The week of NFL schedule leaks is upon us and it hasn’t taken long for the first breadcrumb to drop. For Eagles fans, it’s a rather exciting one and has now been confirmed by the NFL.
Philadelphia Eagles to open 2025 against the Cowboys
The Super Bowl Champions will host the Dallas Cowboys to kickoff their 2025 campaign. As if the NFC East Clash needed any more drama. there may arguably be no more fitting way to open a campaign as defending champions than against your biggest rival.
The last time the two enemies clashed, the Eagles dominated Dallas to a beat of 41-7, clinching the NFC East in the process. They also beat the Cowboys 34-6 when the two teams met earlier in the year.
Philadelphia has won 6 of its last 11 matchups against Dallas.
So far, we know the Eagles’ 2025 opponents are as follows:
Home:
Dallas Cowboys (Week 1)
New York Giants
Washington Commanders
Detroit Lions
Denver Broncos
Chicago Bears
Los Angeles Rams
Las Vegas Raiders
Road
Dallas Cowboys (Week 1)

Washington Commanders

It will be interesting to see how the rest of the schedule shakes out, but starting it with a divisional clash against the Cowboys is certainly one way to ensure that the energy is high going into week 1.
