Washington Redskins 2018 Schedule: Green Bay, Atlanta Visit FedEx

ASHBURN, VA—The Washington Redskins' 2018 regular-season schedule begins Sept. 9 in the desert against the Arizona Cardinals and winds up at home against the defending NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles, who also happened to have gone on and won the Super Bowl. The home opener is Sept. 16 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Washington will spend Thanksgiving Day in Dallas after playing host to the Cowboys on Oct. 21. Six teams on the Redskins' schedule made the playoffs last season.
