Washington Commanders schedule for the 2025 NFL season: Rivals and dates for every game
It’s NFL schedule release time, so let’s see what’s in store for the Commanders in the 2025 season.
One of the most anticipated teams heading into the 2025 NFL season is the Washington Commanders. Last year, out of nowhere, they made it to the playoffs led by their star rookie quarterback, Jayden Daniels.
This season, we’ll find out whether that success was a fluke—or if Washington is truly a team to watch in the coming years. For now, we already know their opponents and game dates for the upcoming season.
Washington will be one of the featured teams in the NFL’s international games in 2025. The Commanders will travel to Madrid to face the Dolphins in Week 11.
Another game to circle on the calendar is the visit from the reigning champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, who will try to storm Northwest Stadium in Week 16—on Saturday, Dec. 20.
Based on last season’s records, the Commanders have the 14th toughest schedule in the league. They’ll face seven teams that made the playoffs last year.
