The Washington Commanders had a remarkable 2024/25 season, exceeding most preseason expectations. Through impressive free agency moves, a stellar head coaching hire, and a successful 2024 draft, they finished with a 12-5 regular-season record. The Commanders then made it to the NFC championship game by defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions.
Although the Washington Commanders fell short in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, who went on to become the Super Bowl champions, it did not detract from their impressive season under head coach Dan Quinn. As the release of the 2025 schedule approaches, let’s delve into the leaks and rumors surrounding the Commanders’ upcoming fixtures.
According to Pro Grid, rumors suggest that the Washington Commanders will face off against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 and the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. While the Commanders did not play the Dolphins in 2024, they lost two games and won one against the Eagles.
The Week 16 matchup against the Eagles will be one to watch for Commanders fans as it could serve as a grudge match against the team that ended their Super Bowl hopes in 2024.

The Washington Commanders made a significant move by selecting Jayden Daniels with the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Daniels had a Pro Bowl-caliber season, leading his team to a deep postseason run and an appearance in the NFC championship game.
As the 2025 season approaches, the Commanders must prove that their success in 2024 was not a fluke. According to ESPN, the Washington Commanders have the joint seventh-best odds to win Super Bowl LX, with 16-1 odds to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Only a few teams, including the Eagles, Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Lions, and 49ers, have better odds than the Commanders.
In conclusion, the Washington Commanders are gearing up for another exciting season, with high expectations following their impressive performance in 2024. Fans can look forward to key matchups against the Dolphins and Eagles, as well as a challenging schedule against formidable opponents.
