Eagles to host winner of 49ers-Cowboys in NFC Championship Game

The Philadelphia Eagles await the winner of Sunday’s Divisional Round playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles advance to the NFC Championship Game following a 38-7 win on Sunday night over the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

Next weekend, Philadelphia will host the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 2008, a game the Eagles lost 32-25 to the Arizona Cardinals. The Eagles have hosted the NFC title game four times in team history, losing each contest. Philadelphia’s three NFC Championship Game appearances as the road team have all been wins.

Sunday’s 49ers-Cowboys game will be the ninth playoff meeting all-time between the two teams. The 49ers have won the previous two meetings, including a 23-17 victory last year at AT&T Stadium. Sunday’s game will be held at Levi’s Stadium.

The 49ers and Eagles have met in the postseason just once before. San Francisco won that 1996 Wild-Card matchup 14-0. The Niners won the last meeting between the two teams, a Week 2 victory in Philadelphia during the 2021 season.

The NFC Championship Game is scheduled for Sunday, January 29, with kickoff set for noon Pacific.
