Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl parade date confirmed with city set for historic party after win over Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles will celebrate their Super Bowl triumph at a parade in the city on Friday, it has been announced.

Philadelphia is in party mode after the Eagles thrashed the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, with quarterback Jalen Hurts the hero in a dominant 40-22 win over the back-to-back champions in New Orleans.

Hurts and his teammates are now set to return home and parade the Vince Lombardi Trophy through the city, with a historic celebration scheduled for Friday, February 14.

‘Together, with the @Eagles, we will reveal more details soon,’ the city of Philadelphia wrote on X when announcing the date.

Eagles supporters will get the chance to party with the team five days on from their beatdown of the Chiefs in Louisiana.

Kansas City had the chance to become the first team in history to win three straight Super Bowls, but Patrick Mahomes – who threw two costly interceptions on a rare off-night – was ultimately outshined by his rival quarterback.

Hurts produced one of the best performances of his career to date on the biggest stage possible, completing 17 of his 22 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns.

The 26-year-old also rushed for 72 yards and a touchdown as Philadelphia cruised to the most one-sided of Super Bowl victories in recent memory.
