After the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2025 Super Bowl on Feb. 9, a video (archived) circulated online claiming to show a "massive crowd" celebrating on the city's Broad Street.
"Massive crowd on Broad Street," the video's caption read.
The video started (archived) circulating around 11 p.m. EST Feb. 9 and was quickly reposted (archived) and viewed tens of thousands of times. Versions of the claim also appeared on TikTok (archived).
However, though the video does show Eagles fans in Broad Street, it actually shows people celebrating the team's Jan. 26, 2025, victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game that secured them a place in the Super Bowl. Therefore we rate this video miscaptioned.
The miscaptioned footage was shared by an X user late Feb. 9 with the caption: "BREAKING: VISUALS AT THIS MOMENT FROM BROAD ST IN PHILADELPHIA, BUCKLE UP NEW ORLEANS." However, the user who posted it told another user in the comments that he was not in Philadelphia, meaning he could not have recorded the footage himself.
A user originally posted (archived) the 14-second clip on X on Jan. 26, two weeks before the 2025 Super Bowl, without on-screen text.
The caption read: "View from Broad St in Philadelphia Buckle up New Orleans." We have reached out to the X user we believe posted the original video to confirm the date and time of recording.
Similar videos from Broad Street also circulated on this date, showing Philadelphia City Hall lit up in green. Local media also reported on celebrations on Broad Street on Jan. 26.
