Overview

  • The Philadelphia Eagles attended a White House ceremony on April 28, 2025, to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
  • Star quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Super Bowl MVP, did not attend, with the White House citing scheduling conflicts as the official reason.
  • Running back Saquon Barkley participated in the event and spent the prior day golfing with President Trump at his New Jersey club before traveling to Washington together.
  • This marks the Eagles' first White House visit after their 2018 invitation was rescinded by Trump due to disagreements over national anthem protests.
  • Team owner Jeffrey Lurie emphasized that attendance was optional, framing the visit as a longstanding tradition rather than a political statement.
