The Philadelphia Eagles have once again claimed the title of Super Bowl champions after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, and the city is preparing for an unforgettable celebration. Fans across the region are gearing up for a massive parade to honor the team’s victory. If you're planning to join in the festivities, here’s a complete guide to the event.
What time does the Super Bowl parade start?
The Eagles' Super Bowl parade will kick off promptly at 11 a.m. ET on Friday, February 14, at the intersection of Broad and Pattison Avenues in South Philadelphia. Players, coaches, and staff will be riding on open-air buses, providing fans with a chance to cheer on their champions as the streets of Philly turn green in celebration.
What time does the Super Bowl parade end?
While the parade starts at 11 a.m., festivities are expected to wrap up by 3 p.m. ET. Speeches will begin around 2 p.m. at the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art, where city leaders and team members will address the enthusiastic crowd.
What is the ideal time for fans to reach the Super Bowl parade?
If you’re hoping to secure a good spot, it’s best to arrive early. Fans are expected to start gathering by 6 a.m., particularly near the Rocky Steps where the speeches will take place. For the best views, aim to arrive just as the sun rises.
Road closures begin early
To accommodate the parade, road closures will begin as early as Tuesday, February 11. Major traffic restrictions will be in place starting Thursday at 6 p.m., and they will remain in effect until Friday evening. Be prepared for significant delays if you're traveling by car.
SEPTA service: free rides and convenient schedules
Public transportation is a great option for parade-goers. SEPTA trains on the Broad Street Line and Market-Frankford Line will run every 6-8 minutes beginning just before 5 a.m. Regional Rail will operate inbound-only in the morning and will switch to outbound-only service after the parade. Thanks to Kevin Hart’s tequila brand, Gran Coramino, rides are free for the day.
Speeches at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
The official speeches will commence around 2 p.m. ET in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Expect to hear from Eagles players, coaches, and potentially Mayor Cherelle Parker, who recently made headlines for an unfortunate slip-up involving the Eagles chant.

Cell service disruptions expected
With over a million people expected to attend the parade, cell service may become spotty. City officials have warned that peak hours, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., could lead to unreliable service. If you're meeting up with friends or family, be sure to plan a designated meeting spot in advance.
Leaving the parade: plan for delays
With such a large crowd, delays are inevitable. After the parade, SEPTA will operate outbound-only Regional Rail service, but expect long lines at key stations like 30th Street and Jefferson Station. Plan accordingly to avoid the rush.
The Eagles Super Bowl parade is more than just a celebration of a great victory; it’s a powerful display of Philadelphia’s pride and unity. If you want to be part of the action, don’t snooze on Friday morning—Philly will transform into a sea of green at 11 a.m. sharp.
