NFL Reveals 2025 Schedule, Lions Get Hall of Fame Game

The NFL has released its 2025 regular season and preseason schedules, with the Philadelphia Eagles, as defending Super Bowl champions, set to open the season by hosting the Dallas Cowboys. The Detroit Lions, following a franchise-record 15-win season, have been awarded five primetime games and will play on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, underlining their rise as Super Bowl contenders. The Lions will also kick off the preseason in the Hall of Fame Game against the Los Angeles Chargers, resulting in four preseason games for Detroit. Analysts predict a challenging season for the Cowboys, who may finish below .500 despite offseason changes, due to a transitional offense and tough NFC East competition. The schedule also features rookie quarterbacks making their preseason debuts with teams like the Titans and Saints. Overall, the 2025 NFL season is set for high-profile matchups and developing storylines.
