TIME CHANGE: Eagles vs. Commanders Game Under Weather Monitoring – Updated Game Information
As the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to face the Washington Commanders this Sunday, attention has shifted from the field to the skies. A winter weather system moving across the Mid-Atlantic is expected to impact the Philadelphia region during the final weekend of the regular season, placing one of Week 18’s NFC matchups under close monitoring.
According to the National Weather Service, the system is forecast to bring periods of rain, potential wintry mix, gusty winds, and sharply colder temperatures across eastern Pennsylvania and the surrounding region. Forecasters warn that changing conditions could affect travel, stadium operations, and fan attendance.

Meteorologists note that strong winds, slick roadways, and rapidly dropping temperatures could create logistical challenges surrounding the Eagles–Commanders game, scheduled to be played at Lincoln Financial Field. Fans traveling to the stadium are urged to monitor conditions closely and plan for possible delays.

While the NFL has not announced any official change, league officials are actively monitoring the situation. A short kickoff adjustment remains possible if weather conditions worsen, allowing flexibility to delay the start time slightly to ensure safety for players, staff, and fans.
