Go Birds! It’s a rallying cry and prideful greeting in a town that lives, eats and bleeds green. Wanna know if someone’s a true Philadelphian? Just yell it on the streets.
The Philadelphia Eagles, established in 1933, provide the pulse for the city. When they are winning, everyone is happy — and they know how to win.
The Eagles have appeared in three Super Bowls since 2018 while hoisting two Vince Lombardi Trophies during that span, including a dominant 40-22 rout in Super Bowl LIX.
Overall, the Eagles own five world championships: two Super Bowls (2018, 2025) along with three NFL titles (1948, 1949, 1960).
Read on for a guide to the Philadelphia Eagles, Lincoln Financial Field and attending a game in Philly.
The Philadelphia Eagles host nine regular-season home games at Lincoln Financial Field this year:
Bonus: Fancy a hop across the pond? The Eagles take on the Jacksonville Jaguars during an international game on Sunday, October 11, 2026 (Week 5) in London.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts set the tone when he dropped the 2026 motto: “100% alignment and zero entitlement.” That means check your ego at the door.
Hurts leads an offense oozing with talent. His chemistry with top wide receiver DeVonta Smith and star tight end Dallas Goedert is undeniable, emboldened by newcomers Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks.
Running back Saquon Barkley heads up an explosive backfield with right tackle (and future Hall of Fame prospect) Lane Johnson returning to anchor one of the NFL’s best offensive lines. Watch out for left tackle Jordan Mailata (a Visit Philadelphia favorite) clearing the lane.
Linebacker Zack Baun paces the defense with non-stop energy. Defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis wall off the middle while speedy pass rushers Nolan Smith Jr. and Jalyx Hunt stalk quarterbacks off the edge. Cornerback Quinyon Mitchell helps shut down passes, with hybrid safety Cooper DeJean covering the rest.
Expectations? High. They always are in this town.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ home base, Lincoln Financial Field — known to locals as the Linc — opened to the public in 2003. Sporting refreshed infrastructure for 2026, the Eagles’ nest is one of the most technologically sophisticated and eco-friendly stadiums in the NFL.
The stadium holds nearly 70,000 fans, featuring extra-wide concourses, two massive Panasonic video boards in each end zone and another 1,200 LED screens. It also houses over 300 concession stands, with more than 170 luxury and club suites.
Sustainability-wise, the stadium features over 10,000 solar panels and holds an elite LEED Platinum certification from the Green Building Council.
Game day is a bucket-list scene, especially if it’s a huge rivalry like Eagles vs. Cowboys or Eagles vs. Giants. Need convincing? In 2026, Philly was voted the Best NFL City in the U.S.
Wander around Pepsi Plaza and the Miller Lite Tailgate Zone. This popular fan area is filled with activation tents — look for photo ops with Swoop and Lincoln! — along with ever-changing mural walls created by talented local artists.
Take a selfie at the “Philly Special” statue (near Lot K), which shows Nick Foles asking Doug Pederson if he should run the one of the most fabled plays in Eagles’ history.
Shop Eagles gear at the Eagles Pro Shop (inside Pepsi Plaza). The Eagles’ ticket office, plus the members-only Red Zone Lounge and Red Zone Suites, are located nearby.
Plus, FanDuel Lounge, an all-inclusive VIP area with unlimited food, is located near the player tunnels, allowing guests to see their favorite stars running out onto the field.
Iconic Philly Foods & Beverage Partners
Let’s cut to the chase: You won’t have any problem finding a cheesesteak. Look for venerable stands like Philip’s Cheesesteaks and Philly Cheesesteak Co.
Or, opt for the new South Philly Special Cheesesteak, featuring shaved ribeye, caramelized onions and Cooper sharp on a seeded Amoroso roll (Sections 126, 129, 138).
Other Philly favorites include:
Liberty Bell Tap sells imported and local beers. Gran Coramino Bar slings cocktails using Kevin Hart’s tequila brand.
Also, look for the Jameson Bar (Sections 105, 106) and Bud Light Zone (Section 122).
Section 217 is an alcohol-free family section. There are water fountains all over the concourse.

Since the Linc is an open-air stadium, be ready for inclement weather, including rain, sleet and snow. Dress appropriately. Seasonal forecasts vary.
What’s a tailgate? Imagine a cookout turned up to the max. You’ll see fans dressed in bizarre costumes, amid a sea of green, as groups randomly yell “E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!”
The seasons dictate the food menus, too. (Don’t be surprised to see people deep-frying turkeys during the holidays.) Others include chili cook-offs, pig roasts, cheesesteaks and more.
Tailgate lots open at 6 a.m. for 1 p.m. kickoffs, or seven hours prior. Designated tailgate areas include Lots E, F, J, K, L, M and N, plus the FDR Lot. Always check the official website before you go, as stadium policies can change.

Eagles Pro Shop, inside Pepsi Plaza, is open regularly, but you must have a ticket for entry on game days. There are numerous merch stalls inside the stadium.
For Eagles gear beyond the Linc, check out these fashionable local businesses:
The Eagles are perennial contenders, soaring to new heights under current owner Jeffrey Lurie.
They boast five NFC championships and 14 NFC East titles, along with 32 postseason appearances since 1947, winning 21 playoff games since Lurie bought the team in 1994.
The seeds of success were first sowed under coach Earle “Greasy” Neale, who guided the Eagles to back-to-back NFL championships in 1948 and 1949. Hall of Fame running back Steve Van Buren paved the way for future rushing greats like LeSean McCoy, Brian Westbrook and Wilbert Montgomery.
Fast forward to 1960. Chuck Bednarik stopped Jim Taylor as time expired to secure the team’s third championship.
The Eagles turned to Dick Vermeil in 1976. He got the franchise to its first Super Bowl in 1981 while winning over fans with his heart-on-his-sleeve press conferences. His decision to hold an open tryout launched the legend of Vince Papale, whose unlikely story inspired the 2006 film Invincible.
Enter the Buddy Ryan era. From 1986 to 1991, head coach Buddy Ryan unleashed generational pass rushers like Reggie White and Jerome Brown. Despite not winning a playoff game, the 1991 Eagles’ defense is one of the greatest defensive units in history.
One of the Eagles’ most iconic players, star quarterback Randall Cunningham supplied the offensive highlights from 1985 to 1995. He redefined the quarterback position, combining raw speed and athleticism (see: this leaping touchdown) with awe-inspiring arm strength (see: this 95-yard bomb).
The Eagles hired head coach Andy Reid in 1999. He guided the Eagles to a 140-102-1 record from 1999 to 2012 while taking them to five conference championships and one Super Bowl.
While Reid never won the big one with the Eagles, he mentored some of the franchise’s greatest players over 14 seasons, including Donovan McNabb, Nick Foles, Jason Kelce, Brian Dawkins, Brandon Graham, Brian Westbrook, Jeremiah Trotter and Terrell Owens.
The Eagles would wait 58 years to hoist their first Lombardi Trophy, beating the New England Patriots in 2018 for the franchise’s first title in the Super Bowl era.
Nick Foles earned Super Bowl MVP honors that year — under head coach Doug Pederson — after out-duelling Tom Brady in one of the greatest games ever played.
Seven years later, Jalen Hurts brought the trophy back home after upsetting the Kansas City Chiefs — and Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP.
Head coach Nick Sirianni continues to stroll the Eagles’ sideline. He holds a 59-26 record, going 6-4 in the postseason (including two Super Bowl berths and one win).
