Contents
Wondering which NFL team has won the most Super Bowls? We’ve got the answer, along with a complete list of every team’s Super Bowl wins and losses.
The Green Bay Packers
As of 2021, the Green Bay Packers have won the most Super Bowls of any NFL team, with a total of 13 wins. They are followed by the New England Patriots, who have won a total of 11 Super Bowls.
The New England Patriots
Since the NFL’s inception in 1920, there have been 52 Super Bowls played. Of those 52 games, only one team has won more than five times: the New England Patriots. With a total of six victories, the Patriots have won more Super Bowls than any other team in NFL history.
The Patriots’ first Super Bowl win came in 2001, when they defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-17 in a close game that was decided by a last-minute field goal. They followed that up with victories in 2003 (over the Carolina Panthers), 2004 (over the Philadelphia Eagles), 2014 (over the Seattle Seahawks), 2016 (over the Atlanta Falcons) and 2018 (over the Los Angeles Rams). In all six of their Super Bowl wins, the Patriots have been coached by Bill Belichick and quarterbacked by Tom Brady.
The Patriots’ success is even more remarkable when you consider that they’ve only had one losing season since 2001. In that time, they’ve made it to the playoffs 14 times and won 12 division titles. They’ve also appeared in 10 AFC Championship Games, which is more than any other team in history.
The Pats’ dynasty shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, so it’s safe to say that they will remain the NFL’s most successful franchise for years to come.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six wins. They have appeared in a total of eight Super Bowls, which is also the most appearances of any team. The New England Patriots have won the second most Super Bowls with five wins.
The San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers have won the most Super Bowls, with five victories (IX, X, XI, XIV, XXIII). They also have the second-best overall winning percentage in the Super Bowl era among NFL teams with at least five appearances, with .714 (5–2).
