The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will welcome the Dallas Cowboys to Lincoln Financial Field on September 4, 2025, in what promises to be a dramatic kick-off to the NFL season.

Philadelphia boasts one of the league’s most explosive offenses, returning nearly its entire starting lineup—including Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley—while Dallas enters with a fresh leadership approach under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and the much-anticipated return of veteran QB Dak Prescott. The game features high stakes and subplots from both sides: Philadelphia’s dominant title defense vs. Dallas’s desire to rebound—and further intensity added by an ongoing contract standoff involving Cowboys’ defensive ace Micah Parsons.
