The 2025 NFL regular season will kick off on September 4 with a classic showdown: the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host their historic rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, at home in the opening game of Week 1, which will be broadcast on NBC in primetime.
>This will be the first opening day matchup between the two teams since 2000, when Andy Reid’s Eagles crushed the Cowboys 41-14 at Texas Stadium.
According to ESPN Research data, none of the 19 players newly selected by both franchises in the April 2025 draft had been born by then. The rivalry between the Eagles and Cowboys, both members of the NFC East, is one of the most exciting in the league. Last season, Philadelphia won both meetings between the two teams and will be looking to start their title defense with another home victory.
