According to the New York Post, federal law enforcement sources have confirmed that President Trump will head to Caesars Superdome in New Orleans to watch the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs face off for the Lombardi Trophy.
He will become the first sitting president to attend the biggest game in American sports. His appearance at the game will coincide with Fox airing an interview with President Trump during pregame coverage.
Multiple vice presidents have attended the Super Bowl. This list includes Spiro Agnew in 1971 (Colts vs. Cowboys), George H.W. Bush in 1982 (49ers vs. Bengals), and Al Gore in 1994 (Cowboys vs. Bills).
Bush later attended Super Bowl 36 (Rams vs. Patriots) as a former president. He took part in the coin toss alongside Hall of Famer Roger Staubach.
President Trump is no stranger to high-profile sporting events. Last October, he took in a game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets while campaigning in Pennsylvania.
President Trump attended the annual Army-Navy football game as a sitting president in 2020 and again after winning the election in 2024. He did the pre-game coin toss during this 2020 appearance.
Examples of trips to sporting events continue with the 2018 and 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship games. He also attended a 2011 game between the Jets and Patriots as a civilian and took part in a salute to The Tuskegee Airmen.
One of the highest-profile appearances at a sporting event was the 2020 Daytona 500. President Trump served as the grand marshal for the biggest race in NASCAR, and he told the drivers to start their engines. He then completed laps around the 2.5-mile superspeedway in the Beast limousine.

Four years later, he attended a May race at Charlotte Motor Speedway while spending time with Richard Childress Racing. JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr. then attended an October race at the NASCAR track.
