The 2025 NFL season is just around the corner, and Philadelphia Eagles are set to host a highly anticipated NFC team in the season opener. The big question on everyone’s mind: who will face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Eagles, at Lincoln Financial Field on September 4, 2025?
Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Detroit Lions, and Los Angeles Rams are all strong contenders for this opening game, but keep an eye on one surprising team: the Chicago Bears!
With the addition of promising offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, the Bears have garnered a lot of attention. Along with several impactful offseason additions, the Bears are shaping up to be a team NFL might want to feature in the season opener. Much like how the Detroit Lions were chosen to face the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023 despite missing the playoffs, the buzz around Ben Johnson and the Bears could make them the ideal pick for a season-opening matchup.
From a team that struggled to a franchise on the rise, the Bears are building a promising roster and could soon make waves in the NFL. With the added excitement and investments in their roster, a season opener against a powerhouse like the Eagles would be the perfect stage for the Bears to shine.
This would be the Eagles’ first chance to host the season opener since 2018, following their first Super Bowl victory. While teams like the Cowboys and Lions are traditional choices, the Bears’ rising momentum could make them a surprising but exciting pick for the opening game.
The 2025 season opener is fast approaching, and no matter which team visits Philadelphia, one thing is for certain: Eagles will be facing a tough opponent, and the game will be one of the most eagerly awaited events of the NFL season!
