Two oddities in that MVP column are worth pointing out, because they look like mistakes and aren’t. Chuck Howley, in Super Bowl V, played for the Cowboys, who lost. He is still the only player to win the award on the losing side. And Super Bowl XII has two names in it, because Harvey Martin and Randy White shared it, the only time that has happened.
You’ll also notice Super Bowl 50 breaks the pattern. The league dropped the Roman numerals for one year only, on the grounds that “Super Bowl L” looked odd on a poster, then went straight back to them for LI.
A note on the team names
The table lists each team under the name it used at the time, which is how the record books do it and which explains a few things that otherwise look wrong.
The Washington Redskins are now the Washington Commanders. The Raiders won in Oakland, then in Los Angeles, and now play in Las Vegas. The Rams won in St. Louis before moving back to Los Angeles. The Baltimore Colts of Super Bowls III and V are today’s Indianapolis Colts, and the Baltimore Ravens are a different club entirely, founded in 1996.
That last one confused me for longer than I’d like to admit, so if you were wondering how Baltimore has two entries with no shared history, that’s why.
Which team has won the most Super Bowls?
Two teams are level on six: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots.
That’s the answer to the question as people usually ask it. It’s also the least interesting version of the answer, because the two of them got there in completely different ways.
Why “most wins” and “best” are not the same question
Put four reasonable measures of Super Bowl success side by side and you get four different winners.
| Measure | Leader | The number |
|---|---|---|
| Most wins | Steelers and Patriots | 6 each |
| Most appearances | Patriots | 12 |
| Best win rate (3 or more appearances) | Giants and Packers | .800, both 4-1 |
| Best points difference | Cowboys | +89 across 8 games |
Source: Pro Football Reference, Super Bowl standings.
Here’s what those numbers actually say. The Patriots won their six from twelve appearances, so they have lost as many Super Bowls as they have won, and across those twelve games they have been outscored by 52 points. The Steelers won six from eight and are 29 points to the good. Same trophy count, very different story.
Meanwhile the Giants and the Packers have both won four from five, a better strike rate than either of the teams above them, and neither is ever the answer anyone gives.
And at the far end of it, the New York Jets have played one Super Bowl and won it. A perfect record. Nobody has ever called the Jets the greatest Super Bowl team, and they shouldn’t, but it’s a useful reminder that a percentage with one game behind it tells you almost nothing.
This is the thing worth taking away: a single number never settles a question like this. Pick the measure first, and be honest that you picked it.
Every franchise’s Super Bowl record
A franchise is simply a club, one of the thirty-two teams in the league. It’s the American word for what we’d usually call a club over here.
Twenty-eight of the thirty-two have reached at least one Super Bowl. Here they are, ordered by wins.
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Win rate | Points for | Points against | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh Steelers | 8 | 6 | 2 | .750 | 193 | 164 | +29 |

The Denver line is the one that stops you. Three Super Bowl titles, and a points difference of minus 112, comfortably the worst of any team that has been. They have won three and lost five, and several of the losses were heavy. Being good enough to get there eight times and being good on the day are separate achievements.
The teams that have never won one
Twelve of the thirty-two teams have never won a Super Bowl. Eight of them have been and lost.
- Minnesota Vikings, 0-4. All four losses came between 1970 and 1977.
- Buffalo Bills, 0-4. Four in a row, from 1991 to 1994, which no other team has managed in either direction.
- Cincinnati Bengals, 0-3.
- Atlanta Falcons, 0-2.
- Carolina Panthers, 0-2.
- Los Angeles Chargers, 0-1.
- Tennessee Titans, 0-1.
- Arizona Cardinals, 0-1.
The Bills run deserves its own moment. Four consecutive Super Bowls, four defeats, with the same quarterback, Jim Kelly, starting all four. Whatever you think losing a final feels like, they did it in four straight winters.
The four who have never even got there
Four teams have never played in a Super Bowl at all: the Cleveland Browns, the Detroit Lions, the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Two of those have an excuse of sorts. The Texans have only existed since 2002 and the Jaguars since 1995. The Browns and the Lions have been around for the whole sixty-year run of the thing.
Repeat champions, and the three-peat nobody has managed
Winning two in a row has happened nine times, to eight different teams. The Packers did it first, in the first two Super Bowls ever played. The Steelers are the only team to have done it twice, in 1975 and 1976 and again in 1979 and 1980. The most recent were the Chiefs, in 2023 and 2024.
Winning three in a row has never happened. Not once in sixty years.
The Chiefs came the closest anyone has to breaking that. Having won LVII and LVIII, they reached Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 with the three-peat in front of them, and lost to the Eagles 40-22.
The longest waits
Some of these are long enough to be an inheritance rather than a memory.
- New York Jets, last won January 1969. Their only appearance.
- Miami Dolphins, last won January 1974.
- Las Vegas Raiders, last won January 1984, when they were in Los Angeles.
- Chicago Bears, last won January 1986.
- Washington Commanders, last won January 1992, as the Redskins.
- San Francisco 49ers, last won January 1995, despite reaching three finals since.
The Jets one is the standout. They won the third Super Bowl ever played, in the Orange Bowl in Miami, and have not been back since. Every other team on this list at least has a second appearance to point at.
Common questions
Who has won the most Super Bowls? The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots, with six each. The Steelers won theirs from eight appearances and the Patriots from twelve, so the two records look very different underneath the same headline number.
Which team has played in the most Super Bowls? The New England Patriots, with twelve appearances, of which they won six and lost six. The Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos are next, on eight each.
Which NFL teams have never won a Super Bowl? Twelve of the thirty-two. Eight have been and lost: the Vikings and Bills (0-4 each), the Bengals (0-3), the Falcons and Panthers (0-2 each), and the Chargers, Titans and Cardinals (0-1 each). Four have never appeared at all: the Browns, Lions, Texans and Jaguars.
Has any team ever won three Super Bowls in a row? No. It has never happened in sixty years. Winning two in a row has happened nine times, and the Kansas City Chiefs came closest to a third when they reached Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 after winning the previous two, and lost to the Eagles.
Who won the most recent Super Bowl? The Seattle Seahawks, who beat the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on 8 February 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It was Seattle’s second title, after Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014.
