====New York Giants====
{{Main|Eagles–Giants rivalry}}
The Eagles' rivalry with the [[New York Giants]] began in 1933 with the founding of the Eagles and slowly strengthened when both teams came to relative prominence in the 1940s and 1950s. The two teams have played in the same division in the NFL every year since 1933. The ferocity of the rivalry can also be attributed to the geographic [[New York City|New York]]–[[Philadelphia]] rivalry, which is mirrored in [[Major League Baseball]]'s [[Mets–Phillies rivalry|Mets–Phillies]] and the [[National Hockey League|NHL]]'s [[Flyers–Rangers rivalry|Flyers–Rangers]] and [[Flyers–Islanders rivalry|Flyers–Islanders]]. It is ranked by [[NFL Network]] as one of the greatest rivalries of all time,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d81876371/Top-10-rivalries|title=Top 10 rivalries|website=NFL.com|access-date=December 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191218094257/http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d81876371/Top-10-rivalries|archive-date=December 18, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> ''Sports Illustrated'' ranks it as the fourth best NFL rivalry of all time,<ref name="Giants-Eagles rivalry" /> and according to [[ESPN]], it is one of the fiercest and most well-known rivalries in the football community.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=3086647&type=Columnist&imagesPrint=off |title=Ranking the NFL's best rivalries: Where does Colts-Pats fit? |last=Chadiha |first=Jeffri |work=ESPN.com |date=October 31, 2007 |access-date=April 12, 2008 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121022184659/http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=3086647&type=Columnist&imagesPrint=off |archive-date=October 22, 2012}}</ref> As of the 2024 season, the Eagles lead the all-time series 96–89–2.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=phi&tm2=nyg&yr=all |access-date=August 4, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref>

====Washington Commanders====
{{Main|Commanders–Eagles rivalry}}
{{See also|Body Bag Game}}
While not as big as the rivalries with the Giants and Cowboys, the Eagles' historical rivalry with the [[Washington Commanders|Washington Redskins / Washington Football Team / Washington Commanders]] has still been fierce. Although the two franchises played in the same division in the Eagles' inaugural 1933 season, their first meeting did not take place until October 21, 1934, during Washington's first year under the Boston Redskins moniker; the Redskins defeated the Eagles 6–0 at [[Fenway Park]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Philadelphia Eagles at Boston Redskins - October 21st, 1934 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/193410210was.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> Washington currently leads the all-time series 90–87–6. Since 2010, the rivalry has been very even overall with the Eagles winning 19 of the last 31 matchups.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=phi&tm2=was&yr=all |access-date=August 4, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> The two teams met for the first time in the postseason in the [[2024 NFC Championship Game]], when the Eagles defeated the Commanders 55–23.

===Conference===
====Atlanta Falcons====
{{Main|Eagles–Falcons rivalry}}
The Eagles lead the [[Atlanta Falcons]] 21–16–1, with a 3–1 lead in playoff games.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=phi&tm2=atl&yr=all |access-date=August 4, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> The rivalry first emerged after the Falcons upset the Eagles in the [[1978–79 NFL playoffs#NFC: Atlanta Falcons 14, Philadelphia Eagles 13|1978 Wild Card Round]] 14–13,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wild Card - Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons - December 24th, 1978 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/197812240atl.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> and only intensified further during the 2000s thanks to the rivalry between prominent [[dual-threat quarterback]]s [[Donovan McNabb]] and [[Michael Vick]]. Recently, the Eagles' path to winning [[Super Bowl LII]] included a [[2017–18 NFL playoffs#NFC: Philadelphia Eagles 15, Atlanta Falcons 10|2017 divisional round]] victory over the Falcons.<ref>{{cite news|first=Dave|last=Choate|title=Falcons-Eagles rivalry history: Bitterness and bitter defeats abound over 31 games|url=https://www.thefalcoholic.com/2015/9/13/9312305/falcons-eagles-rivalry-history-bitterness-and-bitter-defeats-abound|publisher=[[SB Nation]]|date=September 13, 2015|access-date=December 8, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Kracz |first=Ed |date=May 12, 2021 |title=Eagles Open Season in Atlanta, Where There is Plenty of History with Falcons |url=https://www.si.com/nfl/eagles/news/eagles-open-season-in-atlanta-where-there-is-plenty-of-history-with-falcons |access-date=December 8, 2021 |publisher=[[Sports Illustrated]]}}</ref>

===Inter-conference===
====Pittsburgh Steelers====
{{Main|Eagles–Steelers rivalry}}
The Eagles and [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] are both located in [[Pennsylvania]] and began play in 1933.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Pittsburgh Pirates at Philadelphia Eagles - November 19th, 1933 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/193311190phi.htm |access-date=August 19, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref> From that season through 1966, this was a major rivalry for both teams, as both were part of the same division. In 1967 they were placed in separate divisions, but remained in the same conference for three years. In 1970 the Steelers (along with the [[Cleveland Browns]] and [[Baltimore Colts]]) moved to the [[American Football Conference]], while the Eagles stayed with the rest of the old-line NFL teams in the [[National Football Conference]]. As a result, the Eagles and Steelers no longer played each other every year; instead, they are scheduled to meet once every four years in the regular season. The most recent meeting was in 2024 at Lincoln Financial Field, with the Eagles winning 27–13. The Steelers have lost eleven straight games on the road against the Eagles dating back to 1966, which was also the start of the [[Super Bowl]] era. As of the 2024 season, the Eagles lead the all-time series 50–29–3.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, Philadelphia Eagles vs. Pittsburgh Steelers |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=phi&tm2=pit&yr=all |access-date=August 4, 2024 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] }}</ref>
