The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders are set to face off in a crucial Week 8 NFC East showdown on Sunday Night Football, November 1, 2026. The game, scheduled to kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET, will be held at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. For fans without cable, the game can be streamed for free via a five-day trial of DIRECTV's live TV streaming service.
The Commanders, currently holding a 1-4-1 record, have an opportunity to move out of last place in the NFC East with a victory. DraftKings and FanDuel have Washington favored by 5.5 to 6 points, partly due to injuries impacting the Eagles' roster. Quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season, and running back Saquon Barkley is dealing with a hamstring strain.
Despite potential absences for Washington, such as wide receiver Terry McLaurin, the team's offense may see increased opportunities for players like Stefon Diggs, Antonio Williams, and Chig Okonkwo. The Commanders enter the game well-rested after a bye week, while the Eagles are coming off a Monday Night Football appearance.
The broadcast will be available on NBC.
