Philadelphia Eagles 2025 Season Preview: Star Players, Key Matchups & Where to Watch

Philadelphia Eagles 2025 Season Preview: Star Players, Key Matchups & Where to Watch

It can be difficult to predict the trajectory of Super Bowl-winning teams: some go on to win many more, such as the Kansas City Chiefs, while others endure era-defining playoff droughts, like the Denver Broncos. 

However, these 2025 Philadelphia Eagles appear much closer to the former than the latter, with many of the same pieces that got them the Lombardi in the first place still on board. 

A tough road lies ahead, but Philly has all the momentum in the world at their back and will look to assert themselves as the sport’s next dynasty. 

đŸ“ș Top 5 Must-Watch Eagles Games in 2025 

🏈 Week 1 (Sept 4) - vs Dallas Cowboys

NBC, 8:20 PM ET

Hoisting the championship banner against your eternal rivals
it doesn’t get much sweeter than that. Philly will have to back it up with a dominant on-field performance and set the tone for their championship defense. 

🏈 Week 2 (Sept 14) - @ Kansas City Chiefs

FOX, 4:25 PM ET

A Super Bowl LIX rematch at Arrowhead is going to be an early-season test for the Birds. They’ll be facing a determined Chiefs team, out to prove that February was a fluke.

🏈 Week 11 (Nov 16) - vs Detroit Lions

NBC, 8:20 PM ET

What many anticipated last season’s NFC Championship game would be, it’s time for the Eagles to put the hypotheticals to bed once and for all.

🏈 Week 16 (Dec 20) - @ Washington Commanders

FOX: TBD

Given what both teams have shown, this could easily be a division-deciding game in one of the few stadiums where the Eagles lost last season.

🏈 Week 17 (Dec 28) - @ Buffalo Bills

FOX, 4:25 PM ET

The dreaded trip up to Buffalo in December has broken championship-caliber teams before. This late in the season, a win over one of the AFC’s best would give Philly great momentum to carry with them into the postseason. 


🌙 Eagles in Prime Time: When to Tune In

  • Thursday Night Football (TNF) Games
    • Week 1 vs Dallas
    • Week 6 @ NY Giants
  • Monday Night (MNF) Games
    • Week 10 @ Green Bay
    • Week 14 @ LA Chargers
  • Sunday Night Football (SNF) Games
    • Week 11 vs Detroit

Philly is tied for the second most nationally broadcast, with five, but could see that number go up to 6 if their week 16 matchup against the Commanders is flexed into a primetime slot. Over the past three seasons, the Birds have managed a winning record in primetime games, a trend that has seen them make the playoffs 7 of the past 8 seasons. Their only back-to-back national broadcast games of this season come straight off their bye week. Both come against NFC North teams (the Packers and Lions, to be specific), one of the strongest divisions in all of 2024, kicking off a tough slate to end the season.
