Most Super Bowl Wins by NFL Team
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots lead the NFL with the most Super Bowl titles. Each franchise has won 6 championships, setting the standard for sustained excellence in the league. The Steelers claimed their first title in Super Bowl IX and added their sixth in Super Bowl XLIII. The Patriots built their dynasty with six wins, including five since 2001, with their most recent victory in Super Bowl LIII. Both franchises have appeared in the most Super Bowls among active teams, with the Patriots reaching 11 title games and the Steelers reaching 8. The Dallas Cowboys follow with 5 championships, all won during a dominant stretch from 1971 to 1995.
Other multi-championship franchises include the San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers with 5 titles each. The 49ers won their first Super Bowl in 1982 and added four more through 1995, anchored by Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. The Packers secured their titles across two eras, winning the first two Super Bowls and adding a third in 1997 under Brett Favre. The New York Giants and Denver Broncos each have 3 championships, with the Giants winning two in the 1980s and 1990s and the Broncos capturing three between 1998 and 2015. The Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins each have 3 titles as well, though the Dolphins remain the only team to complete a perfect season and win Super Bowl VII.
Middle Tier: Two-Time Super Bowl Champions
Several franchises have captured exactly 2 Super Bowl titles, forming a competitive middle tier in the all-time rankings. The Washington Commanders (formerly the Washington Redskins) won Super Bowl XVII and XXII, while the New York Jets secured their lone title in Super Bowl III and added a second in Super Bowl VI. The Baltimore Ravens won Super Bowl XXXV and XLVII, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers captured Super Bowl XXXVII and LV, with the latter victory coming after a 20-year championship drought.
The Indianapolis Colts won Super Bowl XLI and the Los Angeles Rams claimed Super Bowl XXXIV and LVI. The Chicago Bears won Super Bowl XX, the New Orleans Saints won Super Bowl XLIV, and the Kansas City Chiefs won Super Bowl IV and LIV. The Chiefs' recent success under quarterback Patrick Mahomes has positioned them as a rising power in the AFC, with their second title coming in a dramatic Super Bowl LIV comeback against the 49ers. The Titans/Oilers franchise has reached the Super Bowl three times but never won, while the Buffalo Bills reached four consecutive title games from 1991 to 1994 without a victory.
