What Time Will The Philadelphia Eagles Play Today |
But Seriously, When Do the Eagles Play?
The good news: football season will be here before you know it. The bad news: you gotta wait a bit longer for that sweet taste of victory (or, you know, watching Jalen Hurts scramble for a first down).
The Eagles' first pre-season game kicks off on Friday, August 9th, at 7:30 PM EDT. Mark your calendars, set those DVRs, and get ready to dust off your knowledge of obscure Eagles trivia to impress your fellow fans.

While we wait for the pads to be strapped on, here are a few interesting tidbits to hold you over:
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
- Did you know the Eagles mascot, Swoop, once got into a legal battle with a chicken sandwich chain? (It's a long story, but trust me, it's worth a Google search.)
- The Liberty Bell might be cracked, but the Eagles' fight song, "Fly, Eagles, Fly," is a total banger. Get those lyrics memorized for the upcoming season!
- Donovan McNabb. Reggie White. Brian Dawkins. Just saying some names to get you pumped for the glory days (and hopefully some new ones to come).
How To Get Your Football Fix Before August?
Here are some ideas to keep that pigskin spirit alive:
