Time Change Watch: Eagles vs. Raiders Week 15 — Kickoff Time Under Review as Winter Weather Threatens Lincoln Financial Field

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Week 15 brings a cross-conference matchup as the Las Vegas Raiders travel east to face the Philadelphia Eagles, but winter weather moving into the Mid-Atlantic has placed the kickoff time under close watch heading into Sunday.

According to the latest National Weather Service outlook for the Philadelphia area, Sunday (Dec. 14, 2025) could feature cold temperatures, gusty winds, and periods of snow, raising concerns about travel conditions, stadium operations, and overall game-day readiness at Lincoln Financial Field.

Daytime temperatures are currently forecast to sit in the low 30s°F, with wind chills making it feel significantly colder. Snow showers during the morning hours could complicate access to the stadium and slow pregame field preparation.

Schedule Status: Still On — Closely Monitored

At this time, the game remains on its original schedule, with kickoff set for:

Raiders at Eagles
Sunday, December 14, 2025
Kickoff: 1:00 p.m. ET
Lincoln Financial Field — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

That said, league officials have made it clear that a short delay remains possible should overnight snowfall or worsening conditions require additional time for safety checks, snow removal, or transportation access.

Why a Delay Is Being Considered

An open-air stadium combined with winter weather can create more than just discomfort. Officials are monitoring several potential issues, including:

• Snow-covered roads, parking lots, and walkways

The NFL is working alongside the Eagles, Raiders, city officials, and broadcast partners to evaluate conditions hour by hour rather than making premature adjustments.

Any potential time change would be aimed at:

• Allowing extra time for snow and ice clearance

What Fans Should Expect

Even if kickoff remains unchanged, fans should prepare for a cold, windy afternoon typical of December football in Philadelphia. Dressing in layers, planning extra travel time, and staying alert for updates is strongly recommended.

Bottom Line

• Kickoff is still scheduled for Sunday afternoon

What was already a physical matchup now carries the added challenge of winter football conditions — a scenario that often defines late-season games in Philadelphia.
