The Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl Lix Championship Parade begins late on Friday morning and is expected to reach a scene on the famous stairs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art at the early afternoon.
Eagles fans expect to channel their inner, triumphant jumping “rocky” whether they participate in the festivities or watch TV.
For supporters of someone other than the birds, the parade is suitable for imagination.
What if it was my team up there?
Well, don’t think anymore.
It can be quite early – Super Bowl Lin Santa Clara, California, is not set to start until February 8, 2026—and Missing the forefront of any upcoming free agency or draft development – but here is a look at five teams whose cities can plan parades at this time next year.
Philadelphia Eagles
Who doesn’t love a good sequel, “Rocky” or otherwise?
Although the Eagles are not immune to the usual challenges for free agent facing the reigning champion, there are plenty of important returnees, although general manager Howie Roseman’s employment to sign Mechi Becton and defensive ending Josh Sweat falls short.
Philly used dominant line games to smear and improve the twice defeated champion Kansas City Chief’s 40-22 on Sunday. The essence of both units will be back, as will the Super Bowl Lix MVP Jalen hurts, revival that runs back Saquon Barkley and the receiving tandem of Aj Brown and Devonta Smith.
“Philly Special” may not just be a legendary trick game in these parts.
Kansas City Chiefs

Dallas Cowboys 2001-04 New England Patriots and 1992-95 Dallas Cowboys as Franchises to win three Lombardi trophy for four seasons remain in play.
However, it will take a little to do, even for a team whose head coach, Andy Reid, and Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, boasts with resume speaking for themselves.
Will the narrow end travis Kelce retire? Is the offensive line as worried as Super Bowl seemed to show? How many important defenders for free agent can Chiefs retain with a strapped salary situation? Where will KC turn to the recipient? Keep your eyes open.
Detroit Lions

Mandatory Credit: LON HORWED-IMAGN IMAGES Eagles coach Nick Sirianni credited an early end from the playoffs in 2023 as a catalyst for his team’s title run the following season.
So it could go for Lions, who earned NFC’s top seeds just to fight in a division-round debacle against the Washington commanders.
Injuries added to Detroit, and the early season included a variety of assistant coaching departures, namely coordinator Ben Johnson (Chicago Bears) and Aaron Glenn (New York Jets), who landed jobs with head training.
Remember again who comes back: Quarterback Jared Goff, the broad receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, runs back Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery and passes Rusher Aidan Hutchinson, to name a few.
Buffalo bills
19 Jan 2025; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bill’s quarterback Josh Allen (17) passes the ball during the third quarter against Baltimore Ravens in an AFC Division Round game 2025 at Highmark Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Gregory Fisher-Immagn images Buffalo advanced an after-year period deeper than Detroit, its rust belt brothers, lost an AFC championship nail pieces in Kansas City.
The managers have been a notorious Playoff Bugaboo for the bills under Josh Allen -ean, and the logic would keep things going Buffalo’s Way just onceEspecially considering its latest successful seasonal success versus KC.
Allen’s game-winning touchdown run to cement a week 11 victory against Chiefs formed a resounding image from his 2024 MVP campaign. He is the first player to collect at least 25 TD passes and 10 points while throwing fewer than 10 interceptions.
Several free agency decisions and other guard lists that transform questions await, but if Allen is upright, the prospects of the bills are the same.
Baltimore Ravens
Baltimore Raven’s Quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) and runs back Derrick Henry (22) wears Santa Coats while interviewed by the Netflix Values Jamie Erdahl after the match against Houston Texans at NRG Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn images Lamar Jackson was awaited narrowly at winning MVP awards again, but the fact is the 28-year-old Dual-Hot QB has been there and done it.
Not so for Super Bowl performances, and don’t know Raven’s fans?
Although he had figured out double-digit victories and after-season buildings in six of the last seven seasons, Baltimore absorbed another early end and bent at Buffalo in an AFC division classic.
The offensive line can be in flow with two starters who are facing free agency and the defense is in great need of players who generate sales, but the corps take the base and the coaching consistency to do a run next winter.
