Per reports, Washington will face Dallas on Christmas Day in what is expected to be an exciting matchup. It's also interesting that the Commanders's home game against the Eagles - another division rival - is scheduled just five days before the game against the Cowboys.

In addition, Washington will meet Miami on November 16 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. That game will mark the first time the NFL will host a regular-season game in Spain.

Washington Commanders 2025 Season Outlook

The Washington Commanders are approaching the 2025 season with big expectations following quarterback Jayden Daniels's significant contribution to their 12-5 record last year. However, they will have a difficult test in 2025 as they are scheduled to play against the Chiefs and Eagles, among other strong opponents.

The Commanders's overall roster talent still makes them strong contenders to at least make the playoffs for the second straight season this year, despite potential difficulties brought on by a more difficult schedule. The team's confidence must have skyrocketed following last year's successful run, and there's little reason to doubt that upward trend won't continue into 2025.
