Sometimes the most unlikely friendships tell the most beautiful stories. Budweiser's 2026 Super Bowl commercial pairs a baby Clydesdale foal with a fallen bald eagle chick, and what unfolds is pure magic. Set to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Free Bird," the two grow up together through rainstorms, snowfall, and countless adventures. The foal offers its back when the eaglet can't yet fly, and the eagle gives the horse the courage to keep charging forward. As seasons change, their bond deepens. When the eagle finally spreads its wings and soars from the Clydesdale's back, it's impossible not to feel something stir in your chest. Even one of the farmers watching (a real Budweiser barley farmer) can't help but tear up. Celebrating both Budweiser's 150th anniversary and America's 250th birthday, this wordless tale proves that friendship doesn't need words — just loyalty, courage, and a willingness to lift each other up when it matters most.
