New York Giants 2025 Season Preview: Star Players, Key Matchups & Where to Watch
The Giants' front office aimed to answer last year’s most pressing questions as swiftly as possible in the 2025 offseason. They stacked the secondary, spent multiple first-round picks, and went from no viable starting quarterback to multiple veterans, and the second-best prospect in the entire 2025 class.
Head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen are in the hot seat and have to go all out this season if they are to salvage their project. As miserable as last season got, there were still glimmers of hope that the team could build on going forward.
The NFC East may be one of the toughest divisions in football, but Giants fans have plenty to be excited about in the years ahead.
📺 Top 5 Must-Watch Giants Games in 2025
🏈 Week 1 (Sept 7) - @ Washington Commanders
FOX, 1:00 PM ET
The Giants wouldn’t mind replicating the Commanders' 2024 run, but this opening day clash will give both teams an idea of how far they’ve come this offseason.
🏈 Week 3 (Sept 21) - vs Kansas City Chiefs
NBC/Peacock, 8:20 PM ET
New York will get the ultimate early-season test when the AFC Champion Chiefs come to town in week 3. This is also the Giants’ home opener, making it an even higher-stakes affair.
🏈 Week 6 (Oct 9) - vs Philadelphia Eagles
Prime Video, 8:15 PM ET
By virtue of being in the same division, the Giants could only avoid the reigning Superbowl champions for so long. Having to face them off a short week, in primetime, at home, will give us early indications of whether the Giants are a serious team in 2025.
🏈 Week 13 (Dec 1) - @ New England Patriots
ESPN, 8:15 PM ET
The Patriots are on the up, and given their historic rivalry with the Giants, will have plenty to prove when they travel up to Foxborough in early December.
🏈 Week 18 (Jan 3/4) - vs Dallas Cowboys
TBD
What a way to close out the season: hosting America’s team at MetLife. If they are in the playoff hunt, this game could be crucial. If not, it’s always nice to spoil the Cowboy’s party.

- Week 6 vs Philadelphia
- Monday Night (MNF) Games
- Week 13 @ New England
Despite having two winning seasons in the past 12 years, the New York Giants' pull is such that they have still been rewarded with three primetime games this season. That is also down to some of the exciting talent they’ve acquired, although history is certainly not on their side in these matchups. The G-Men have won just 4 of their last 28 primetime games dating back to 2017, including a humbling 0-3 record in the national spotlight last season.

🧠 Final Thought: Can they finish above .500?
Making the bold decision to finally let go of Daniel Jones has ushered in a new era of Giants football. Unlike other teams in the league, the Giants have a clear, long-term plan for their man under center and have slowly but surely built a formidable arsenal of weapons around him. Even if they’re unlikely to top the division and the 14-year title drought continues, there is no denying that things are looking up in the Big Apple.
