Kickoff is set for 8:20 PM ET at Lincoln Financial Field with U.S. coverage on NBC and Peacock, and broadcasts in Mexico on Canal 9, TUDN, ESPN and Disney+. Major sportsbooks list Philadelphia as the favorite for the opener, with multiple reports citing a spread around Eagles -8.5. Philadelphia begins its title defense after a 40-22 Super Bowl LIX win over Kansas City in February, when Jalen Hurts was named MVP. Sirianni highlighted the Eagles' identity in pregame comments and said neither players nor staff would attend the banner unveiling. Media reports differ on the historical series totals between the teams, noting a discrepancy rather than a definitive tally.
