Bengals, Ravens, and Rams highlight the list of Eagles’ 2024 opponents

The Eagles’ second-place finish in the NFC East will still give Nick Sirianni’s team what feels like first-place competition in 2024.

With the final regular season Sunday of the year complete, Philadelphia’s 2024 opponents are set, and it’ll be one of the league’s most demanding schedules.

The official schedule with dates and times won’t be revealed until spring, but it is never too early to start planning trips and predict outcomes.
