The NFL season will likely be played as scheduled but we could be facing the first regular-season played without fans because of the risks surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the likelihood of fans not being in attendance, the Eagles are among teams around the league that have given fans the option of opting out of their season tickets for 2020 without losing their ticket privileges beyond this season.
According to NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles communicated the NFL’s refund policy in a previous letter to season ticket holders, deferring payments for this season.
“Previously, you had deferred your 2020 season ticket payment to July 1st. We do not plan to process this payment as scheduled and will communicate additional information regarding the 2020 season following the Fourth of July.”
The Eagles are scheduled to open the preseason on Aug. 13 in Indianapolis, with the first home preseason game scheduled for Aug. 27 against the Patriots. The NFL is currently weighing playing only two preseason games.
The regular-season home opener is Sept. 20 against the Rams.
