The Ultimate Philadelphia Eagles Tailgate

The Smooth Tailgate takes place before every Philadelphia Eagles regular-season home game.

Each tailgate is a four-hour pregame experience designed to give Eagles fans everything they need before heading to the stadium — without worrying about hauling grills, coolers, tents or supplies into South Philly.

Hosted by DJ Smooth and Buster from Q102, each Smooth Tailgate features music, entertainment and a rotating surprise guest DJ, creating a true game-day party atmosphere before the Birds take the field.

Tailgates conclude approximately 45–60 minutes before kickoff, giving fans attending the game plenty of time to make the short trip over to Lincoln Financial Field.
