Due to the new turf installation at Lincoln Financial Field, the kickoff time for the Eagles vs. Giants matchup has been adjusted to protect the pristine field.
The highly anticipated Week 8 “Sunday Night Football” clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants has a new kickoff time. The NFL announced that, due to the recent installation of new turf at Lincoln Financial Field, the game’s start time has been rescheduled to protect the pristine playing surface. Originally set for an earlier slot, the matchup will now kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 26, 2025.
This game carries extra weight as it reignites the classic NFC East rivalry, with the Eagles looking to extend their dominance over the Giants. Philadelphia, sitting at 5-1 and leading the NFC East, is chasing a fourth straight win under Jalen Hurts to solidify their grip on the division and the NFC’s top spot. Meanwhile, the 2-4 Giants, led by rookie QB Malik Nabers’ breakout performances, are desperate for an upset to spark a turnaround and stay in the wildcard hunt.
