The Eagles, like all the NFL teams, already know who they play in 2025. They simply do not know when, but they will know it sooner.
In reality, their road schedule has more renowned matches than their home schedule. However, there are many attractive possibilities for this opening game of the prime time season. We classified them in the opposite order of the ideal match for the opening evening.
But first, let’s look at the eagles adversaries:

Philadelphia Eagles Running Back, Saquon Barkley (26 years old), bears the ball against the New York giants during the first half at the Metlife Stadium on October 20, 2024, at East Rutherford, NJ
No. 8, New York Giants
Last year, this match would have been ranked much higher, Saquon Barkley going against his former team. But we have already seen Barkley running Roughshod on the Giants in his first match against the Giants, obtaining 176 yards in three quarters before sitting the fourth of an easy victory of 28-3 Eagles at the Metlife Stadium. It is true that fans of the Eagles at home could not see Barkley playing his former team at Linc because he and the other starters spent the end of the regular season final in order to rest for the playoffs. In the process, Barkley missed a chance to break the precipitation record in a season by Eric Dickerson of 2,105 yards.

And although it will be intriguing to see N ° 3 Global Prision of the draft at Edge Rusher Abdul CarterA Penn State star, the games against the giants should not be very competitive. It is hardly a formula to keep the interest of viewers in the fourth quarter.
N ° 7, Raiders de Las Vegas
This match is just ahead of the giants for two reasons: the first, it will mark the first time that the former Eagles coach, Chip Kelly, will be in Lincoln Financial Field since the Eagles dismissed him with a match in the 2015 season. Kelly was hired as an offensive coordinator of the raiders under Pete Carroll after six seasons Followed by the Ohio State offensive coordinator function in 2024. Second, the raiders should be more interesting this season after writing Aston Jeanty ball carrier at No. 6. They also exchanged against QB Geno Smith. However, the raiders took place 4-13 last season, and it is difficult to sell this as an opening match of the season.
Ezekiel Elliott # 15 of Dallas Cowboys loses the ball in the second quarter against the Eagles of Philadelphia at the AT&T stadium on November 10, 2024, in Arlington, Texas.
N ° 6, Dallas Cowboys
Who would have waited for the cowboys to be so low on the list? But the Eagles dominated Dallas by a 75-13 combined last season, and it may not be much better this season for the Cowboys. The cowboys have some stars in the Rusher Edge Micah Parsons, the wide Ceeede Lamb receiver and the Trevon Diggs cornerback. And QB Dak Prescott should be in good health after missing a large part of last season with a torn hamid. But it is hardly the automatic prime match that he was previously, the fact that the match of December 29 was evidenced by last season was bent at 1 p.m. at the Log Lift at 4:25 p.m.

N ° 5, Denver Broncos
The Broncos, behind the quarter recruit Bo Nix, made a surprising race for the playoffs last season. And they should also be competitive this season with a stronger support cast around him. But broncos are not serious competitors of the Super Bowl, at least not yet. Broncos may boast of Patrick Surain’s Best Cornerback. During the last meeting of the two teams, in 2021 in Denver, the receiver of the Eagles Devonta Smith made a large TD taking over SUROIN, his former teammate in Alabama. Since then, the Eagles have added AJ Brown and have gone to two Super Bowls. Surprise is therefore sure to have your hands full.
N ° 4, Chicago Bears
It is difficult to see this match attract great attention of week 1, even if Caleb Williams, choice n ° 1 of the 2024 draft, should be better than last season when the Bears lost 11 out of 12 to finish 5-12. The Bears have since hired the offensive innovator Ben Johnson as head coach, then used their first two choices in the draft on TE Cochston Loveland and WR Luther Burden receptors. Bear should be well improved, but to see is believing.
AJ Brown # 11 of the Philadelphia Eagles grabs a hit against Mike Sainristil # 0 of Washington Commanders during the second quarter of the NFC Championship match in Lincoln Financial Field on January 26, 2025, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
N ° 3, Washington Commanders
As a rule, a revenge match in the NFC championship match would be N ° 1, especially since the revenge match of the Eagles Super Bowl against the Chiefs is on the road. But the Eagles castigated Washington 55-23, and the NFL generally tries to avoid division clashes when opening the season during prime time. Commanders should be more competitive against the Eagles this year after adding to Jayden Daniels’ support distribution by exchanging WR Deebo Samuel and LT Laremy Tunsil. It will be a match during proud hours, but it would be much better served later in the season.
Saquon Barkley # 26 of the Eagles of Philadelphia directs the ball for a touch of 78 yards against the Rams of Los Angeles in the fourth quarter in the NFC qualifiers in Lincoln Financial Field on January 19, 2025, in Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania.
N ° 2, Rams of Los Angeles
Who can forget the “snow game, leaves II” during the NFC qualifiers last season last? It was at this moment that Saquon Barkley ran for 205 yards and that the Rams were at a Jalen Carter-Sack, far from eliminating the Eagles because they were only 13 meters from scoring a last minute TD. The Eagles maintained a 28-22 victory. The Rams will again have a powerful offense led by QB Matthew Stafford with Davante Adams replacing Cooper Kupp to the receiver. The Rams also have the star WR Puka Nacua and the balloon Kyren Williams. The Rams will also have a solid defense led by the Rusher de Bord Jared Verse, who dismissed Jalen twice in this eliminatory match.
N ° 1, Lions of Detroit
It was the match of the playoffs that everyone wanted to see last season when the Lions went for 15-2 and obtained the seeded n ° 1 in the playoffs. But the commanders upset the lions in the division tour, so the Eagles did not have to go to Detroit. Instead, the Eagles hosted the commanders outdated. The Lions were ravaged by defense injuries, especially the tip of the Rusher Aidan Hutchinson.

But of course, this match will focus on the attack – for both teams. The lions are loaded with Amon-Ra St. Brown receptors, Jameson Williams and Sam Laporta, as well as the Ballon holder duo Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Eagles also have weapons in Gogo.
Can the defense of the Lions impose itself after being destroyed by Washington in the playoffs? Can Eagles slow down the Lions offensive?
What better way to start the season than with a shooting shooter that descends in the wire, in a possible overview of the NFC championship?
