The
Packers defeated the
Chiefs in the first
AFL–NFL World Championship Game (
Super Bowl I ).
The
Super Bowl is the annual
American football game that determines the champion of the
National Football League (NFL). The game culminates a
season that begins in the previous calendar year, and is the conclusion of the
NFL playoffs . The winner receives the
Vince Lombardi Trophy . The contest is held in an American city, chosen three to four years beforehand,
[1] usually at warm-weather sites or
domed stadiums .
[2] Since January 1971, the winner of the
American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the
National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs.
Before the
1970 merger between the
American Football League (AFL) and the
National Football League (NFL), the two leagues met in four such contests. The first two were marketed as the "
AFL–NFL World Championship Game ", but were also casually referred to as "the Super Bowl game" during the television broadcast.
[3]
Super Bowl III in January 1969 was the first such game that carried the "Super Bowl" moniker in official marketing; the names "
Super Bowl I " and "
Super Bowl II " were retroactively applied to the first two games.
[4]
A total of 20 franchises, including teams that have relocated to another city or changed their name, have won the Super Bowl.
[5] There are four
NFL teams that have never appeared in a Super Bowl: the
Cleveland Browns ,
Detroit Lions ,
Jacksonville Jaguars , and
Houston Texans , though both the Browns (
1950 ,
1954 ,
1955 ,
1964 ) and Lions (
1935 ,
1952 ,
1953 ,
1957 ) had won
NFL Championship Games prior to the creation of the Super Bowl in the
1966 season .
The
1972 Dolphins capped off the only
perfect season in
NFL history with their victory in
Super Bowl VII . Only two franchises have ever won the Super Bowl while hosting at their home stadiums: the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers in
Super Bowl LV and the
Los Angeles Rams in
Super Bowl LVI .

Consecutive wins
The
Steelers defeated the
Rams in
Super Bowl XIV to win an unprecedented four championships in six years.
Eight franchises have won consecutive Super Bowls, one of which (Pittsburgh) has accomplished it twice:
Although no franchise to date has won three Super Bowls in a row, several have had eras of sustained success, nearly accomplishing a
three-peat :
The
Green Bay Packers won the first two Super Bowls, and also won the
NFL Championship Game the preceding year . If the Super Bowl had been instituted that year, the Packers would have qualified and faced the Buffalo Bills of the AFL.
The
Miami Dolphins appeared in three consecutive Super Bowls (
VI ,
VII , and
VIII ) – winning the last two, and coming within one win of three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
The
Dallas Cowboys won two consecutive Super Bowls (
XXVII and
XXVIII ); the following season they were eliminated in the
NFC Championship Game , two wins short of a three-peat, by the eventual
Super Bowl XXIX champion
San Francisco 49ers . The
Cowboys won
Super Bowl XXX the following year for three titles in four seasons, and thus were two wins away from four consecutive Super Bowl titles.
The
Kansas City Chiefs made four Super Bowls in five years, winning
LIV ,
LVII , and
LVIII , while losing
LV . In the intervening year, they lost the
2021 AFC Championship Game to the
Cincinnati Bengals in overtime, coming one win short of five consecutive appearances. Additionally, in the year prior to their victory in LIV, the Chiefs likewise lost the
2018 AFC Championship Game to the
New England Patriots in overtime, resulting in being two wins short of six consecutive appearances.
The
New England Patriots won Super Bowls
XLIX ,
LI , and
LIII for three titles in five seasons. They also appeared in and lost
Super Bowl LII to the
Philadelphia Eagles following the 2017 season, giving them four Super Bowl appearances in five years and putting them one win away from three consecutive Super Bowl titles. Moreover, in the intervening year, were eliminated in the
AFC Championship Game by the eventual
Super Bowl 50 champion
Denver Broncos . In total, then, the Patriots were three wins away from five consecutive Super Bowl titles.
The
Pittsburgh Steelers won two consecutive Super Bowls (
IX and
X ); the following season they were eliminated in the
AFC Championship Game , two wins short of a three-peat, by the eventual
Super Bowl XI champion
Oakland Raiders . They also won two more consecutive Super Bowls (
XIII and
XIV ) for four titles in six seasons.
The
San Francisco 49ers won two consecutive Super Bowls (
XXIII and
XXIV ); the following season they were eliminated in the
NFC Championship Game , two wins short of a three-peat, by the eventual
Super Bowl XXV champion
New York Giants .
Consecutive losses
Three franchises have lost consecutive Super Bowls:
Consecutive appearances
The
Buffalo Bills have the most consecutive appearances with four from 1990 to 1993. The
Miami Dolphins (1971–1973) and
New England Patriots (2016–2018) are the only other teams to have at least three consecutive appearances. All three teams with three or more consecutive Super Bowl appearances are in the
AFC East division. Including those three, 11 teams have at least two consecutive appearances. The
Dallas Cowboys are the only team with three separate streaks (1970–1971, 1977–1978, and 1992–1993). The
Green Bay Packers ,
Pittsburgh Steelers ,
Denver Broncos ,
[n 1] and New England Patriots have each had two separate consecutive appearances. The
Kansas City Chiefs are the most recent team to appear in consecutive Super Bowls, playing in
Super Bowl LVII and
Super Bowl LVIII . The full listing of teams with consecutive appearances is below in order of first occurrence; winning games are in bold :
Super Bowl rematches
The
49ers and the
Bengals , who faced off in
Super Bowl XVI (pictured ), would play each other again in
Super Bowl XXIII .

b The
Seahawks and
Buccaneers each began play in
1976 . For scheduling purposes, the Seahawks were placed in the
NFC and the Buccaneers were placed in the
AFC for their first year of play. In 1977, the two teams switched conferences, placing the Seahawks in the AFC and the Buccaneers in the NFC. In 2002, the Seahawks returned to the NFC. Neither the Seahawks nor Buccaneers have played in the Super Bowl representing the AFC.
The New England Patriots played their first championship game in
Super Bowl XX (pictured ) where they lost to the
Bears . This is the most recent
Super Bowl where both teams had their first Super Bowl appearance. The Patriots hold the record for most Super Bowl appearances (11) and are tied for both most wins (6, tied with the
Steelers ) and most losses (5, tied with the
Broncos ).
Teams with Super Bowl appearances but no victories
Eight teams have appeared in the Super Bowl without ever winning. In descending order of number of appearances and then years since their last appearance, they are:
Minnesota Vikings (4) – appeared in Super Bowls
IV ,
VIII ,
IX , and
XI ; they won the
NFL Championship in
1969 , the last year before the
AFL–NFL merger , but failed to win
the subsequent Super Bowl . An NFL expansion team in
1961 , they have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Buffalo Bills (4) –
XXV ,
XXVI ,
XXVII , and
XXVIII ; in
1964 and
1965 , they won the
last
two AFL Championships before the
first Super Bowl in
1966 .
Cincinnati Bengals (3) –
XVI ,
XXIII , and
LVI ; an AFL expansion team in
1968 , they have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Carolina Panthers (2) –
XXXVIII and
50 ; a post-merger expansion team, their first season was in
1995 .
Atlanta Falcons (2) –
XXXIII and
LI ; an NFL expansion team in
1966 , they have no pre-Super Bowl league championships.
Los Angeles Chargers (1) –
XXIX as the
San Diego Chargers ; their only
AFL Championship was in
1963 , also as the San Diego Chargers.
Tennessee Titans (1) –
XXXIV ; they won the
first
two AFL Championships in
1960 and
1961 as the
Houston Oilers .
Arizona Cardinals (1) –
XLIII ; they won two
NFL Championships , one in
1925 and then again in
1947 , both as the
Chicago Cardinals .
Teams with no Super Bowl appearances or long active droughts
The
Jets ' last championship appearance was their victory over the
Colts in
Super Bowl III .
Four current teams have never reached the Super Bowl (shown in bold below). Two of them (Jacksonville and Houston) joined the NFL relatively recently, and there are an additional eight teams whose Super Bowl appearance droughts began prior to 2002 (the year Houston joined the NFL). The other two teams that have never appeared in a Super Bowl (Cleveland and Detroit) both held
NFL league championships prior to
Super Bowl I in the
1966 NFL season .
[n 7] Teams are listed below according to the length of their current Super Bowl droughts (as of the end of the 2023 season, after Super Bowl LVIII):
Cleveland Browns , 58 years – NFL champions four times in
1950 ,

1953 ,
1957 ,
1965 ,
1968 , and
1969 ; and appeared in three
AFC Championship Games in the
1986 ,
1987 , and
1989 seasons.
[83] The Browns are officially viewed as one continuous franchise that began in
1946 as a member of the
All-America Football Conference ,
joined the NFL in
1950 , suspended operations after
1995 , and resumed play in
1999 .
[84]

Super Bowl .

New York Jets and
Baltimore /
Indianapolis Colts (
Super Bowl III ) is the only
Super Bowl matchup that cannot be repeated under the current playoff alignment, as the Colts have since been placed in the
AFC (at the time, along with all of the former
AFL teams, including the Jets) as part of the
AFL–NFL merger in 1970. For the same reason, it is the only Super Bowl rematch that is capable of being played in the postseason outside of the Super Bowl.

Buffalo Bills are the only NFL teams to face each other in consecutive
Super Bowls ,
