The Philadelphia Eagles visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday, November 1, with kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. EST at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland. Sunday Night Football airs on NBC and streams on Peacock in the United States.

Pregame coverage begins at 7 p.m. EST with Football Night in America. That is the studio show’s start, not the game’s kickoff. NBC’s listing separates the two, giving viewers an hour and twenty minutes of buildup before the scheduled opening kick.

NFL+ offers the national primetime game on phones and tablets, including this Sunday night matchup. The league’s device restriction is significant: a mobile subscription does not establish the same live television access as an NBC channel or a supported Peacock application.

NFL+ Premium adds full and condensed game replays across supported devices. A replay is a separate viewing option after the action, rather than a substitute for the live NBC or Peacock feed. Check the selected plan when comparing those uses.

Mike Tirico handles play-by-play alongside analyst Cris Collinsworth. Melissa Stark is the sideline reporter, and Terry McAulay provides rules analysis. The pregame team listed by NBC includes Maria Taylor, Mike Tomlin, Jason Garrett, Devin McCourty and Mike Florio.

The Eagles’ official schedule identifies this as their second meeting with Washington. Philadelphia won the September 13 opener, 24-22. Tonight’s game moves to the Commanders’ home field.

Philadelphia’s official injury report lists receiver DeVonta Smith out with a hamstring injury. Running back Saquon Barkley has no game designation after limited Friday practice. Barkley’s clearance and Smith’s absence are distinct statuses; a limited practice alone does not mean a player is ruled out.

Peacock’s U.S. access notice states that a device must be physically in the United States to stream. These instructions therefore describe U.S. access. Viewers elsewhere need their country’s authorized NFL broadcaster; a U.S. listing does not establish international availability.
