The Eagles’ Super Bowl 2025 celebration may include the White House after all.

Reports surfaced over the weekend that the team would skip a visit to D.C. to be feted by President Trump, but they were seemingly premature.

As per several NFL insiders, the team is eager to participate in the White House visit, a customary tradition for champions in professional North American sports leagues.

The invites, however, “haven’t even gone out,” a White House official told The Post.

One source mentioned to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer on Monday that they would feel privileged to go to the White House. They had been anticipating this opportunity and eagerly await the official invitation.

When the Eagles won in 2018, several players opted not to attend, citing Trump’s comments about players who protested during the national anthem.

Despite planning to send a contingency of players and personnel, the White House rescinded the invitation the night before the visit was scheduled.

While individual players will be allowed to make their own decisions once again, the Eagles will be making the trek to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

This visit would reciprocate the gesture made by Trump, as he was the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. However, he departed at halftime when Philadelphia was leading 24-0 on their way to a 40-22 victory.

Only four players from the 2018 Super Bowl team remain on the Eagles roster: kicker Jake Elliott, defensive end Brandon Graham, tackle Lane Johnson and long-snapper Rick Lovato.

The Florida Panthers, the 2024 Stanley Cup champions, became the first team to visit the White House in Trump’s second term as President on Feb. 3.
