No alternate jersey in the NFL generates the reaction Kelly Green does, and the Eagles know it, which is why they ration it to about three games a year. For 2026 the closet is midnight green at home, white on the road, Kelly Green for a small number of showcase dates, and the black alternate for one. The first Kelly Green date is now official: Week 9 against the Giants on November 8, with New York in its Vintage White throwback. The wordmark got a subtle update this year too. Here is the Eagles 2026 uniform schedule week by week, plus the games the Kelly Greens are most likely to land on.

The Full 2026 Eagles Uniform Schedule, Week by Week
Week 1 combination, as announced for game week: green helmet, green jersey, white pants. Combinations are compiled from the teams' own game-week posts, and the tracker logs what is actually worn once the game is played.
Their Week 1 opponent: the Washington Commanders 2026 uniform schedule has the other side of this matchup, and the 2026 NFL uniform tracker logs what both teams actually wear once it is played.
Nine home games, eight on the road, and a Week 10 bye.
All three alternate games are now confirmed: Kelly Green in Week 9 against the Giants and Week 16 against the Texans, and the black alternate in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Philadelphia announced the full set on September 4. Everything else is midnight green at home and white on the road.
Kelly Green (Weeks 9 and 16, Confirmed)
The first date is official. Philadelphia wears Kelly Green for Week 9 against the New York Giants on Sunday, November 8 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern at Lincoln Financial Field, announced on September 2 with the line "Historic rivalry. Historic uniforms." The Giants confirmed the same morning that they wear their Vintage White throwback for it, so both clubs take the field in their 1980s looks. It is the best-dressed game on either team's calendar, and NFL Fashion Advice's reaction to the two graphics side by side says it for everyone.
Our Giants 2026 uniform schedule has New York's side of it, including the second Vintage White game four days later.
The 1990s throwback came back in 2023 and has been the most talked-about alternate in football since. Philadelphia has settled into three wearings a season, and the club's own 2025 announcement is the useful precedent: all three were NFC East games, and one of them was on the road at Dallas, which the Eagles noted was the first road wearing since the jerseys returned in 2023. The other two were home games against the Giants and the Commanders.
That road game matters more than it looks. A visiting team can only wear a colored jersey if the home team wears white, and Dallas is the one club in the league that wears white at home by tradition. So a trip to AT&T Stadium is the rare road date where Kelly Green is actually available to Philadelphia.
The second date is now official too. Philadelphia wears Kelly Green again for Week 16 against the Houston Texans on Thursday, December 24, a Christmas Eve home game, confirmed by the club on September 4.
That is two wearings rather than the three Philadelphia has settled into recently, and the pair the club chose is telling. Both are home games, both are against opponents who wear white on the road, and one of them is a standalone Thursday night in front of a national Christmas Eve audience. The Eagles did not spend Kelly Green on the Thanksgiving trip to Dallas, which was our read and which the white-at-home rule would have permitted. They kept it at the Linc both times.
Worth saying plainly: Kelly Green is a better uniform than the midnight green primary, and the gap is wide enough that two wearings still feels like rationing.
The Black Alternate (Week 15, Confirmed)
Philadelphia wears the all-black set, black jersey with the black helmet, for Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, December 19. That is the club's one black game of 2026, confirmed alongside the Kelly Green dates on September 4.
We had this one wrong. Our read was that the black set would land on Christmas Eve against Houston, since a Thursday night in late December is exactly the stage a club picks for it. The Eagles went the other way: Kelly Green on Christmas Eve, black the week before against Seattle.
The black set is still the weakest thing the Eagles own. It is not badly made, it just has nothing to do with Philadelphia, and it competes for wearings with a throwback people genuinely love. Pairing it with the black helmet at least commits to the idea rather than hedging.
Midnight Green (The Home Base)
The midnight green primary carries the rest of the home schedule, which as things stand is all nine home dates until the alternates claim their share. That includes the Week 1 opener against Washington, the Week 4 visit from the Rams, Carolina in Week 6, Pittsburgh in Week 11, and a December run of Indianapolis, Seattle and Houston.
Midnight green is a genuinely unusual color and the Eagles deserve credit for sticking with it, but the current set leans hard on the black trim and the result reads darker and heavier than it needs to. The 2026 change is small: an updated wordmark on the jersey, not a redesign.
The White Road Set (8 Games)
White jersey, midnight green pants or white pants depending on the week, for all eight road games, with one likely exception.
Week 2 at Tennessee is confirmed as white on white: the midnight green helmet with the white jersey and white pants, in Nashville on Sunday, September 20 at 1:00 Eastern. Tennessee is in its new light blue jersey with white pants, so this is color against white with the two helmets doing the separating. Week 12 at Dallas on Thursday, November 26 is the Thanksgiving game, and it is the one road date where Philadelphia can choose a colored jersey instead, because Dallas wears white at home. They took that option in 2025. Week 3 at Chicago on Monday, September 28 was confirmed and worn: midnight green helmet, white jersey, midnight green pants and white socks on Monday Night Football, the first time the green pants have come out this season, against the Bears in navy over white. Chicago will have its own new Rivalries uniform later this season. Week 8 at Washington on Sunday Night Football, November 1, is confirmed: midnight green helmet, white jersey, midnight green pants and white socks, from the team's "Sunday night threads" post on October 29. Washington is in burgundy over gold pants.
