About Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles: 2025 Roster, Players, Schedule, Super Bowl Wins and More

The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, playing in the NFC East division. They feature alongside the Washington Commanders, New York Giants, and Dallas Cowboys. The team has a storied history, highlighted by its Super Bowl LII victory in 2018. The team was not an early success, as it posted either one or two victories in seven of its first 10 seasons, but the hiring of head coach Earle (“Greasy”) Neale in 1941 marked the beginning of a turnaround in Philadelphia.

Eagles fans are known for their intense loyalty, making Lincoln Financial Field one of the toughest stadiums for visiting teams. The franchise has changed its home field three more times since claiming consecutive NFL championships. 'The Birds' or 'The Iggles' as they are known, feature prominently with the colors of silver, midnight green, and black. More so, they are one of the few NFL teams to have an official fight song

Historical Background of the Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles were founded in 1933 when the remains of the defunct Frankford Yellow Jackets franchise were sold to a syndicate of Philadelphia-based businessmen. The team was named the Eagles in honor of the National Recovery Administration’s eagle symbol, representing hope during the Great Depression. The Eagles claimed three NFL championships before the Super Bowl era. And won their first Super Bowl title in 2018 under head coach Doug Pederson.

The Philadelphia Eagles are privately owned by the Lurie family, with Jeffrey Lurie serving as the team's owner since 1994, when the Oscar-winning movie producer purchased the team 30 years ago from Norman Braman for a whopping $195 million. The Eagles operate as a traditional for-profit franchise, strategically investing in player development and stadium improvements. Despite private ownership, the Eagles actively support Philadelphia communities through initiatives like the Eagles Autism Foundation and Eagles Charitable Foundation.

Notable Milestones and Achievements

  • Founded in 1933, the Eagles were awarded an NFL franchise to replace the defunct Frankford Yellow Jackets.
  • NFL Champions before the Super Bowl era: 1948, 1949, and 1960, becoming the only team to defeat Vince Lombardi's Packers in a playoff.
  • Super Bowl LII Champions (2017 season) – Captured their first Lombardi Trophy by defeating the New England Patriots 41-33 behind Nick Foles, earning redemption after a long wait.
  • Super Bowl Appearances: Three total – Super Bowl XV (1980), Super Bowl XXXIX (2004), and Super Bowl LVII (2022).
  • NFC Championships: 1980, 2004, 2017, 2022 – placing them among the conference’s elite.
  • Consistent playoff success in the 2000s under Andy Reid, reaching the NFC Championship Game five times in eight seasons (2001–2008).
  • Known for strong defenses, particularly the “Gang Green” defense of the late 1980s and early 1990s, led by Reggie White and Jerome Brown.
  • Home Field Advantage at Lincoln Financial Field—one of the NFL’s most hostile and energized environments.
  • Produced numerous Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers, including Reggie White, Chuck Bednarik, Brian Dawkins, Jason Peters, and Jason Kelce.

As of 2025, the Eagles are entering a new chapter around a young, retooled core while remaining a perennial NFC contender.
