their NFC East rivals: the Cowboys, Giants, and Football Team. The Eagles will also play the entirety of one of the NFC Divisions. The NFC South is in the rotation for 2021, which means the Eagles will play against the Buccaneers, Saints, Panthers, and Falcons. Another four games come against an AFC division. This year, the Eagles will face the AFC West’s Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, and Broncos. Two games come against NFC teams that finished in the same spot in the divisional standings as the Eagles. Since the Eagles were last in their division in 2020, they will play the 49ers from the NFC West and the Lions from the NFC North. The remaining game is a new feature starting this year with the Eagles set to play the same finisher from the AFC East, the Jets.

Future opponents: Using this formula, here’s an early look at who the Eagles will play in the years to come.

2022: NFC North, AFC South, NFC South and NFC West and one AFC divisional finish, NFC East

2023: NFC West, AFC East, NFC North and NFC South and one AFC divisional finish, NFC East

2024: NFC South, AFC North, NFC West and NFC North and one AFC divisional finish, NFC East
