Philadelphia Eagles’ legendary center, Jason Kelce, is not holding back on his allegiance as the Super Bowl approaches. The retired NFL star, who spent 13 seasons with the Eagles, has made it clear that he will not be supporting his brother, Travis Kelce’s, Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming Super Bowl showdown against Philadelphia. This decision was not impulsive but was actually something Jason had contemplated since last year, when a fan posed the hypothetical scenario to them on their podcast, ‘New Heights’.

In an interview in March 2024, Jason, 37, boldly stated, “I will root for the Eagles of course because I will always be an Eagle first and foremost.” This sentiment did not sit well with his brother Travis, 35, who expressed his disappointment with, “This is bulls—, such bulls—.” Despite his unwavering support for the Eagles, Jason did show some brotherly love by adding, “I’ll also root for Travis to have a good game of course. He’s my brother. But no, I’ll definitely be cheering on the Eagles.”
Jason Kelce, along with his wife and dedicated Eagles fan, Kylie Kelce, has witnessed Super Bowls involving the Chiefs from various angles over recent years. In 2023, the Eagles faced off against Travis’ team in what was dubbed the ‘Kelce Bowl’. Last year, as Jason contemplated retirement following a disappointing Eagles season, they found themselves supporting the Chiefs. Last February, the father of three teamed up with Eagles superfan Miles Teller in a suite at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to cheer on Travis and the Chiefs as they battled against the San Francisco 49ers.
Joining a star-studded group in the suite were Taylor Swift, Travis’ girlfriend, Jason and Travis’ mother, Donna Kelce, and celebrities like Ice Spice, Lana Del Rey, and Blake Lively. This exclusive gathering showcased the unique blend of sports and entertainment worlds coming together to witness the thrilling Super Bowl clash. The excitement was palpable as fans and celebrities alike shared the electric atmosphere of the championship game.
As Jason Kelce stands firm in his support for his beloved Eagles, the upcoming Super Bowl promises an intense showdown not only on the field but also in the hearts of the Kelce brothers. Fans will be eagerly watching to see how the sibling rivalry plays out at the highest level of American football. With each brother deeply committed to their respective teams, the stage is set for a Super Bowl clash that extends beyond just a game – it’s a battle of loyalties and family ties that will undoubtedly captivate audiences on the biggest sporting stage of all.
