The NFL should reveal its full calendar in 2025 Wednesday, May 14, when football fans across the country will learn the dates and hours of each confrontation of the next slate of the season. The full 18 -week calendar will be revealed at 8 p.m., continuing the League tradition to transform the release into a brandie intersection event.
After defeating the Chiefs of Kansas City 40-22 in the Super Bowl 59, the Eagles enter the year as reigning champions, after having denied Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs a three historic peat.

Like tradition, the Super Bowl champion is expected to host the first NFL season’s game on Thursday evening, probably at Lincoln Financial Field. Here are the three most likely opponents for this coveted projector match:
1. Washington commanders
An NFC championship revenge under the lights would set the tone for a high drama season. Washington, who turned upside down the last season before falling to Philadelphia in the match for the title of the conference, brings an immediate intrigue to the opening. The second -year quarter of the second year Jayden Daniels has just released a superb recruit campaign, and Washington did everything around him – acquire Deebo Samuel Sr. of the 49ers and the five -time pro Bowl Pro Bowl Laremy Tunsil in successful trades. With the two teams recharged and locked in a fierce division rivalry, this match would be a notation magnet.
2. Rams of Los Angeles

Philadelphia eliminated the Rams during the division round last season, and revenge offers many convincing stories. The rams went everything to extend their title window. Matthew Stafford returns for a 17th season, and made it the headlines by joining Davante Adams with the star in small Puka Nacua groups to create one of the most dangerous reception tanders in the league. Add the aggressive RAMS off -season strategy – making their first -round choice for future capital and strengthening the tight depth and the depth of the defensive line – and this match could serve as a measurement stick for two contenders for the NFC.
3. Detroit lions
Detroit had to face Philadelphia in the game for the NFC title last year before Washington played spoiler. Ben Johnson now leading the Bears of Chicago as a chief coach, the Lions must recalibrate after having aligned the most striking offensive in the NFL (29.0 ppg) in the last three seasons. However, Detroit made waves by locking Kerby Joseph with a record extension and by signing the veteran DJ Reed to solidify their secondary. The confrontation would have two of the most complete lists of the NFC in a potential overview of the playoffs.

After celebrating their triumph of the Super Bowl, the Eagles are now confronted with the intimidating challenge to defend their title – a feat accomplished for the last time by the New England Patriots in 2004. The defensive pillars Josh Sweat, Milton Williams and Darius Slay all left. CJ Gardner-Johnson was exchanged for Houston’s Texans, leaving a vacuum in the secondary.

GM Howie Roseman, operating with limited ceiling flexibility, responded by signing Azeez Ojulari to a one -year agreement and selecting the secondary of Alabama Jihaad Campbell in the first round of the NFL 2025 draft. Despite turnover, the Eagles nucleus remains intact, including the MVP of the Super Bowl Jalen Hurts, All-Pro Aj Brown and the faithful defensive Jalen Carter.
Philadelphia has once again one of the deepest lists in the league. Regardless of whom they faced during the opening evening, the reigning champions are built to thrive under the spotlight – starting the marked game of the NFL of week 1.
