Get ready, Eagles fans! While the full 2025 NFL schedule drops Wednesday evening, leaked details of some key Philadelphia Eagles games have already sent ripples of excitement through the fanbase. This article breaks down what we know so far, offers predictions, and gets you ready for what promises to be another electrifying season for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Early Season Showdowns
The buzz is real! Three games have been revealed, setting the stage for a thrilling 2025 season. The Eagles will kick off their title defense on Thursday, September 4th, hosting their arch-rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, in a primetime showdown. This game will also feature the unveiling of the Super Bowl LIX banner – a moment sure to send chills down the spines of Eagles fans.
- Week 1: Eagles vs. Cowboys (Thursday Night Football)
Thanksgiving will bring another exciting matchup, as the Eagles host the Chicago Bears on Friday, November 28th, a Black Friday primetime game on Amazon Prime Video. This will be a clash of styles and a fascinating test for the Eagles’ revamped roster.
- Week 13: Eagles vs. Bears (Black Friday)
Adding to the excitement, the Eagles will travel to face the Washington Commanders on Saturday, December 20th, in Week 16. A rematch of last season's intense playoff battle is sure to be a nail-biter.

These three games alone showcase the Eagles' national prominence, with two primetime slots and a high-profile Thanksgiving game. Expect more prime-time appearances when the full schedule is released.
A Look Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities
The Eagles enter 2025 with sky-high expectations after their dominant Super Bowl run. However, the team has undergone changes. The post-Super Bowl personnel shuffle saw some key players depart, meaning the team will rely on younger talent, particularly on defense under new coordinator Vic Fangio. The departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore also marks a significant shift, adding another layer of intrigue to Jalen Hurts' MVP-caliber season. These changes could impact the team's performance throughout the season, especially against tough opponents.
The leaked schedule hints at a challenging season. The Eagles will face a tough strength of schedule, with many games against playoff contenders. Their opponents combined for a .561 winning percentage last season, placing them among the teams facing the most difficult schedules. They face the daunting task of facing 11 playoff teams. Games against the Chiefs (Super Bowl rematch), Bills, and the entire NFC East will be particularly tough.
However, there are also opportunities. Matchups against the Raiders and Bears could provide opportunities for wins, and the games against the Cowboys and Giants could be more manageable than some anticipate based on last year's results.
Prediction and Conclusion
Predicting the Eagles' record is a challenge, but considering their talent, coaching changes, and strength of schedule, a 12-5 record seems plausible. They are likely to remain the NFC East champions, and remain a top contender for a Super Bowl 60 berth. The 2025 season promises to be a thrilling ride, full of exciting matchups and high stakes, testing the resilience and skill of the reigning champions.
