May
The Philadelphia Eagles have dropped their 2025 NFL regular season schedule, and it’s a thrilling lineup that promises high-stakes drama for the defending Super Bowl LIX champions. With a gauntlet of elite opponents, prime-time showdowns, and pivotal divisional clashes, this season will test the Eagles’ resolve as they aim to cement their dynasty. Below, we break down each matchup, offering strategic insights and predictions for what lies ahead.
Week 1: vs. Dallas Cowboys (September 4, 8:20 PM, NBC)
The Eagles open at Lincoln Financial Field against the Dallas Cowboys in a prime-time NFC East grudge match. Jalen Hurts versus Dak Prescott is a marquee duel, with Dallas’ explosive offense, led by CeeDee Lamb, challenging Philly’s secondary. The Eagles’ bolstered defensive line, featuring Haason Reddick, should disrupt Prescott, while Saquon Barkley could exploit Dallas’ run defense. The electric home crowd will be key. Prediction: Eagles kick off with a 31-24 victory.
Week 2: at Kansas City Chiefs (September 14, 4:25 PM, FOX)
A Super Bowl rematch takes the Eagles to Arrowhead Stadium to face Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs. This early-season clash is a litmus test for Philly’s title hopes. Kansas City’s passing attack will stress the Eagles’ cornerbacks, but Nick Sirianni’s play-calling could target the Chiefs’ shaky run defense. Long drives to limit Mahomes’ touches are crucial. Expect a nail-biter. Prediction: Chiefs sneak a 27-24 win.
Week 3: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (September 21, 1:00 PM, FOX)
Hosting the Buccaneers, the Eagles face a physical Tampa team led by Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. Philly’s offensive line should control the line of scrimmage, giving Hurts time to hit A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Tampa’s aging defense may struggle against Philly’s versatile attack. The Eagles’ ground game could seal it. Prediction: Eagles roll, 34-20.
Week 4: at Washington Commanders (September 28, 1:00 PM, CBS)
The Eagles travel to face a rebuilding Commanders squad. Washington’s young quarterback, likely Jayden Daniels, will struggle against Philly’s aggressive defense. The Eagles’ passing game should exploit Washington’s thin secondary, making this a momentum-building opportunity. Prediction: Eagles dominate, 28-13.
Week 5: Bye Week
An early bye allows the Eagles to recharge after a tough Chiefs matchup. Sirianni can use this time to fine-tune strategies for the grueling stretch ahead.
Week 6: at New York Giants (October 9, 8:15 PM, Prime Video)
A prime-time divisional clash at MetLife Stadium pits the Eagles against the Giants. New York’s offense, whether led by Daniel Jones or a new quarterback, lacks the firepower to match Philly. The Eagles’ defensive front should overwhelm the Giants’ weak offensive line, while Hurts’ mobility sparks big plays. Prediction: Eagles cruise, 30-17.
Week 7: vs. Atlanta Falcons (October 19, 1:00 PM, FOX)
The Falcons visit Philly with a run-heavy attack led by Bijan Robinson. Atlanta’s quarterback, possibly Kirk Cousins, will face pressure from Philly’s defense. The Eagles’ secondary should limit Atlanta’s passing game, and home-field advantage will help. This could be close until Philly pulls away. Prediction: Eagles win, 27-21.
Week 8: at Carolina Panthers (October 26, 1:00 PM, CBS)
Facing the Panthers in Carolina, the Eagles encounter a team still developing under Bryce Young or a new quarterback. Philly’s defensive line should feast on Carolina’s porous offensive line, setting the stage for a potential blowout. Avoiding turnovers is key. Prediction: Eagles triumph, 35-14.
Week 9: vs. Buffalo Bills (November 2, 4:25 PM, CBS)
A blockbuster matchup brings Josh Allen’s Bills to Philly. Allen’s dual-threat ability tests the Eagles’ defense, but Philly’s offense should exploit Buffalo’s inconsistent secondary. The Eagles’ offensive line gives Hurts an edge in the trenches. This could be a classic. Prediction: Eagles edge out, 30-27.
Week 10: at Green Bay Packers (November 10, 8:15 PM, ESPN/ABC)
A prime-time battle at Lambeau Field sees the Eagles face Jordan Love’s Packers. Green Bay’s young offense will push Philly, but the Eagles’ run game should dictate the pace. Philly’s receivers, Brown and Smith, could expose Green Bay’s secondary. Prediction: Eagles grind out a 24-20 win.
Week 11: vs. Detroit Lions (November 16, 8:20 PM, NBC)
The Lions, hearing NFC force, visit Philly for a prime-time showdown. Detroit’s balanced attack, with Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs, tests the Eagles’ defense. Philly’s passing game should exploit Detroit’s secondary, but red-zone efficiency will decide this high-scoring affair. Prediction: Eagles win, 34-30.
Week 12: at Los Angeles Rams (November 23, 4:05 PM, FOX)
The Eagles face Sean McVay’s Rams, led by Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp. Philly’s defensive line must pressure Stafford to disrupt his rhythm. The Eagles’ offense should capitalize on the Rams’ struggles against mobile quarterbacks. Prediction: Eagles take it, 28-24.
Week 13: vs. Chicago Bears (November 28, 3:00 PM, Prime Video)
A Black Friday home game features Caleb Williams’ Bears. Chicago’s young offense will falter against Philly’s veteran defense, while Hurts should dissect the Bears’ secondary. This is a chance to boost the win column. Prediction: Eagles dominate, 31-17.
Week 14: at Los Angeles Chargers (December 8, 8:15 PM, ESPN/ABC)
A prime-time road game against Justin Herbert’s Chargers promises fireworks. Herbert’s arm will test Philly’s secondary, but the Eagles’ run game could exploit L.A.’s weak front seven. Hurts’ dual-threat ability could be the difference. Prediction: Eagles win, 33-28.
Week 15: vs. New York Giants (December 14, 1:00 PM, FOX)
The second Giants matchup should be a comfortable home win. Philly’s depth and coaching edge will shine, with the defense stifling New York’s offense. Prediction: Eagles roll, 34-16.
Week 16: at Dallas Cowboys (December 21, 4:25 PM, FOX)
The Cowboys rematch in Dallas is pivotal for NFC East control. Philly’s defense should disrupt Prescott, while Barkley’s runs control the clock. A hostile crowd makes it tough, but Philly prevails. Prediction: Eagles steal a 27-23 win.
Week 17: vs. Washington Commanders (December 28, 1:00 PM, CBS)
The final home game against Washington offers a chance to clinch the division. Philly’s talent overwhelms, with Hurts showcasing MVP form. Prediction: Eagles win, 30-14.
Week 18: at Pittsburgh Steelers (January 4, 1:00 PM, CBS)
The season ends with a physical road game against the Steelers. T.J. Watt’s pass rush tests Philly’s offensive line, but the Eagles’ balanced attack secures the win. Prediction: Eagles close with a 24-20 victory.
