Philadelphia Eagles 2026 Uniform Schedule: When Kelly Green and the Black Alternate Come Out

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 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

Nine home games, eight on the road, and a Week 10 bye.

The Eagles had not announced their Kelly Green or black-alternate dates for 2026 at the time of writing, so no alternate games are marked on the grid. Midnight green at home and white on the road is the base rotation; the alternate games will replace three or four of the midnight-green home weeks once Philadelphia confirms them. We will update this page the day they do.

Kelly Green (Expected 3 Games, Dates Not Yet Announced)

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 coloured 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.

Applying that to the 2026 schedule, these are the live candidates:

• Week 12 at Cowboys, Thursday, November 26. The Thanksgiving game, and a direct repeat of the 2025 fixture they chose last year. The white-at-home rule makes it possible, and it is the biggest audience the Eagles will play in front of all season.
• Week 7 vs. Cowboys, Monday, October 26. A Monday-night home game against Dallas, the other half of the same rivalry.
• Week 9 vs. Giants, November 8. A daytime home divisional game, the exact profile of one of the 2025 wearings.

Treat those as our read, not as news. What is worth saying plainly is that Kelly Green is a better uniform than the midnight green primary, and the gap is wide enough that three games a year feels like a mistake the Eagles are making on purpose.

The Black Alternate (Expected 1 Game)

Philadelphia wore the black alternate once in 2025, on Black Friday, and the league allows up to four alternate wearings a season. There is no announced 2026 date. The schedule offers one obvious hook: Week 16 against Houston on Thursday, December 24, a Christmas Eve game that is the closest thing 2026 has to the holiday-night slot the blacks have occupied before.

The black set is 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 that people genuinely love.

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 colour 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 12 at Dallas on Thursday, November 26 is the Thanksgiving game, and it is the one road date where Philadelphia can choose a coloured jersey instead, because Dallas wears white at home. They took that option in 2025. Week 3 at Chicago on September 28 is a road trip into a building that will have its own new Rivalries uniform this season.
