The History of the Philadelphia Eagles begins in 1933.^[1] In their history, the Eagles have appeared in the Super Bowl four times, losing in their first two appearances but winning the third, Super Bowl LII, in 2018, and losing their fourth, Super Bowl LVII, in 2022.^[2] They won four out of the five NFL Championships they have been in, with the first three appearances happening in a row.^[3]

The early years of the Eagles history from 1933 to 1939 were influenced by its owner and coach, Bert Bell.^[4] 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.^[5]
