A rematch of Super Bowl LIX between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will take place in Week 2 of the NFL season.
That late-afternoon showdown on Sunday, Sept. 14, will take place in Kansas City, and was among a host of notable matchups announced Wednesday night as the NFL unveiled its full schedule.
The Chiefs, whose bid to win three straight Super Bowls was dashed by the Eagles in February, will be featured in at least eight standalone games in 2025. Philadelphia is getting seven stand-alone contests.
Among the Week 1 highlights announced Wednesday night:
• Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills will visit Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens on «Sunday Night Football.» Allen edged Jackson for the NFL MVP award last season while Jackson was the AP's first-team All-Pro quarterback. The teams also met in the AFC divisional round, with Buffalo winning.
• No waiting for Aaron Rodgers to face his former team if he does end up signing with Pittsburgh. The Steelers will visit the New York Jets — who now have former Pittsburgh quarterback Justin Fields.
• Pete Carroll's return to the sideline, this time as coach of the Raiders, will take place in his former stomping ground, New England, when Las Vegas takes on Drake Maye and the Patriots.
• Star two-way rookie Travis Hunter is set to make his debut for the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Carolina Panthers.
Wednesday night's full unveiling of the 2025 slate capped a week of announcements about the schedule, with the Cowboys-Eagles season opener on Sept. 4, international games and holiday matchups previously set.
