What time is the NFL game tonight? TV schedule, channel, live stream to watch Eagles vs. Cowboys in Week 1 image

The NFL season returns with a rivalry matchup on Week 1's Thursday Night Football. The Cowboys will visit the Eagles to kick off the 2025 season.

Philadelphia is coming off a Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs, marking the franchise's second Super Bowl. The key components of the championship squad remained intact with Jalen Hurts under center, Saquon Barkley in the backfield and A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith out wide.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys are looking a bit different this year. Dak Prescott is still the franchise quarterback, but the team made a major shakeup on defense. The front office traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers as contract negotiations stalled.

The loss of Parsons is a monumental one, as he not only was the leading force of the Dallas defense, but he's one of the best defensive players in the NFL. This trade makes it much more difficult for the Cowboys to reach the playoffs a year after finishing 7-10.
