The Eagles will open the 2025 NFL season against the Dallas Cowboys

Sports News, (EFE) – The opening game of the 2025 National Football League (NFL) season will pit the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys, America’s team, on September 4 at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the champions, the organization announced Monday.

The Eagles will be the 20th champions to kick off a regular NFL season, a tradition that began in the 2004 season.

Philadelphia, led by Jalen Hurts, MVP in Super Bowl LIX, will thus begin its title defense against the Lone Star team, led by quarterback Dak Prescott and headed by Brian Schottenheimer.

The NFL will release the rest of the schedule in two parts.

The teams that will play the seven international games scheduled for 2025 will be announced this Tuesday.

Among the franchises confirmed to play outside the United States are the Miami Dolphins, who will play at home at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid against an opponent that will be announced by the league this Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Chargers are also awaiting an opponent for their home game at the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo (Brazil), which will host a regular-season NFL game for the second consecutive year. This matchup is scheduled to be played on Friday, September 5, in Week 1 of the season.

London will have three games this year: two at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets will host, and one at Wembley Stadium, where the Jacksonville Jaguars will play.

In Germany, the Indianapolis Colts will take to the field at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin against an opponent to be named. A similar expectation is shared by the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will play at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.

The remaining games on the 2025 NFL schedule will be announced next Wednesday.
