2025 Philadelphia Eagles Playoffs Guide

PHILADELPHIA, January 16, 2025 – After an incredible 14-3 regular season — and an exciting Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers — the unflappable Jalen Hurts, low-key bookworm AJ Brown, star newcomer Saquon Barley and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles have secured home-field advantage during the divisional round — meaning the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC continues through South Philly.

The Birds now find themselves just two victories away from a trip to the 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans. Next up: a huge matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, January 19, 2025 at 3 p.m.

To inform your coverage needs, here’s an essential guide to pop-ups, exclusive promos and limited-edition snacks, plus where fans can watch and what to wear ahead of game day.

Eagles Pop-Ups & Promos in Philadelphia

Betsy Ross House: $1 Off Admission

During the Eagles’ entire playoff run, visitors to the Betsy Ross House in Old City get $1 off admission for all in-person ticket purchases. Just show up decked out in your favorite Eagles gear.

The Bird Dog from Dietz & Watson

Dietz & Watson’s mean, green meal deal is back: cheese-covered hot dogs served on green buns. Did we mention they’re free and served out of a giant, roving Birds-mobile? The truck slings the limited edition Bird Dogs (along with free gear!) at spots throughout the city ahead of each playoff showdown. The hot dogs — served up on Kelly green rolls — are topped with long hots, provolone cheese and crunchy fried onions. Check the official website to see where the Bird Dog mobile will be popping up this week.

Limited-Edition Snacks & More Food

Pretzels

Sturdy and salty on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside, the Philly soft pretzel is a thing of wonder. Grab a couple, a dozen or a couple dozen for your Eagles tailgate or viewing party.

  • Philly Pretzel Factory: Yeah, it’s a chain, but Philly Pretzel Factory pretzels are quintessential. With some 30 locations in the Greater Philadelphia area alone, this is a go-to spot for Philly party planners. Plus, this playoffs run: Buy five pretzels and get five free at participating locations (various locations including 1532 Sansom Street).

Sweet Treats

Satisfy your sweet tooth with Eagles-themed treats from these local shops.

  • Isgro Pastries: A Philly institution since 1904, Isgro Pastries is one of the rare Philly businesses with a history pre-dating the Birds themselves. Stop into the South Philly location for tailgate treats like Eagles cookies, cupcakes and — of course — a cannoli or two … dozen (1009 Christian Street).
  • Federal Donuts & Chicken: Pop into any Fed Nuts location during the Eagles’ playoff run for one of the limited-edition dyed donuts. Or be the MVP of your tailgate party by tacking on some coffee, wings and crispy chicken sandwiches (various locations including 22 Wolf Street).

Cheesesteaks

Success in the postseason is all about fundamentals. Don’t overthink it: Stick to the basics, and grab Philly’s most famous sandwich at one of the spots below, or check out our full guide to where to find the best cheesesteaks in Philadelphia.

  • Angelo’s Pizzeria South Philadelphia: Yes, the pizza is great, but this South Philly shop also serves up some of the best cheesesteaks around. Finely sliced steak, onions and gooey cheese (your choice of Whiz, cooper sharp, American or provolone) are piled high on a seeded Sarcone’s Bakery roll (736 S. 9th Street).
  • Pat’s King of Steaks: The original home of the cheesesteak, this spot’s claim to fame is that its founder, Pat Olivieri, invented the steak sandwich in 1930. Since then, Pat’s has grown from a little stand at the southern end of South Philly’s Italian Market to one of the most famous cheesesteak shops in the world (1237 E. Passyunk Avenue).
  • Geno’s Steaks: It may be across the street from the oldest cheesesteak joint in town, but Geno’s Steaks is a formidable competitor, going roll-for-roll with Pat’s for decades and fueling friendly competition at the cheesesteak capital of the world. The key to success for the 24/7 spot? Quality thinly sliced rib-eye steak for maximum juiciness, the freshest of onions and house-made bread. Oh, and you can’t miss it: Just follow the neon lights (1219 S. 9th Street).

Hoagies

The Birds are on a roll. And so are these delicious Philly sandwiches that come piled high with meat, cheese and all the fixins. You can’t go wrong with a game day sandwich (or party tray) from these hoagie spots. Hungry for more? Check out our complete guide to where to find the best hoagies in Philadelphia.

  • PrimoHoagies: A shop that got its start in South Philly, PrimoHoagies has expanded immensely in recent years. The sandwich chain has elevated the hoagie with a long list of delicious variants. There are multiple locations across the Philadelphia region, offering one-off sandwiches and plenty of catering options (various locations including 1528 Ritner Street).
  • Cosmi’s Deli: Open since 1932, this tiny corner deli in South Philly churns out some of the best cheesesteaks, hoagies and roast pork sandwiches in Philadelphia. With more than a dozen hoagies on the menu, it can be tough to choose. Pro tip: Order a hoagie tray to sample them all (1501 S. 8th Street).
  • Fink’s: Self-dubbed the “King of Gourmet Hoagies,” Fink’s offers its signature hoagie (the Original Italian) with two secret weapons: coteghino (fresh pork sausage) and a secret olive spread. The other gourmet hoagies, named for Northeast neighborhoods, similarly elevate traditional recipes with creative touches. The family-owned shop prides itself on offering affordable hoagie trays that can accommodate any party size (4633 Princeton Avenue).
