The 2020 season is the Philadelphia Eagles' 88th in the National Football League and their fifth under head coach Doug Pederson. They will attempt to improve on their 9–7 record in the previous season and return to the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.

On July 14, 2020, the city of Philadelphia placed a ban on large events for six months, meaning that the Eagles' home games will have no fans in attendance. On July 15, 2020, Mayor Jim Kenney clarified that fan attendance will depend on the COVID-19 pandemic in Pennsylvania.

Notes

• The Eagles currently do not have a selection in the seventh round. The Eagles acquired one additional seventh-round selection, along with wide receiver DeSean Jackson, in a trade that sent their 2019 sixth-round selection to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the Eagles made trades with the Atlanta Falcons and the New England Patriots involving both their own seventh-round selection and the one acquired from the Buccaneers.
• The Eagles acquired an additional fifth-round selection in a trade that sent one of their seventh-round selections and defensive end Michael Bennett to the Patriots.
• The Eagles acquired an additional sixth-round selection, along with linebacker Duke Riley, in a trade that sent one of their seventh-round selections and safety Johnathan Cyprien to the Falcons.
• The Eagles traded a sixth-round selection to the Chicago Bears in exchange for running back Jordan Howard.
• As the result of the negative differential of free agent signings and departures that the Eagles experienced during the first wave of the 2019 free agency period, the team is projected to receive two compensatory selections for the 2020 draft. Free agent transactions that occurred after May 7, 2019 did not factor into the team's formula for determining compensatory selections.
• The Eagles traded a third-round and fifth-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft to the Detroit Lions for cornerback Darius Slay.
