Two days after the completion of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Eagles are scheduled to attend a ceremony at the White House honoring the 2024 champions for their win over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans last month.
“I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn’t sent or was sent, we want to correct the record: we sent an invitation, they enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28,” White House press secretary Karoline Levitt said Tuesday.
The Eagles did not attend the White House after winning Super Bowl LII in 2018. President Donald Trump, then serving his first term, called off the event after learning several prominent players planned not to attend. Only four players from the 2018 Super Bowl champion were on the roster for the 2024 season and latest Lombardi Trophy.
The 2024 Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers visited the White House in February.
