PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles officially have a path toward defending their Super Bowl championship. With the NFL schedule being released this week, the Eagles know when they will play their 2025 opponents on a schedule that looks daunting on paper.
Since the Eagles are in the NFC East, the schedule rotation has Philadelphia playing the NFC North — a division that had three teams win 11+ games last season (and two 14+ win teams). The Eagles are also facing the AFC West on the intraconference slate (a division that had three playoff teams last season). Since the Eagles won the NFC East, they’ll play the division winners of the NFC South (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), NFC West (Los Angeles Rams) and AFC East as their 17th game (Buffalo Bills).
Of course, the NFC East is daunting as well. The Washington Commanders faced off against the Eagles in the NFC Championship game last season, and the NFC East champion from the previous season has failed to repeat as division champions over the last 20 seasons (the Eagles from 2001-2004 were the last repeat champions).
The Eagles certainly have a daunting schedule in 2025, given that the Kansas City Chiefs, Buffalo Bills, Washington Commanders (twice), Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers highlight the slate. Philadelphia has the fourth-toughest opponent win percentage in the NFL based on last season’s record (.561), which resulted in plenty of prime-time games as a result.
Let’s break down the Eagles schedule, along with some quirks and predictions for each of the games:

Jets’ Woody Johnson slams Justin Fields’ play, defends Aaron Glenn: ‘Hard when you have a QB with the rating that we’ve got’
NEW YORK, N.Y. — As the New York Jets’ stretch as the NFL’s only winless team continues, team owner Woody Johnson showed belief Tuesday in one key organizational cog – while withholding belief in another.Johnson said he believes head coach Aaron Glenn is “turning around parts of” the organization despite the Jets falling to 0-7 Sunday with a loss to the Carolina Panthers, during which starting quarterback Justin Fields was benched.
