NFL Teams That Have Won Back-to-Back Super Bowls

The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world.

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is the culmination of a regular season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. Normally, Roman numerals are used to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl XLVII was played at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 3, 2013, following the 2012 regular season. The conference champions play each other in the NFL’s version of a playoff game.

Since 1967, when the NFL and AFL merged to form one league, there have been 52 Super Bowls played. Of those 52 games, only 14 have featured two teams who both made it back to the big game the following year. That means that just under 27% of all Super Bowls have featured a team who was playing in consecutive years.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been to more Super Bowls than any other team in NFL history, appearing a total of eight times. They are also one of only two teams to have won back-to-back titles on three separate occasions (1974-75, 1978-79 & 2005-06). The other team with three back-to-back wins is the New England Patriots, who accomplished the feat twice (2003-04 & 2014-15).

Here is a complete list of all 14 teams who have won consecutive Super Bowls:

Green Bay Packers (1967-68)
Miami Dolphins (1971-72)
Pittsburgh Steelers (1974-75)
Oakland Raiders (1976-77)
Dallas Cowboys (1992-93)
Denver Broncos (1997-98)
New England Patriots (2003-04 & 2014-15)
Pittsburgh Steelers (2005-06)

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the only team to have won six Super Bowls. They have done so twice, once in the 1970s and again in the 1990s. In both cases, they won back-to-back titles.

New England Patriots

The New England Patriots have won the Super Bowl three times in the last five years, and they are the only team to have won back-to-back titles in that span.

Green Bay Packers

Since the Super Bowl began in 1967, there have been a total of 11 teams who have won back-to-back championships. The most recent team to do so were the Seattle Seahawks, who won Super Bowl XLVIII and Super Bowl XLIX.

Of the 11 teams to win consecutive titles, only four have done so more than once. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won back-to-back Super Bowls on three occasions (1974-75, 1978-79, and 2005-06), while the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, and San Francisco 49ers have each done it twice.

Interestingly, the New England Patriots have appeared in five consecutive Super Bowls (2016-2020), winning three of them (2017, 2018, and 2019). However, they are not included on this list as they did not win back-to-back titles.

San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers are the only team to have won five Super Bowls. They did it in 1981 (XVI), 1984 (XIX), 1988 (XXIII), 1989 (XXIV), and 1994 (XXIX).

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team that plays in the National Football League (NFL). The Cowboys compete in the NFC East division. The team is headquartered in Frisco, Texas, and plays its home games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which opened for the 2009 season. The stadium took the place of the former Texas Stadium, which served as the Cowboys’ home through the 2008 season. The team’s primary colors are royal blue, navy blue, white, and silver.

The Miami Dolphins are the only team in NFL history to have repeated as Super Bowl champions, having done so in 1974 and 1975.
