2025 NFL Schedule Release: Eagles’ Opponent Announced — And It’s Turning Heads
Philadelphia, PA — The NFL dropped its 2025 schedule this morning, and one matchup has fans buzzing coast to coast: the Philadelphia Eagles will open their season with a blockbuster international showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs — in Tokyo, Japan.
Yes, you read that right. The Eagles will take on Patrick Mahomes and the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs in a Week 1 prime-time game at the Tokyo Dome, marking the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game in Japan.
A Global Statement
The move is part of the league’s aggressive global expansion strategy, but this particular pairing feels like a deliberate statement: two recent Super Bowl contenders, two of the most passionate fanbases, and two of the league’s most marketable quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts and Mahomes. It’s a matchup fit for a Super Bowl — not just a season opener.
“We wanted to give fans around the world a game that represents the best of the NFL,” said Commissioner Roger Goodell. “This is more than a game — it’s an international showcase.”
Why It’s Turning Heads
Besides the historic location, the rematch aspect adds extra spice. The Eagles fell to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII and narrowly beat them in a Monday night thriller in 2023. The teams haven’t met since. With both squads reloaded for another title run, this season opener could foreshadow February’s finale.
Fans are already reacting. “I’m booking my flight to Tokyo right now,” one Eagles fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). “No way I’m missing this.”
A New Chapter Begins
The Eagles, coming off a disappointing 2024 playoff exit, see this as a chance to start fresh — and loud. “What better way to set the tone than by beating the champs on an international stage?” said head coach Nick Sirianni.
The Tokyo kickoff is scheduled for Sunday, September 7, at 8:30 a.m. ET — a breakfast-time blockbuster for U.S. fans, and a prime-time party for the Japanese crowd
