Eagles-49ers Wild Card kicks off at 4:30, full Wild Card Weekend schedule revealed

The NFL playoffs are here, and so is one of the best parts of being a football fan: the announcement of postseason timeslots.

Wild Card weekend is approaching and is filled with great matchups. But most importantly, the three-seeded Eagles will host the No. 6 seed San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field on the best time slot of the weekend: Sunday, January 11, at 4:30 p.m. ET on FOX.

If the Eagles win, they will know their opponent the night before they play. Packers-Bears is the Saturday night game. The Eagles will either host Green Bay or travel to Chicago for the Divisional Round.

This is the first Eagles-49ers matchup since 2023, where San Francisco came into the Linc and annihilated the Eagles in the highly anticipated matchup, 42-19. The two teams have met in the playoffs three times, the most recent being the 2023 NFC Championship Game at the Linc, where the complete opposite happened — the Eagles annihilated the 49ers 31-7, advancing to Super Bowl LVII.

The Eagles opened as 2.5-point favorites, but the line quickly moved to 3.5 in favor of Philadelphia.

Here is the full Wild Card Weekend schedule:

Saturday
- 4:30 ET: 6 Rams- 4 Panthers (FOX)
- 8:00 ET: 7 Packers-2 Bears (Prime Video)
Sunday
- 1:00 ET: 6 Bills-3 Jaguars (CBS)
- 4:30 ET: 6 49ers-3 Eagles (FOX)
- 8:15 ET: 7 Chargers-2 Patriots (NBC)
Monday
