The Philadelphia Eagles 2025 NFL season is starting to take shape. FOX announced a Saturday Week 16 double-header featuring the Eagles on the road against the Washington Commanders, followed by the Chicago Bears versus the Green Bay Packers.

If the Eagles and Commanders have similar success as they did in 2024, this late-December matchup could have playoff implications for both teams. Since the Bears-Packers game will be the later matchup, the Eagles game should be mid-afternoon.
This is the second NFC East game for the Eagles now on the books, having learned earlier on Monday that Philly is set to host the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field for the NFL’s Week 1 season opener on Thursday, September 4. Dak Prescott and company will be on hand to watch the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX banner raised and celebrated to start the 2025 season.
As the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Eagles will likely get many primetime and nationally televised games, and so far they are 2-for-2 as the full schedule starts to drop.
