President Donald Trump will be attending Super Bowl LIX, the White House told The Epoch Times.
The National Football League (NFL) championship game at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9 will pit the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs have won the past two Super Bowls and are hoping for a third consecutive title, which would be a historic first.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the NFL, Chiefs, and Eagles for comment.
During his first term, Trump invited the Chiefs to visit the White House to celebrate their 2019 Super Bowl win, but the visit was canceled amid the COVID pandemic.
Before kickoff, Fox, which is broadcasting the game, will air an interview with Trump conducted by Fox News anchor Bret Baier.
Trump has attended numerous football games throughout his political career.
In October, Trump attended a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets in Pittsburgh after campaigning that day in Pennsylvania, a key presidential election state.
The month before, Trump attended a matchup between the University of Georgia and the University of Alabama in the latter state, where the president enjoys a strong support base.
A month after winning the Nov. 5 election, Trump attended the annual rivalry game between the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Military Academy held at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, home field of the Washington Commanders.
During the 2024 election campaign, Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker endorsed Trump.
“I’m supporting the president that’s going to be the most pro-life, and I think Donald Trump is the most pro-life president. That’s the most crucial topic for me,” he told Fox News.
“I want us to be fighting for the most vulnerable, fighting for the unborn, and that’s what we should prioritize.”
