History of the Philadelphia Eagles

The History of the Philadelphia Eagles begins when the franchise was founded in 1933. Since the team's establishment, the Eagles have appeared in five Super Bowls, losing their first two appearances, Super Bowl XV (1981) and XXXIX (2005) as well as their fourth, Super Bowl LVII (2022), and winning their third, Super Bowl LII (2017), and fifth, Super Bowl LIX (2024). The Eagles have won three out of the four NFL championships (won pre-1966, before the AFL–NFL merger) that they have appeared in, with the first three appearances being sequential.

The early years of the Eagles history from 1933 to 1939 were influenced by its owner and coach, Bert Bell. After Bell sold the team to Alexis Thompson in 1940, the second era of the Eagles was largely directed by their coach and future Hall of Famer, Greasy Neale.
