Eagles open practice: Time, details and how to follow along
Sunday's Eagles practice at the Linc is free and open to the public … as long as you already landed a ticket.
With just a little more than a month remaining until the Eagles kick off the NFL season on Sept. 6 against the Atlanta Falcons, the team will hold the first of two practices at Lincoln Financial Field that are open to the public.
While Sunday's practice is free and open to the public, you'll need a ticket to attend (tickets went fast when they were offered on Ticketmaster in July). The Eagles haven't said how many people they expect to attend Sunday, but last year about 23,000 fans flocked to the Linc.
For those who do have tickets, here's what you need to know about Sunday's open practice:
First open practice
When: Sunday, Aug. 5
Where: Lincoln Financial Field
Time: Gates open at 5 p.m.. Practice is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

In addition to the Eagles' practice, the open event will also feature activities throughout the stadium, including face painting and alumni autograph sessions. As part of Military Appreciation Night, a military flag football game will also take place after practice.

Open practices at the Linc
The team has held a few open practices at the Linc each year since 2013, when the Eagles moved camp from Lehigh University to Philadelphia. Doug Pederson opted to keep the camp in Philly when he became head coach. While fans could watch the team most days at Lehigh, the practices at the Linc have drawn larger crowds than the out-of-town sessions.
