Washington Commanders' 2025 Schedule

The Washington Commanders‘ 2025 schedule has been released, and fans have a lot to look forward to. With five prime-time showcases and a challenging slate that includes games against multiple playoff teams from 2024, Washington’s upcoming season promises excitement and drama.

Prime-Time Spotlight

The Commanders are set to play five prime-time games, including a highly anticipated Monday Night Football rematch with the Chicago Bears in Week 6, a clash that will see the two top quarterbacks from the 2024 draft class face off once again. Washington’s success last year, led by standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, has propelled the team into the national spotlight. They’ll also enjoy a stretch of seven consecutive games in high-profile national time slots between Weeks 6 and 13, interrupted only by a bye week.

Key Matchups to Watch

One of the most circled dates for Washington is December 20, when they’ll face the Philadelphia Eagles for the first time since last season’s lopsided NFC Championship Game loss. Washington made significant offseason moves to bolster their offensive and defensive lines, setting the stage for a statement game. Another marquee matchup comes in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, a team wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has historically torched.

The revamped offensive line, anchored by new additions like left tackle Laremy Tunsil and rookie Josh Conerly Jr., will get tested early in Week 1 against the New York Giants and their fearsome pass rusher Abdul Carter, the third pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Playoff Implications

Washington faces one of the league’s toughest schedules, ranking eighth in strength of schedule based on 2024 opponent win percentages. They’ll close the regular season with a grueling four-game NFC East stretch, including battles with the Eagles, Giants, and Cowboys. These games will likely decide their playoff fate.

Here’s the Washington Commanders’ 2025 regular-season schedule:

• Week 1: Sept. 7 vs. New York Giants
