The Philadelphia Eagles do plan on visiting the White House to celebrate their second Super Bowl victory, if and when they receive an invitation, according to multiple reports.
Both NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter simultaneously reported the Eagles would be 'honored' to visit the Trump White House.
'It’s one of the aspects of winning they are excited about and look forward to receiving the invitation,' Rapoport wrote on X.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Eagles spokespeople for confirmation.
There had been speculation online the team would skip a meeting with President Donald Trump, with a number of conservatives including Megyn Kelly mistakenly slamming the Eagles for the rumored decision.
Now, though, the Eagles appear headed to the Trump White House for the first time, despite previously winning the Lombardi Trophy during his first term in 2018. Responding to rumors of a potential player boycott at the time, Trump disinvited the team from the customary White House visit amid his war with the NFL over players protesting during the national anthem.
'The Philadelphia Eagles are unable to come to the White House with their full team to be celebrated tomorrow,' read a 2018 Trump statement. '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.

Sounds like somebody put out a trial balloon, and found out.
Trump backed Kansas City and Taylor Swift? I never heard that.
I wonder if the previous member who posted a thread stating that the Eagles refused to visit the White House would come forward to apologize......
No, since they dont like the sport, they won’t. OR they would just find a way to belittle it more.
And there’s lots of reasons...its WOKE agenda, the sports commercials more and more make it seem that white men are like unicorns...heard of but not real :)
They put stupid words in the end zones during the superbowl.
Their superbowl halftime shows are getting so bad that the next one will just be tbemed “I HATE AMERICA”
But I’m 56, no kids, not the most thrilling job and a quiet life.
I don’t have incredibly varied interests and I LOVE NFL football...it is played at a level and ferocity of no other sport that exists.
The athleticism is beyond words and it’s fun to watch.
I stopped for 3 years after the kneeling stuff.
I won’t stop now. They still support the militaary, or at least give lip service...and as long as one just watches the game and doesn’t get lost in the politics...it’s a lot of fun.
Let he who uses NO liberal company’s product cast the first stone :)
Stop it. It was all over the place. You forgot your heavily needed sarc tag.
I hope they play Hotel California.
He could care less about Swift.
Trump was all about the game...and the first President to attend the Super Bowl.
Then it became obvious that they were fixing the games.
I will no longer follow the soap opera.
Somebody’s arm got twisted, just behind the scenes.
Who’s arm was it?
Nothing to do with Swift. He guessed that the Chiefs would win based on their experience.
I saw the headline, and I thought it was the music group
The Eagles, or those remaining members. That would have been
fantastic!!
“Jesus. Man. Could you change the channel?”
F*** You Man! You dont like my music get your own F**king cab. LOL!
LOL!
LOL!
I saw they refused on ten different websites. And you are demanding an apology. Cool.
He didn’t “back them”. He was asked who he thought would win and he said he thought the Chiefs were more likely. That’s not the same as rooting for them.
That’s great.
"What?"
"Say again?!"
