While Trump and the NFL seem to be on the same page now, their relationship has been rocky over the decades. Here is a breakdown of Trump’s long and complicated history with the league. Trump will attend the big game on Sunday following the NFL’s recent decision to remove the “End Racism” message from the end zones for the first time since 2021.

No sitting president has ever attended a Super Bowl. Vice presidents have, including Mike Pence — Trump’s former second-in-command who was left off the ticket in 2024. But while presidents are often guests at the Army-Navy Game each December, Trump would be the first to watch the big game in person.

Jimmy Kimmel Live, after Kimmel called Trump out for pretending “to be Christian to please his base,” he predicted the president will certainly not be attending church this coming Sunday in favor of watching the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs compete at the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
