**Rochester, NY –** The NFL is gradually unveiling its highly anticipated 2025 season schedule, starting with a blockbuster announcement: the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host their NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, in the season opener on Thursday, September 4th, on NBC. This announcement, made by Mike Tirico on NBC’s *Today* show, dashed earlier speculation that the Buffalo Bills would feature prominently in the initial reveals.
While the Bills were rumored to be part of the early announcements, including a possible appearance by quarterback Josh Allen on *Today*, their season opener will be announced later. However, the team will not be hosting an international game in 2025, although four of their away opponents will be.
The league will continue its staggered schedule release throughout the week. Three games will be revealed Monday on NBC’s *Today* Show, FOX, and Prime Video. Another will follow Tuesday on ABC’s *Good Morning America*, with a fifth on Wednesday morning on CBS Mornings. Netflix is expected to announce its Christmas Day game package on Wednesday as well.
The international game schedule, comprising seven games, will be announced on May 13th via the NFL Network and *Good Morning Football*. The full 2025 schedule will be released on May 14th, also airing on the NFL Network. The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle will provide ongoing coverage of leaks, rumors, and official announcements as they become available.
