The NFL schedule will drop, in full, Wednesday night at 8 p.m. But who can wait until then?
In a city of football fanatics, Eagles fans want information, and they want it now. Which is why we're committed to tracking all the leaks, rumors and news breaks as quickly as we can, to help paint an early picture of what the Birds' schedule will be like in 2025.
First, a few things we know for sure. The Eagles' slate of home and away opponents will be as follows:
| Location | Opponent |
| Home | Cowboys |
| Home | Commanders |
| Home | Giants |
| Home | Bears |
| Home | Broncos |
| Home | Lions |
| Home | Raiders |
| Home | Rams |
| Away | Cowboys |
| Away | Commanders |
| Away | Giants |
| Away | Packers |
| Away | Chiefs |
| Away | Chargers |
| Away | Vikings |
| Away | Bills |
| Away | Buccaneers |
We also know for sure that they will not be playing an international game. And that the schedule of opponents we listed above is among the toughest in the NFL — based on 2024 win percentage. A whopping 11 of their 17 games will be against playoff combatants from last winter.
And now, the order, days of the week and start times.
The first domino to fall came Monday morning from the Today Show. The Eagles, as is tradition, will start the regular season at home on Thursday night as Super Bowl champs.
Kickoff: 4:25 p.m. ET. https://t.co/Z4hojfEgfb

The NFL just loves it some NFC East games in prime time, even if it pits the defending Super Bowl champs on the road against a team that has three different quarterbacks.
Giants schedule reset:

Week 1: at Washington
Week 2: at Dallas
Week 3: vs. Chiefs, home SNF
Week 4: vs. Chargers
Week 6: vs. Eagles, TNF
Also confirmed Giants at Patriots, MNF on Dec. 1, and Giants at Raiders, week between Christmas and New Year'shttps://t.co/Cr9CCHJwtU
The entire New Jersey Turnpike rivalry will take place within a 17-day span of the middle of the season, and that'll be it until the playoffs – if the Giants can actually make it.
Full schedule for Giants is now here, confirmed: https://t.co/Cr9CCHJwtU

For the second straight year, the Eagles will be playing Friday Night Football (they started 2024 playing the Packers in Brazil), as per our Jimmy Kempski:
I’m told the Eagles will host the Bears on Black Friday.

FOX announced that as part of a Saturday doubleheader, the Eagles would be facing another division rival — this one much later in the year. The Commanders were a surprise opponent of Philly's a third time in the NFC Championship game, and there's potential for some real juice in this game if the teams are close in the standings come the winter.
Saturday, Week 16. See you there‼️@Ticketmaster | #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/5t3sHQ37GL

Yippee! A potential Super Bowl preview in Orchard Park, N.Y., in late December. "Isn't this awesome!" said nobody who likes to watch games in normal winter temperatures. Birds fans, if you're going, dress warmly. Very warmly. Like, way more warmly than you think.
Get ready for Eagles-Bills in Buffalo — December 28, Week 17.

One of the top games on the NFL schedule.
You've gotta wait almost an entire season before last year's NFC Conference Championship contestants go at it again, but hey, now you get it twice in a three-week span. This last showdown could be one for the ages if both teams are legit Super Bowl contenders by season's end.
The Eagles will finish off their 2025 regular season hosting the Washington Commanders in Week 18, per source.
