Where to Watch the Eagles Home Opener 2026: Top Philly & South Jersey Sports Bars
The wait is over: the Eagles open their 2026 season at home against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, September 13, with kickoff at 4:25 PM ET on FOX. It's a Lincoln Financial Field matchup and a division rivalry to boot, which means the city and its bars will be loud all afternoon. If you're not headed to the Linc, here's where to catch the game around Philadelphia and South Jersey.
Philadelphia
Chickie's & Pete's (multiple locations, including South Philly): The self-proclaimed official sports bar of the Eagles, and the Crabfries alone are worth the trip. Expect a packed house on any Sunday, let alone a home opener.
Stateside Live! (1100 Pattison Avenue): Steps from the stadium, with a 58-foot LED screen inside and a 24-foot screen outdoors. Head to the venue early for the Green Legion Home Opener Tailgate. Reservations are recommended.
Cavanaugh's Rittenhouse (1921 Sansom Street): Two floors, 24 TVs, and an 11-foot media wall, plus five-can beer buckets if you're settling in for the long haul.
Craft Hall (Northern Liberties): A 35,000-square-foot former warehouse with a massive video wall. Family-friendly, with a playground and games if you're bringing kids along.
Frankford Hall (Fishtown):A German beer garden with outdoor seating and fire pits. This is a good pick if the weather's nice and you want fresh air with your football..
McGillin's Olde Ale House (Midtown Village): Philly's oldest continuously operating tavern, running an Eagles Super Mug special with $2 Bud Light refills all season.
Sports & Social at Live! Casino (900 Packer Avenue): A 52-foot screen and 24 more TVs, with drink specials and giveaways on game day.
South Jersey
Kaminski's (Cherry Hill): Locally owned for more than 50 years, with 30+ TVs and a loyal Sunday crowd.
Chickie's & Pete's (Marlton): Same crab fries, same energy, closer to home if you're in Burlington County.
Miller's Ale House (Mt. Laurel): 60+ TVs and a deep draft list, good for larger groups.
P.J. Whelihan's (Cherry Hill and Maple Shade): A South Jersey staple for wings and Sundays with the Birds.
Charlie's (Somers Point): If you're closer to the shore, this is the locals' near-unanimous pick for big screens and a game-day crowd.
The Village Pub (Sewell and Swedesboro): Described by regulars as "a Philly sports bar through and through," for Gloucester County fans who don't want to drive north.
Watching from home
If you'd rather stay in, the game airs on FOX locally, and you can stream it through the Fox Sports app, NFL+, or a live-TV service like YouTube TV or Fubo that carries your local FOX affiliate.
Wherever you end up, it's a big one to open the season. Fly Eagles Fly!
