Eagles to host FOX Bet Lounge at Lincoln Financial Field
Wall-to-wall TV screens, full food and beverage service and new digital series highlight deal
The Philadelphia Eagles will unveil a FOX Bet sports lounge and studio at Lincoln Financial Field as part of a multi-year partnership with the mobile sportsbook brand, the team announced on Tuesday.
The deal establishes FOX Bet as an official sports betting partner for the Eagles, with the 4,000-square-foot FOX Bet Lounge serving as the centerpiece of the partnership. Slated to open once the Eagles are permitted to host fans at home games, the premium lounge will offer space for up to 380 ticketed fans, wall-to-wall TV screens, full food and beverage service and access to both player arrivals at the stadium and live post-game interviews.

Pennsylvania is one of a growing number of U.S. states that legalized sports betting since the Supreme Court struck down a federal ban in 2018. Earlier this year, the NFL relaxed its strict sponsorship rules to allow teams to strike partnerships with sportsbooks.
