The Eagles have a 2-0 record abroad, including their 24-18 victory over the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium in 2018 and their 34-29 win vs. the Green Bay Packers in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2024.
This will be the ninth meeting between the Eagles and the Jaguars, dating back to 1997, two years after Jacksonville’s inaugural season. The Eagles have a 5-3 lead in their head-to-head series, including five consecutive wins since 2010.
The Eagles last played the Jaguars at home in 2024, a game they won, 28-23. That contest provided one of the iconic plays of the Super Bowl season, when Saquon Barkley reverse hurdled a Jaguars defender in the second quarter.
Since the Jaguars last faced the Eagles, the team has hired a new head coach in Liam Coen and general manager in James Gladstone, both of whom assumed their posts last season. Under new leadership in 2025, the Jaguars finished 13-4, which led the AFC South and was the second-best record in franchise history. The Jaguars made the playoffs for the first time since 2022 and lost, 27-24, to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round.

The Eagles and Jaguars have a few notable connections. Sean Mannion, the Eagles’ new offensive coordinator, was teammates with Jaguars backup quarterback Nick Mullens in 2023 with the Minnesota Vikings. Mannion was coached by Jaguars passing game coordinator Shane Waldron when he was with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 (also as passing game coordinator) and the Seattle Seahawks from 2022-23 (as offensive coordinator).
Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski, a Doylestown native, also coached Mannion with the Vikings in 2023 (as assistant quarterbacks coach).
Tank Bigsby, the Eagles’ backup running back, was the Jaguars’ 2023 third-round pick out of Auburn. The Eagles acquired him from the Jaguars in September in exchange for 2026 fifth- and sixth-round picks (the Jaguars traded the fifth-rounder to the Carolina Panthers and used the sixth-rounder to take former Stanford wide receiver CJ Williams).
Johnny Mundt, a 31-year-old tight end whom the Eagles signed in March, spent last season with the Jaguars.
The league will release the full schedules for each of its clubs at 8 p.m. Thursday. Fox already announced a Thanksgiving matchup between the visiting Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys at 4:30 p.m. on its network.
Jeffrey Lurie has owned the Philadelphia Eagles, which he purchased in 1994, longer than his son, Julian, has been alive. But in recent years, the younger Lurie, heir to the franchise and now 31, has assumed a more pervasive and influential role in the organization. While the Eagles have made no secret about Julian’s increased involvement with the team, specifics about his role have been scant. In recent months, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane spoke to nearly two dozen sources on and off the record to gain a better understanding of not just who Julian Lurie is and what he does, but - most important of all - whether he’ll be ready to assume the reins as Eagles Chairman and CEO, whenever the time comes. Jeff shares the biggest takeaways from his reporting with Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski in this companion episode to Jeff’s feature article about the Eagles' succession plan. Listen here.
