Philadelphia is celebrating once again! After the Eagles’ dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, the City of Brotherly Love is preparing for another massive championship parade.
If you’re planning to attend, here’s everything you need to know about the Philadelphia Eagles parade- date, route, road closures, and transportation options.
When Is The Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Parade?
The Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl parade is set for Friday, February 14, 2025. The city confirmed the date in a press conference, with the parade starting at 11 a.m. ET and concluding at approximately 3:15 p.m. ET. The event will end with speeches from players and coaches at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (the famous Rocky Steps).
The city decided to hold the parade on Friday due to weather conditions. Officials expected a small snowstorm earlier in the week, so they chose Friday for its sunny to partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 25 and 38 degrees.
Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Parade Route
The Eagles’ parade will follow the same route as the 2018 celebration:
- Starts at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue
- Moves north on Broad Street toward Philadelphia City Hall
- Loops around City Hall and heads toward Love Park
- Continues down the Benjamin Franklin Parkway
- Ends at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where a formal program with speeches begins at 2 p.m. ET
