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
Along the parade route, 15 Jumbotron screens will display live footage and replays of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl win. Before the main parade, a pre-parade procession of 30 school buses carrying special guests will also make its way toward the Art Museum.
Road Closures And Parking Restrictions
Expect major road closures along the parade route. The city announced that closures will primarily affect Broad Street up to City Hall and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway leading to the Art Museum. Most restrictions will be in place from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Friday.
Additional details include:
- Public schools and courts remain closed on parade day.
- Officials will not enforce parking meter and time-limit regulations, but they will issue fines for safety violations like blocking fire hydrants.
- The city’s official website provides a detailed list of on-street parking restrictions.
How To Watch The Parade
For those unable to attend in person, the NFL Network will broadcast the Philadelphia Eagles’ parade live, and it will also be available for streaming on NFL.com. Local station Fox 29 will provide coverage for viewers in the Philadelphia area.
Public Transportation And SEPTA Service
To accommodate the massive crowd, SEPTA will operate on a modified schedule with free rides on certain lines sponsored by Gran Coramino. Key details include:
- Market-Frankford Line and Broad Street Line: Running every 6 to 8 minutes all day, with free rides available.
- Regional Rail Lines: Running on a limited, modified schedule from 4:30 a.m. to 10:50 p.m. (fares must be purchased in advance).
- Bus detours: Starting Thursday night, major detours will be in place on Broad Street, City Hall, and the Parkway.
What To Expect At The Philadelphia Eagles’ Parade
The city is expecting over one million fans, potentially exceeding the 1.4 million who attended the 2018 parade. Philadelphia Eagles fans can look forward to speeches from Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and other key players and coaches.
There is speculation that former Eagles players and Philadelphia celebrities might make appearances. Jason Kelce, famous for his passionate speech in 2018, could also be part of the celebration.
Safety Guidelines And Fan Recommendations
City officials have outlined safety protocols for the parade:
- Do not climb light poles (Mayor Cherelle Parker emphasized this in her statement).
- Law enforcement will be present to prevent any disorderly behavior.
- Wheelchair-accessible viewing areas will be available at Eakins Oval.
- ASL translators will be present for the speaking portions.
- A mobile sensory unit and designated areas will be available for fans with autism.
- Fans are encouraged to dress warmly and bring water.
- Portable toilets will be stationed along the parade route, including at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the Philly Flush Center City Public Restroom at 15th and Arch Streets.
Philadelphia is ready to celebrate the Eagles’ second Super Bowl win in franchise history. Whether you’re attending in person or watching from home, Friday promises to be a memorable day for Eagles fans.
