The 2025 NFL schedule release is just days away, and fans of the Philadelphia Eagles are chomping at the bit to see when and where they will play this fall. The schedule release has become something of a holiday during the NFL offseason. It's the final piece of the puzzle for the upcoming season, even though the opponents and whether or not they are home or away have been known for months.
Still, seeing the schedule come together and determining the wins and losses is a fun part of the offseason. It's a chance for fans to talk themselves into a 10+ win campaign and rationalize the timing of playing certain opponents.
With the leaks set to begin, and select games being announced on different platforms, we're taking one shot at predicting the Eagles' 17-game slate.
Philadelphia finished the season 14-3 and first in the NFC East.
Philadelphia will face ten playoff teams, including the Washington Commanders, in the NFC East.
Dallas, N.Y. Giants, Washington, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, L.A. Rams (NFC West Winner)
Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Commanders, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills (AFC East winner), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (NFC South winner).
Amon-Ra St.Brown and the rest of the NFL world get their wish, as the highly touted Lions invade Philadelphia for a potential postseason preview against the Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Philadelphia travels to Minnesota to face the upstart and surging Vikings on their home turf in what could be back-to-back primetime showcases.
Philadelphia returns home and faces a much-improved Bears team that'll look to hunt the Super Bowl champions.
The season's first matchup between Jayden Daniels and Jalen Hurts is in Week 4 in the Nation's Capital.
The matchup features the NFL's best running back, Saquon Barkley, against his heir apparent, rookie Ashton Jeanty.
After back-to-back years traveling to Los Angeles, the Eagles host the Rams in what should be a shootout and a potential game of the year.
In a potential MVP showcase, Philadelphia travels to Buffalo to face the juggernaut, the Bills.
The two teams meet again, and Philadelphia will look to avenge a regular-season loss to Tampa last season. The 2024 loss to the Buccaneers dropped the Eagles to 2-2 heading into the bye week. They lost just once after that on the way to a Super Bowl.
The first of two high-profile matchups, the Eagles host the Cowboys before heading into a much-needed bye week.
Philadelphia comes out of the bye and into the stretch run with a gigantic matchup against the Packers.
Philadelphia heads west to SoFi Stadium, but this time, for a matchup against the improved Chargers with head coach Jim Harbaugh and quarterback Justin Herbert.
Bo Nix and the improving Broncos head to Philadelphia for a late-season clash.
The Super Bowl rematch happens later in the season than most.
The first of two high-profile matchups against Abdul Carter and the Giants.
The NFL schedule loves division matchups down the stretch, and Philadelphia will close with some colossal matchups.
In what could be a matchup to determine the NFC East, Philadelphia hosts the Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Giants are ever improving, but depending on how Week 17 goes, the Eagles could be playing for home-field advantage in the NFC.
