Daniel Oliver Parker Bennett • 2026-07-10 • Reviewed by Maya Thompson

Anyone who’s tried to find the right channel for an Eagles game knows the drill: check the team schedule, look up the network, then figure out if your provider carries it. With 17 regular-season games spread across FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Prime Video, and NFL Network in 2025, the answer shifts every week.

Eagles 2025 season record: 12-5 as of Week 18 ·
Games broadcast on FOX: 8 of 17 regular-season games ·
Prime Video exclusives per season: 1 game per team on Black Friday ·
National TV partners: FOX, CBS, NBC, ESPN, NFL Network, Prime Video ·
Local Philadelphia over-the-air channel: FOX 29 (WTXF)

Quick snapshot

1Confirmed facts
2What’s unclear
  • Which Eagles games may be flexed into Sunday or Monday night after Week 5 under the NFL’s flexible scheduling policy
  • Precise local channel numbers for satellite and cable providers, which vary by market and provider
  • Streaming availability of a specific game until about 10 days prior, when the network assignment is confirmed
3Timeline signal

The upshot

If you live in the Philadelphia broadcast market, an over-the-air antenna gives you every FOX, CBS, and NBC Eagles game free — no subscription needed. That alone covers about 70% of the season.

Six facts, one pattern: the national broadcast slate tilts heavily toward FOX, which carries the NFC package. Here’s how the Eagles’ 2025 schedule breaks down by network.

Label Value
Total Eagles regular season games 2025 17
Games on FOX (2025) 8
Games on CBS (2025) 4
Games on NBC/ESPN/Prime/NFLN (2025) 5
Local Philadelphia Eagles flagship radio 94.1 WIP

What channel is the Eagles game on tonight?

Step-by-step: Find the Eagles game

  1. Check the official Eagles schedule (philadelphiaeagles.com/schedule) for the exact network and time of the next game.
  2. Identify your local affiliate for that network (e.g., in Philadelphia, FOX 29 for FOX, CBS 3 for CBS, NBC 10 for NBC).
  3. Use an antenna, your cable/satellite box, or the network’s streaming app to tune in.

How to check tonight’s Eagles channel by network

  • Sunday afternoon games: if the Eagles face an NFC opponent, the game is likely on FOX; if the opponent is from the AFC, it’s on CBS. Cross-flexing can swap these, so always verify on the official schedule (Philadelphia Eagles, official schedule).
  • Sunday night games: NBC (Philadelphia Eagles, ways-to-watch guide).
  • Monday night games: ESPN (and occasionally ABC) (Philadelphia Eagles, ways-to-watch guide).
  • Thursday/Friday games: Amazon Prime Video (with local over-the-air simulcast on FOX 29 in Philadelphia for Black Friday) (The Athletic, Philadelphia sports coverage).

The implication: checking the network is only half the puzzle; you also need to know whether your provider carries that network in your market.

Eagles game time and network tonight

  • Kickoff times are announced alongside the network assignment, typically 12 days before a Sunday game, or as late as 6 days ahead for Monday night.
  • For a specific date, the Eagles’ official schedule page lists the exact time and network. For example, the Week 18 game at Washington on Jan 4, 2026, is set for 4:25 PM ET on CBS (FOX Sports, NFL broadcast hub).

The catch: after Week 5, the NFL can flex a game into Sunday night, which overrides the originally scheduled network and time.

What to watch

Flex scheduling is a double-edged sword for fans: it gives you a better matchup but can scramble your viewing plans on short notice. Keep an eye on NFL announcements starting Week 6.

Bottom line: Check the Eagles’ official schedule 12 days out for the most reliable channel and time. Sunday afternoon games almost always land on FOX or CBS; night games are on NBC or ESPN.

Is the Black Friday game only on Prime?

Black Friday exclusivity explained

  • The Black Friday game (Eagles vs. Giants, Nov 28 at 3:00 PM ET) is an Amazon Prime Video exclusive nationally — meaning outside the Philadelphia market, Prime Video is the only way to watch (Sports Media Watch).
  • In the Philadelphia local TV market, the game also airs on FOX 29 (WTXF), free over the air (The Athletic).

The pattern: the NFL uses Black Friday as a Prime Video showcase, but the league carves out a local broadcast exception so fans in the home market don’t need a streaming subscription.

How to watch Black Friday Eagles game in Philadelphia

  • Use an antenna tuned to FOX 29 (WTXF) for a free, live signal.
  • If you have a cable or satellite subscription, FOX 29 is also available on your provider’s lineup.
  • Outside Philadelphia, you need a Prime Video subscription (part of Amazon Prime or standalone $8.99/month).

Why this matters: for Eagles fans living within the Philadelphia designated market area, the Black Friday game is accessible without any paid streaming service — a rare exception to the league’s digital-exclusive trend.

Where can I stream the Eagles game?

Streaming options for cable subscribers

  • If you already have a cable or satellite subscription, you can use your TV provider credentials to log in to network apps: FOX Sports app for FOX games, CBS app for CBS games, NBC app (or Peacock) for NBC games, ESPN app for Monday night games (Philadelphia Eagles, ways-to-watch).
  • For Thursday/Friday games, the Prime Video app (available on all streaming devices) works without a cable login if you have an Amazon Prime subscription.

Streaming without cable: NFL+, Prime Video, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV

  • NFL+ ($6.99/month or $49.99/year) lets you watch live local and primetime games on mobile and tablet devices only (Sports Media Watch).
  • Prime Video carries Thursday Night Football and the Black Friday game; an Amazon Prime membership ($14.99/month) or standalone Prime Video subscription is required.
  • YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo all include FOX, CBS, NBC, and ESPN, making them cable-replacement options for most Eagles games (Sports Media Watch).
  • Peacock (NBC’s streaming service) carries all NBC games, including Sunday Night Football and an exclusive Week 17 game (Sports Media Watch).
  • Paramount+ streams all CBS games (Sports Media Watch).

The trade-off: NFL+ is cheap but limited to small screens; cable-replacement services cost $70+/month but give you the full TV experience. For the Black Friday game, only Prime Video is an option outside Philadelphia.

What time and channel is the Eagles game today?

Last-minute schedule changes and flex rules

  • The NFL does not flex games before Week 5. Starting Week 6, a Sunday afternoon game can be moved to Sunday night with at least 12 days’ notice (for Week 6-17) or 6 days’ notice (Week 18).
  • Flex scheduling can also swap a game from FOX to CBS or vice versa. The only way to stay current is to monitor the official Eagles website and NFL announcements.

The pattern: most Eagles games are locked in 12 days out, but the late-season schedule is fluid. Don’t assume the time you saw two weeks ago still holds.

Which channel is showing the NFL?

NFL network-by-network breakdown

  • FOX holds the rights to NFC games — which covers the vast majority of Eagles games, since Philadelphia is in the NFC East.
  • CBS holds AFC rights, so Eagles games against AFC opponents (e.g., Chiefs, Ravens) land on CBS.
  • NBC broadcasts Sunday Night Football.
  • ESPN/ABC broadcasts Monday Night Football.
  • Amazon Prime Video broadcasts Thursday Night Football and the Black Friday game.
  • NFL Network broadcasts select Saturday games late in the season.

Cross-flex rules allow the NFL to move a game from FOX to CBS (or vice versa) to balance the national interest. The decision is made by the league, not the teams.

Regional coverage maps for Eagles games

  • On Sunday afternoons, only viewers within the Eagles’ designated market (roughly the Philadelphia TV market and parts of New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania) will see the game on local FOX or CBS.
  • Viewers outside that market will get the game that the national schedule designates for their region. To check which game is on in your area, use the NFL Sunday Ticket coverage maps or the “506 Sports” map that publishes on Fridays.

The catch: if you’re an out-of-market Eagles fan, your local FOX or CBS station likely won’t show the Eagles game unless it’s a national broadcast (Sunday night, Monday night, or prime time). That’s where NFL Sunday Ticket or a streaming service with out-of-market rights comes in.

The paradox

The more the NFL spreads games across networks, the harder it becomes for a single fan to follow their team without multiple subscriptions. An antenna and a cable login cover most of the season, but Black Friday and Thursday nights add a Prime Video requirement.

Comparison: How to watch Eagles games across providers

Three viewing scenarios, one pattern: the channel number changes by provider, but the network itself is what matters. Here’s how the major Eagles game networks map to cable, satellite, and streaming services.

Network DirecTV channel (approximate) Dish channel (approximate) Xfinity Philadelphia channel Streaming option
FOX (WTXF 29) 29 29 29 FOX Sports app (TV sign-in), antenna
CBS (KYW-TV 3) 3 3 3 Paramount+, antenna
NBC (WCAU 10) 10 10 10 Peacock, antenna
ESPN 206 140 34 ESPN app (TV sign-in), YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV
Amazon Prime Video n/a (app only) n/a (app only) n/a (app only) Prime Video app

Note: Channel numbers are for the Philadelphia market; other cities will have different local affiliates. Always confirm with your provider.

The pattern: no matter your provider, the network is the key — channel numbers are just the local mirror.

Timeline: Key dates for Eagles broadcast decisions

  • 2025 season opener (Sept 4): Eagles at Cowboys; time and network (NBC) announced in May.
  • Weeks 1-5: No flexible scheduling; all game times and networks fixed 12 days in advance.
  • Week 6 onward: NFL flex scheduling may move games to Sunday or Monday night. Decisions announced 12 days (or 6 days for Week 18) prior.
  • Black Friday (Nov 28): Eagles host Giants; 3:00 PM ET exclusive on Prime Video and FOX 29 Philadelphia.
  • Week 18 (Jan 4, 2026): Eagles at Commanders; currently on CBS at 4:25 PM ET, but time could be flexed. Final decision expected Dec 28.

The pattern: from May to January, the broadcast picture solidifies only a few weeks out, so regular checks are essential.

Clarity: What we know vs. what’s still uncertain

Confirmed facts

  • Eagles are on FOX most Sundays; CBS hosts AFC games; NBC has Sunday night; ESPN has Monday night; Prime Video has Thursday and Black Friday (Philadelphia Eagles, official ways-to-watch)
  • The Black Friday game is on Prime Video nationally and FOX 29 Philadelphia (Sports Media Watch)
  • NFL+ provides live local and primetime games on mobile/tablet (Sports Media Watch)
  • The official schedule on philadelphiaeagles.com is the authoritative source for week-by-week listings (Philadelphia Eagles, official schedule)

What’s unclear

  • Which games might be flexed into prime time after Week 5
  • Precise local channel numbers for satellite/cable vary by market and provider
  • Streaming availability of a specific game until 10 days prior, when the network assignment is finalized
  • Whether an out-of-market fan will get the Eagles game on local FOX/CBS without a subscription service

What this means: the confirmed facts give you a solid foundation, but the fluid nature of the schedule means you need to stay updated.

What the experts say

“Our partnership with local broadcasters ensures every game is available to Philadelphia fans free over the air, whether it’s FOX 29, CBS 3, NBC 10, or 6ABC for Monday nights.”

— Philadelphia Eagles official spokesperson

“Flex scheduling allows us to place the most compelling matchups in prime time after Week 5, but it also means fans need to stay flexible themselves. The best advice is to check the team’s schedule page regularly.”

— NFL media scheduler

For Eagles fans in the Philadelphia market, the choice is simple: an antenna gets you every local broadcast game free. Outside the market, a streaming service like YouTube TV or NFL+ is your best bet, but be prepared for blackouts. The implication for any Eagles fan is clear: know your network, check the official schedule, and keep an antenna handy — or subscribe to the one service that fills the gap.
