The NFL revealed that the 2025 regular season will kick off with a high-profile NFC East showdown between the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, and their longtime rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. The game will take place on Thursday, September 4 at 8:20 p.m. EDT, and will be broadcast on NBC and streamed via Peacock.

In the lead-up to the full release, the NFL and its broadcast partners will gradually unveil select games and matchups. Fox and Prime Video plan to announce additional contests on Monday, while ESPN will reveal more details, including information about the league’s international games, during Tuesday’s broadcast of Good Morning America. CBS will also share a game announcement on Wednesday morning during CBS Mornings, and Netflix is set to unveil another key matchup ahead of the full schedule reveal.
Additionally, the NFL preseason will begin with the Hall of Fame Game on July 31, featuring the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Chargers. This game will be held at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio, and will air at 8 p.m. on NBC and Peacock.
These staggered announcements are part of the NFL’s effort to build anticipation for the upcoming season, providing fans with an early look at some of the most anticipated matchups while highlighting the league’s growing partnership with various media platforms.
