The Philadelphia Eagles won a lopsided game at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans against the Kansas City Chiefs and clinched the Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles became the fourth and final NFC East team to win more than two Super Bowls - no other division has all four teams winning the title.
Under the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NFL Players Association and the NFL, each player on the winning team will receive $171,000—a $7,000 increase from last year. The payout for the 2026 Super Bowl champions is set to rise to $178,000.
Super Bowl earnings extend beyond the championship payout, ending up with potential earnings of up to $350,000 in total bonuses.

According to Fortune.com, players are eligible for the full Super Bowl bonus if they have participated in at least three regular-season or playoff games and are on the team's active or inactive list for the championship game. Additionally, regardless of their game-day status, those who have played at least eight games also qualify. Veteran players who were injured during the regular season but remain under contract are entitled to the full payout.
A 50% bonus is awarded to players who have appeared in fewer than three regular-season or playoff games but are on the active or inactive list for the Super Bowl. Those who played between three and seven games during the season but are not on the active/inactive list also receive half the bonus.
First-year players who sustained injuries during the regular season but remain under contract qualify for 50% of the bonus. These guidelines ensure that both key contributors and injured players still under contract receive financial recognition based on their level of participation.
