The Philadelphia Eagles are set to host the Chicago Bears on Black Friday, November 28, as part of the NFL's Week 13 matchups, according to recent schedule leaks. This game is notable for being the only NFL game played on Black Friday and will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime. The Eagles, reigning Super Bowl champions, have a challenging season ahead, with this game being one of the few disclosed dates alongside their Week 1 clash against the Dallas Cowboys and a Week 16 game with the Washington Commanders. Despite speculation about rising quarterback Caleb Williams and coach Ben Johnson leading the Bears against the Eagles earlier, the Week 1 spot went to the Cowboys. The Eagles last faced the Bears in December 2022, securing a narrow victory under harsh conditions at Soldier Field, and they still await announcements for six more home games for the 2025 season.
