The leaks have started!
The NFL schedule leaks, rumors, and reports have started, and we should have most of the schedule penciled in before the Washington Commanders announce theirs at 7:45 pm tomorrow night. The NFL will officially release the entire season’s schedule at 8 pm as part of their 2 hour release program, but will be officially announcing some games starting on Monday.
The first rumored Commanders game has been confirmed, and it’s a big one. There was speculation that the Washington Commanders would be getting an international game, and they are playing the Miami Dolphins in the NFL’s first game in Madrid, Spain. The report is now verified, and fans can register for ticket information here.
The second announced game was a division matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. This Week 16 game is on Saturday, December 20th, and likely sets Washington up to play in one of the three Christmas games at the end of the year. This was boosted further today with the announcement that the Dallas Cowboys will be hosting the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving, likely eliminating Washington from that slate of games. The Madrid game, and likely bye afterwards, also made Thanksgiving unlikely. There is an unverified report that the Buccaneers will be visiting the Rams for the night game(this report is now disputed), and Washington is hosting the Lions this year, not visiting them which would be a requirement to play them on Turkey Day.
The New York Giants schedule usually gets fully leaked out before the official announcement, and their first two games were reported this morning. They will open up the season with two division road games. First up is a trip to Northwest Stadium to kick off Washington’s second season of the Adam Peters/Dan Quinn/Jayden Daniels era. They follow that up with a trip to Texas to face the Dallas Cowboys who are playing the Eagles in Week 1. The Commanders will reportedly visit the Packers in Week 2 for the first Thursday Night Football game of the season.
The latest leaks have the Washington Commanders closing out their season with games against NFC East opponents. They visit the New York Giants in Week 15 for a 1 p.m. game. Week 16 is a Saturday home game against the Eagles, then then host the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day. The Commanders finish the season on the road for the second game against the Eagles. The NFL loves closing the season out with division games, and this year is no different for Washington.
The NFL will release the full 2025 regular season schedule on Wednesday May 14, but select games will be revealed earlier:
