NFL Schedule Release 2025: Kickoff Game Set, Fox Dec. Doubleheader

Fox Sports announcer Terry Bradshaw interviews Philadelphia Eagles stands.

It’s 2025 NFL Schedule Release Week, and several marquee games have already been announced, including the Kickoff Game.

2025 NFL Kickoff Game

The defending Super Bowl champion will open the season at the Linc.

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 4. The game kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

The Eagles dominated the Cowboys last season, winning both matchups by a combined score of 75-13. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott did not play in those games due to injury.

This is the first time in 25 years that the Eagles and Cowboys will play in Week 1. The Eagles won 41-14 in Week 1 of the 2000 season.

Defending Super Bowl champions are 15-5 in the NFL Kickoff Game since 2004.

Week 16 Doubleheader

A pair of rivalries highlight Fox’s Saturday slate in Week 16 on Dec. 20.

The first game is the NFC Championship rematch between the Eagles and the Washington Commanders. The Commanders will host the game at Northwest Stadium.

The Eagles dominated the Commanders in the NFC Championship by a score of 55-23.

The second game of the doubleheader is one of the NFL’s most famous rivalries. The Green Bay Packers travel to Soldier Field to take on the new-look Chicago Bears.

The Packers had won 11 straight games against the Bears before Chicago knocked them off in Week 18.
