The most anticipated TV crossover event of the year just crossed over once again with Super Bowl LIX.
The stars of Abbott Elementary and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia showed their support for the Eagles, following the team’s 2018 win, as they arrived via private jet in New Orleans this weekend to watch their home team take on defending champs the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Oh hello New Orleans. #FlyEaglesFly,” It’s Always Sunny star and creator Rob McElhenney captioned a photo with wife and co-star Kaitlin Olson, as well as Abbott‘s Quinta Brunson and Tyler James Williams. The group posed in front of the plane in their Eagles green.

Brunson and McElhenney previously cheered on the Eagles together in a Sunday Night Football promo in November.
Their latest group trip comes after the first part of their crossover event aired last month with the Season 4 episode ‘Volunteers’ of ABC‘s Brunson-created Abbott Elementary. The second part will air in the coming months on the Season 17 premiere of FXX’s It’s Always Sunny.

Brunson previously told Rolling Stone the second episode will air “four or five months” after the first, as McElhenney noted it will consist of “the same story from two different perspectives.”
“We thought, OK, that then gives us an opportunity for our characters to play in their tone and to make an episode of Abbott, and then their characters to play in our tone and make what will feel like an authentic episode of Sunny,” he explained. “The authenticity still remains between both shows.”
Super Bowl LIX, scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT, will be broadcast live on Fox, stream for free on Tubi and be available via a Spanish-language broadcast on Fox Deportes and Telemundo and across NFL digital properties with unauthenticated access across devices. Jon Batiste will sing the National Anthem, and Kendrick Lamar will perform during the halftime show with SZA.
