The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Philadelphia Eagles in a Week 5 matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday.
The NFL returns to the United Kingdom for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 15th regular-season game in London as part of the league’s record nine international matchups in 2026. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with live coverage broadcast on the NFL Network and streamed via services like Fubo in the United States, Channel 5 in the United Kingdom, and DAZN internationally according to streaming guides.
Eagles Roster Shuffling and Injury Troubles Ahead of London Kickoff
Opting for a quick arrival, Nick Sirianni’s squad flew in a mere 36 hours prior to the London start, mirroring the approach taken by Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams ahead of their resounding Wembley victory over the Jaguars.
The Eagles face major personnel hurdles on the field. Having seen Dallas Goedert, Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith all sidelined by injuries that caused them to miss the majority of Week 4, the franchise also dealt with star offensive tackle Lane Johnson choosing to retire earlier this week in a turbulent week for the offensive line. Following a Wednesday trade that sent two-time Pro Bowler Cam Jurgens elsewhere, Philadelphia was left needing to patch two separate vacancies on its London offensive line. Today’s starting unit for the Eagles will feature Jordan Mailata at left tackle, followed by Willie Lampkin, Jake Majors, Tyler Sheen, and Markel Bell.
Having barely surpassed that mark during Week 1 with 203 passing yards, alongside averages of 193.5 yards per game in 2024 and 201.5 in 2025, Jalen Hurts enters this matchup without a history of routinely hitting the 250-yard threshold within a Philly offense currently ranking 29th across the NFL in 2026 EPA/Play.
Jaguars Bring Health and an MVP-Caliber Trevor Lawrence to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
At 3-1, the Jaguars are firmly in the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is putting together an efficient campaign, coming off a performance where he completed 18 of 23 passes for 227 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions against Cincinnati last week to emerge as a central MVP candidate. This weekend marks the 15th appearance for the franchise in London, where they will additionally stay put to face the Houston Texans in Week 6. Jacksonville is 7-7 all-time in London.
Jacksonville’s defense has anchored its hot start, having forced eight turnovers while committing just two, leading the NFL with a plus-six turnover differential. With a total of 39 takeaways since 2025, Jacksonville shares the top spot in the league in that category, while its eight turnovers forced this season place it right behind Las Vegas, which has nine.
Historical Matchup Context and Betting Markets
That was Barkley’s reverse-hurdle game. However, oddsmakers positioned the Jaguars as 7.5-point favorites for Sunday’s London showdown due to the Eagles’ extensive injury report and Jacksonville’s strong opening quarter of the season, with moneyline odds showing Jacksonville at -386 and Philadelphia at +304.
