A Winning Culture
In 2023, Philadelphia advanced to the playoffs for a third straight season and 18th time overall under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership (dating back to 1994). Since 2000, the Eagles are tied for the 2nd-most postseason appearances (16) in the league, trailing only New England (18).
Philadelphia reached the playoffs in six of the last seven seasons (2017-19, ’21-23). The only other window in team history when Philadelphia made the playoffs six times in a seven-year span was under Andy Reid (2000-04, ’06).
Nick Sirianni is the first head coach in franchise history to earn trips to the postseason in each of his first three years with the team.
Since being hired in 2000, Executive Vice President and General Manager Howie Roseman has cemented himself as one of the top executives in the NFL. The two-time NFL Executive of the Year has overseen 16 playoff berths, 16 playoff victories, and 10 NFC East crowns.

Eagles Everywhere
We have millions of passionate Eagles fans across the world who support us every week. The Eagles have sold out every home game since Lincoln Financial Field first opened in 2003. Not only do our avid fans support us at home, but they travel with us on the road.
“I know how passionate they are, how much excitement they have, and how knowledgeable they are on the game of football,” Nick Sirianni said. “It’s awesome having them. When you have a home game, it makes a huge, huge difference. It feels like some places we go, if not all places we go, we have a big difference of how many fans that we have at away games. I get it; it’s something that’s passed down from each family member. It’s an electric place, it’s an electric stadium, and it’s an electric fan base. If you are not passionate and you’re an Eagles fan, I don’t know if you truly are an Eagles fan. I just love how much energy our fans bring our team during a game, that’s home and away games.”
Also, the Eagles are one of the most nationally televised teams in the NFL, and Philadelphia is the 4th largest television market in the country.
