In the last decade, the Philadelphia Eagles have emerged as one of the NFL's premier franchises, and they will play in their third Super Bowl since the 2017 season in February.
On Sunday, February 9, 2025, they will make their fourth-ever Super Bowl appearance.
The last time the Philadelphia Eagles played in a Super Bowl was in the 2022 season, when they lost by a 38-35 score to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. The Birds will face KC yet again in the 2024 season's big game.
That Super Bowl was one of the most thrilling in recent times, and was the third-highest scoring in history with 73 combined points.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 304 yards and a touchdown and ran for 70 yards and three touchdowns – the most rush yards and rush TD ever by a QB in a Super Bowl – but he also lost a first-half fumble that the Chiefs picked up and took back for a TD.
Philadelphia led 24-14 at halftime, but the Chiefs clawed back and ultimately took the lead through a Harrison Butker 27-yard field goal – set up by a defensive holding penalty by the Eagles - with eight seconds left.
Before that, the last time Philly reached the Super Bowl was in the 2017 season, beating the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl LII for the first championship in franchise history.
The Birds also made the 2004 and 1980 Super Bowls, in which they lost to the Patriots and Oakland Raiders, respectively.
The Super Bowl LII win means the Birds are no longer on the list of teams who had been active since the beginning of the Super Bowl era but have never lifted the Lombardi Trophy. The Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are the only remaining teams who were founded before the first Super Bowl (1966) and still have not won it.
Before the Super Bowl era - which began when the NFL and AFL merged in the mid-1960s - the Eagles won NFL Championships in 1948, 1949 and 1960.
