Jalen Hurts and Trevor Lawrence are set for another meeting, and this time the stage is London.
Seven-plus years after their national championship showdown, the two quarterbacks will square off again when the Eagles and Jaguars meet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Week 5 of the 2026 NFL season. Hurts has already taken the edge in the NFL, winning both of their pro matchups, but Jacksonville arrives overseas with momentum and Philadelphia is trying to steady itself after a rough stretch.
The Eagles enter the game carrying a thick injury report. Devonta Smith, Saquon Barkley, Quinyon Mitchell and Dallas Goedert are among the players Philadelphia is monitoring, and the offensive line is also in flux after Lane Johnson’s mid-season retirement and Cam Jurgens’ trade to Baltimore. Nick Sirianni’s team is heading into London short-handed and coming off a collapse against the Rams last week.
Jacksonville, on the other hand, has been one of the AFC’s brightest spots through the opening month. The Jaguars are 3-1, Lawrence has thrown for 843 yards and eight touchdowns, and Bhayshul Tuten has given the offense another threat with 277 rushing yards and two scores. On the other side of the ball, the Jaguars’ defense has been stingy, ranking second in the league in points allowed per game at 13.3.
A win here would shape the picture for both teams in a big way.
The game kicks off Sunday, Oct. 11 at 9:30 a.m. ET, which is 2:30 p.m. local time in London.
NFL Network will carry the broadcast, with Dave Pasch on play-by-play, Kurt Warner as analyst and Jason Kelce as analyst. Fubo also has the stream available, including a free trial for new users.
Eagles vs. Jaguars is the fourth game on the NFL’s 2026 international schedule.
The league has already played games in Australia, Brazil and London, with more international stops still to come. After this one, the Jaguars remain part of the overseas slate again in Week 6 against the Texans.
The rest of the NFL’s international schedule includes Steelers-Saints in Paris, Bengals-Falcons in Madrid, Patriots-Lions in Munich and Vikings-49ers in Mexico City.

Nick Saban Sends Strong Message As Pressure Builds On Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts heads into a Week 5 road test in Jacksonville with the Eagles short on the kinds of help a quarterback usually leans on. DaVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley are out, and Hurts has also been navigating a battered offensive line, leaving Philadelphia to ask its quarterback to keep the offense moving through another stretch of uncertainty.
Amid the pressure, former coach Nick Saban offered a reminder of why Hurts has long drawn praise for more than just his play. Saban highlighted Hurts character and resilience, framing the quarterback as someone who has already lived through adversity and responded the right way, a message that lands differently with the Eagles facing another game where the margin for error feels thin.

Eagles Head Into London Severely Shorthanded Before Jaguars Kickoff
The Eagles are heading into their London matchup against the Jaguars with a much thinner margin for error than usual, and the Week 5 inactive list made that clear. Philadelphia has already had to shuffle around its offense because of injuries, and now the depth chart is going to be tested again with backups such as Will Shipley at running back and Jake Majors at center expected to shoulder larger roles.
Jonathan Greenard is among the players unavailable, leaving him out because of an ankle injury and sidelined for a third game this season. He is joined on the inactive list by Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown, a collection of absences that leaves the Eagles piecing together a game plan with far less firepower than they would normally expect in a matchup that already comes with the added challenge of travel.

Eagles Head To London With A Problem They Can't Keep Hiding
The Eagles arrive in London with more than a cross-Atlantic trip on their hands. A matchup with the Jaguars now comes against a backdrop of roster strain, with Philadelphia trying to steady itself after a week that has thinned out key parts of the offense and put added pressure on a group that usually sets the tone for everything else.
Philadelphias line already had little margin for error, and the timing of the latest changes only makes the challenge sharper overseas. With Jacksonville carrying a 3-1 record and a strong statistical profile, the betting market is leaning toward the Jaguars, and the specific matchups up front could go a long way toward determining whether the Eagles can keep this from turning into a much bigger early-season problem.
