The first time Trump was in office, the Eagles did not accept the invitation when they won Super Bowl LII in 2018. That year, President Trump rescinded the team's invitation to visit at the last minute as some players planned to boycott the event. After the Eagles declined, no other NFL team has gone to the White House after winning the Super Bowl.

President Trump said that he will invite the Eagles to visit the White House after winning the Super Bowl over the Chiefs.

President Donald Trump has said he will invite the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House to celebrate their recent Super Bowl win, despite rumours that the champions may decline the invitation. "Absolutely, they'll be extended an invitation," Trump said in the Oval Office on Tuesday. "They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them."

The Eagles were disinvited after their previous Super Bowl triumph following the 2017 season. A day after reports emerged that the Philadelphia Eagles would accept an invitation to the White House, President Donald Trump said one would be forthcoming.

According to a report Sunday in The U.S. Sun, the United States version of the British tabloid, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to skip the White House visit.

Eagles sources say the team is planning on visiting the White House this off-season and looks forward to receiving its invitation.

I thought it was a great performance by them — they’ll be extended that invitation,” Trump told reporters from the Oval Office Tuesday.

Maybe the Eagles will be going to the White House after all. That's because on Monday, the NFL Network reported, citing team sources, that the Super Bowl champion Eagles "would be honored to visit The White House" after conversations Monday.

The team hasn't been formally invited by President Trump, a source with knowledge of the discussions tells Axios.
