Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says the team has turned the page on Super Bowl LIX celebrations, with one exception remaining: a White House visit scheduled for April 28. After a dominant victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles received an invitation from President Donald Trump to celebrate their championship in Washington, D.C.
Sirianni, speaking during a break at the NFL’s annual meetings, called the visit an “honor.” He noted the tradition of championship teams visiting the White House and expressed genuine excitement about the opportunity. “What an honor to be able to go to the White House,” Sirianni said. “Teams that have been able to win championships have been doing that for a long time, and I’m really honored to go.”
The upcoming visit marks a significant cultural moment as well. With Trump back in office, this is the first Super Bowl-winning team to be hosted during his second term. The Eagles’ previous White House invitation under the Trump administration in 2018 was canceled due to political disagreements. This time, the team has fully embraced the moment.
The anticipated meeting between Sirianni and Trump is drawing interest beyond the football world. Both men are known for their bold personalities, strong stage presence, and ability to energize crowds. The visit is expected to reflect those dynamics, providing a boost for Eagles fans and Trump supporters alike.
The Eagles’ championship capped off a dominant season, and their visit to the White House serves as a celebratory bookend to a historic run. While the team shifts its focus to the next season, the April 28 celebration stands as a final tribute to their Super Bowl triumph.
