What happened: The NFL shared the Philadelphia Eagles' Fourth of July message wishing fans a happy 250th Independence Day. The Eagles' post was one of several holiday greetings circulating across the league's channels on Saturday.

Why it matters: July 4, 2026 marks the semiquincentennial — 250 years of American independence — and teams across sports leaned into the milestone. Clubs from the NBA and MLB joined in as well, including the Nationals, who marked the anniversary from Washington.

What to watch: With the NFL in its offseason, attention turns to training camps opening later this month as teams ramp up for the 2026 season.
