Eagle was appointed Shadow Secretary of State for Defence in September 2015 by the newly elected Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

In January 2016, she was moved to the position of Shadow Culture Secretary. She resigned from The Shadow cabinet on 27 June 2016 in the mass resignation of The Shadow Cabinet following the Brexit referendum.
