Among the many things asked to Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni after Super Bowl 2025 is whether his team will visit the White House. His answer has fans convinced no team trip to Washington DC is in the works. 

The Eagles are now the first team to win a professional sports championship during the second Presidential term of Donald Trump, with a visit to the White House commonplace in American sports. 

That is, it was common until Trump first took office in 2017, when many who disagreed with him politically did not want to rub elbows with the President. 

That included the Eagles in 2018, with Trump canceling their visit the day before it was supposed to take place after Philadelphia notified the White House a smaller delegation of players was set to attend. 

Trump’s rhetoric has not changed for his second go-round in the Oval Office, although the Eagles have a new head coach in Sirianni. His answer about the Eagles’ plans to go to the White House on Sunday night was non-committal at best. 

‘I don’t even know.  We’ll see as we go,’ Sirianni said. ‘We’re going to enjoy this tonight, we’ll enjoy it tomorrow, we’ll enjoy it the next day. We don’t have to get ready for another game. So can’t wait to celebrate this with the guys and celebrate this with my family. It takes a lot of people to be in this spot. Love this team., love these guys.’

NFL fans are convinced the Philadelphia Eagles will not go to the White House again this year

The Eagles did not have a ceremony the last time Trump was in office for their last тιтle

Sirianni will likely be in on the decision whether the Eagles buck their trend and make their way south to meet with Trump. 

Trump was at the Super Bowl for the first half in New Orleans on Sunday night and received a more favorable reaction from the crowd compared to Taylor Swift. 

Seven years ago, Trump did bash the Eagles for their decision to not have the team’s full roster come to the White House.

‘The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow. They disagree with their President because he insists that they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart, in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country,’ a 2018 Trump statement read.  

‘The Eagles wanted to send a smaller delegation, but the 1,000 fans planning to attend the event deserve better. These fans are still invited to the White House to be part of a different type of ceremony – one that will honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem. I will be there at 3:00 p.m. with the United States Marine Band and the United States Army Chorus to celebrate America.’

The Eagles replied with their own statement, knowing their decision was going to split their fan base.

‘It has been incredibly thrilling to celebrate our first Super Bowl Championship. Watching the entire Eagles community come together has been an inspiration. We are truly grateful for all of the support we have received and we are looking forward to continuing our preparations for the 2018 season,’ an Eagles statement at the time read. 

The Eagles are not the first team to win a championship in Trump’s second term that usually coincides with a White House visit as Ohio State’s football team won a тιтle the night of Trump’s second inauguration.
