Catching the Local Birds: Philly Fanatics
Living in the Philly area? You're in luck! Here's your cheat sheet:
- FOX & CBS: These are your go-to channels for most Eagles Sunday afternoon games. Fire up the antenna, dust off the bunny ears (or, you know, use cable/satellite), and get ready for some Merrill Reese commentary magic.
- NBC & ESPN: Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football might feature the Eagles if they're playing a primetime game. Stock up on snacks and get comfy for a night of cheering (or yelling at the refs, we all know how it goes).

Tailgate Tourist Tip: Heading to an away game? Check out the local sports bar scene. You'll find fellow Eagles fans (and maybe some friendly trash talk from the opposing team's supporters).
Cutting the Cord? No Problem, Birds Still Sing
If you're rocking the streaming life, there are options:
