The Definitive Ranking: Which NFL Teams Have The Most Super Bowl Wins (Updated After Super Bowl LIX)
The landscape of NFL dominance is constantly shifting, but the history books remain the ultimate judge of championship pedigree. As of December 2025, the race for the title of "most Super Bowl wins" is tighter than ever, with a long-standing tie at the top and a new champion recently crowned. This comprehensive breakdown provides the definitive, up-to-the-minute ranking of every team that has hoisted the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy, including the surprising result of the most recent championship game.
The quest for the Super Bowl ring represents the pinnacle of American football, and only a select few franchises have consistently achieved this feat. Following a thrilling 2024 season that culminated in the Philadelphia Eagles' victory in Super Bowl LIX, the hierarchy of NFL champions has been slightly adjusted, solidifying some legacies while leaving others hungry for more. This is the complete, updated list of the NFL's most successful franchises in the Super Bowl era.
The All-Time Leaders: NFL Teams with the Most Super Bowl Victories
The top of the mountain is currently a two-way tie, representing two distinct eras of dominance. These franchises have set the standard for championship excellence, each securing an unprecedented six Super Bowl titles. Their combined history is a testament to sustained success, legendary coaching, and generational talent.
- New England Patriots: 6 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 6-5)
- Victories: XX, XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII
- Key Era: The "Brady-Belichick Dynasty" (2001–2019)
- Appearances: 11 (Most in NFL History)
- Pittsburgh Steelers: 6 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 6-2)
- Victories: IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII
- Key Era: The "Steel Curtain" of the 1970s and the Ben Roethlisberger era
- Appearances: 8
The New England Patriots' six titles are primarily concentrated within a two-decade dynasty, largely credited to the legendary duo of quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick. Their run included a remarkable three championships in four years between 2001 and 2004, and another three in five years between 2014 and 2018. Their 11 total Super Bowl appearances are the most of any franchise in NFL history.
Conversely, the Pittsburgh Steelers built their legacy on two separate waves of dominance. The "Steel Curtain" defense of the 1970s, led by Hall of Famers like Terry Bradshaw and Mean Joe Greene, secured four titles in six years. They added two more in the 2000s, proving their ability to rebuild and remain an elite organization.
The Five-Ring Contenders: The Race for Seven
Just one win behind the co-leaders are two NFC powerhouses, each with a rich history of championship success. Both the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers stand poised to join the six-win club, making every Super Bowl appearance for them a potentially record-tying event.
- Dallas Cowboys: 5 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 5-3)
- Victories: VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, XXX
- Key Era: The "America's Team" dynasty of the 1990s
- Appearances: 8
- San Francisco 49ers: 5 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 5-3)
- Victories: XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV, XXIX
- Key Era: The Joe Montana and Steve Young eras
- Appearances: 8
The Dallas Cowboys earned their moniker "America's Team" through widespread popularity and a dominant run in the 1990s, where they won three Super Bowls in four seasons with a roster featuring Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin. Their last championship drought, however, has extended for decades, fueling intense pressure for a sixth title.
The San Francisco 49ers were the team of the 1980s, driven by the brilliance of quarterback Joe Montana and coach Bill Walsh's West Coast Offense. They became the first team to win five Super Bowls, a record that stood for many years before being surpassed. Their recent appearances show they remain a perennial contender, always threatening to tie the all-time record.
The Four-Time Champions and The Newest Ring Holder
This tier includes franchises that have established multiple championship windows, cementing their place among the NFL's elite. It also includes the Kansas City Chiefs, who recently suffered a major setback in their quest for a fifth title.
- Green Bay Packers: 4 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 4-1)
- Victories: I, II, XXXI, XLV
- Key Era: The Vince Lombardi era and the Aaron Rodgers era
- New York Giants: 4 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 4-1)
- Victories: XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI
- Key Era: The Bill Parcells and Tom Coughlin eras
- Kansas City Chiefs: 4 Super Bowl Wins (Record: 4-2)
- Victories: IV, LIV, LV, LVII
- Key Era: The Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid dynasty
The Green Bay Packers hold a special place as the winners of the first two Super Bowls, with the championship trophy itself named after their legendary coach, Vince Lombardi. Their perfect 4-1 Super Bowl record is one of the best among the multi-time winners. The New York Giants are known for their dramatic, upset victories, particularly their two wins over the heavily favored Patriots in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI.
The Kansas City Chiefs, under the leadership of Patrick Mahomes, have become the league's newest dynasty, quickly racking up four titles. Their recent loss in Super Bowl LIX, however, stalled their momentum toward a record-breaking fifth championship, keeping them tied in this category.
The Two-Time Champions: Super Bowl LIX's Impact
The most significant recent change to the championship tally came in February 2025. The Philadelphia Eagles, who previously had one Super Bowl title (LII), secured their second championship by defeating the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. This victory propelled them out of the one-win group and into the two-win category, a monumental step for the franchise.
Other franchises in the two-win club include the Miami Dolphins (VII, VIII), the Indianapolis Colts (V, XLI), the Baltimore Ravens (XXXV, XLVII), and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (XXXVII, LV). Notably, the Ravens and Buccaneers are the only two franchises to be undefeated in multiple Super Bowl appearances, a testament to their ability to perform on the biggest stage.
Championship Droughts and Perfect Records
Topical authority in this subject requires looking beyond just the winners and considering the context of their records. The Super Bowl era, which began in 1967, has been brutal for some franchises, while others have shown remarkable efficiency.
The Undefeated Super Bowl Records
While the Patriots and Steelers have the most wins, their multiple losses (Patriots 5, Steelers 2) show that winning the Super Bowl is never guaranteed. The most efficient multi-time winners are:
- Baltimore Ravens: 2-0 record.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2-0 record.
These two teams have a perfect 1.000 winning percentage in the Super Bowl, a remarkable achievement that highlights their ability to close out a season-long journey with a flawless final performance.
The Longest Championship Droughts
For some franchises, the wait for a title has been agonizing. The New York Jets (Super Bowl III) and the Kansas City Chiefs (Super Bowl IV) held the longest active droughts before their recent victories. However, the Miami Dolphins (Super Bowl VIII) now hold one of the longest championship droughts among multi-time winners, having last won in 1973.
The Teams Still Searching for a Ring
A total of 12 NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl, and four of those teams have never even appeared in the game. The most infamous are the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, who each hold the unwanted record for the most Super Bowl appearances without a win, losing four times each.
The total Super Bowl victories list is a dynamic, ever-changing record, but as of late 2025, the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers remain the kings of the mountain with six rings apiece. The chasing pack, including the 49ers, Cowboys, and the newly crowned two-time champion Eagles, ensures that the race for Super Bowl supremacy will only intensify in the coming seasons.
