PHILADELPHIA (February 13, 2025) – SEPTA will limit stops and run express-type rail service on Friday, Feb. 14, to serve hundreds of thousands of riders who are expected to use the system to travel to-and-from the Eagles Championship Parade. High-frequency service will operate on the Broad Street Line [B] and Market-Frankford Line [L], and trips on both of these lines will be free thanks to sponsorships from Nike, Duracell and Gran Coramino, a line of premium tequilas founded by Philadelphia native Kevin Hart and the official luxury tequila partner of the Philadelphia Eagles.
The parade is scheduled to begin at approximately 11 a.m. on South Broad Street, continue north to City Hall and then onto the Benjamin Franklin Parkway toward the Philadelphia Museum of Art. To better manage crowds with available personnel, and to allow for more efficient service, SEPTA will consolidate stops on all rail lines.
Regional Rail will operate inbound-only in the morning and outbound-only after the parade. Fares are required for Regional Rail, and customers must have either a valid Key Card or pre-purchase a special One Day Pass that is on sale today and tomorrow. No Regional Rail passes or tickets can be purchased in-person on Friday.
Regular fares also apply for travel on buses and trolleys – free rides only apply to the Market-Frankford Line [L] and Broad Street Line [B].
Below are highlights of the major service adjustments for parade day. Riders are urged to check the Eagles Parade bulletin on SEPTA’s website for more details.
Market-Frankford Line [L] & Broad Street Line [B]
The Market-Frankford Line [L] and Broad Street Line [B] are the best options for travel to-and-from the parade. Thanks to support from Gran Coramino, rides on both lines are free on Friday.
