The Philadelphia Eagles are a professional American football team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Eagles compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the National Football Conference (NFC) East Division.[2] The team has played its home games at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia since 2003.[1] On July 8, 1933, the NFL granted an expansion franchise to Bert Bell and Lud Wray and awarded them the assets of the failed Frankford Yellow Jackets organization, with Bell and Wray naming their team the Eagles after the symbol of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal.[3][4]

The Eagles have won four league titles, three of which (1948, 1949, and 1960) pre-date the existence of the Super Bowl. The fourth and most recent championship was Super Bowl LII, the team's third of four Super Bowl appearances.[5][6] The Eagles' four championships are tied for the tenth most total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchises.[7] With their victory in Super Bowl LII, the NFC East became the first and only division where every team in it has won at least one Super Bowl.[8] No division has had all of its member make multiple Super Bowl appearances, except for the NFC East, the members of which have all appeared in at least four Super Bowls.[9]

The Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers, another NFL team from Pennsylvania, combined to form the "Steagles" (officially known as the "Phil-Pitt Combine") for the 1943 NFL season. The two franchises were compelled to field a single combined team because both had lost many players to military service during World War II. The team dissolved following the 1944 season, with all players and coaches returning to the team they were on prior to the temporary merger.[10][11][12]

As of the end of the 2023 season, the Eagles have an all-time record of 624 wins, 636 losses, and 27 ties in the regular season, with an additional 25 wins and 26 losses in the playoffs.[4][13][14] The team has had 42 winning seasons, 44 losing seasons, and 5 having as many wins as losses.[15] The Eagles are currently undefeated against the Houston Texans and are 6–0 in the series.[16]
