President Donald Trump is set to attend this Sunday’s annual Super Bowl in New Orleans, making him the first sitting president to do so.
Super Bowl LIX will pit the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles, setting the stage for a possible historic three-peat victory as Super Bowl champions for the Chiefs. However, Trump’s attendance at the game would be a first for the president of the United States and would come less than a month after Trump returned to the White House.

The president is no stranger to enjoying a football game. Trump attended the annual Army-Navy football game in December, where he was joined by Vice President JD Vance and Marine veteran Daniel Penny. Trump also attended the matchup between the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers on the same day as his viral McDonald’s shift.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, in a video posted to X, said that the game will be a “safe event” for the over 70,000 attendees at the Caesars Superdome, where the game is being held.
