The Eagles know their opponents for the 2021 NFL season and per Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, the dates and times should be released sometime during the month of May.
Typically, the NFL schedule is released prior to the NFL draft, but the COVID-19 pandemic has ensured a late unveil for the second-straight year.
The Eagles will face the NFC South and AFC West, meaning Philadelphia’s rebuilt defense will face Tom Brady, Taysom Hill or Drew Brews, Patrick Mahomes, and Chargers rookie sensation, Justin Herbert among others.
The Eagles will play their six NFC East games along with the 49ers and Lions as well.
When the NFL officially expands the season to 17 games, the Eagles will face a familiar face in Joe Douglas and the New York Jets.
