The first time Trump was in office, the Eagles did not accept the invitation when they won Super Bowl LII in 2018. That year, President Trump rescinded the team's invitation to visit at the last minute as some players planned to boycott the event. After the Eagles declined, no other NFL team has gone to the White House after winning the Super Bowl.

The Philadelphia Eagles would be honored to visit the White House in celebration of their Super Bowl LIX win, a source with the team told CNN after rumors swept social media that the team had declined the traditional visit.
