What NFL Team Has the Most Super Bowl Rings?
Contents
A look at which NFL team has the most Super Bowl rings, and what that says about the relative success of the franchise.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls of any team in the National Football League (NFL) with six victories. The Steelers have also played in more Super Bowls than any other team, appearing eight times.
History
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Steelers compete in the National Football League (NFL), as a member club of the league’s American Football Conference (AFC) North division. Founded in 1933, the Steelers are the oldest franchise in the AFC. In contrast with their status as perennial also-rans in the pre-merger NFL, where they were mostly stuck in the middle of the standings, the Steelers of the post-merger era are one of the most successful NFL franchises.
Since the establishment of the playoff system in 1933, they have qualified for 27 playoffs, winning nine league championships, two pre-Super Bowl era titles, and four Super Bowls—making them one of six teams to have won more than four Lombardi Trophies. The Steelers share the record for second most Super Bowl appearances with eight. The Steelers lost their most recent championship appearance, Super Bowl XLV, on February 6, 2011.
The franchise has compiled an all-time regular season record of 640–450–22 (.587), making them one of only six teams that has never lost 600 games. They have experienced success throughout much of their history except for several stretches during which they did not qualify for a playoff berth—particularly between 1998 and 2002—and between 2010 and 2020. Since 1971 they have played all but two seasons at Heinz Field on Pittsburgh’s North Side just across from downtown—their home from 1957 until 1970 is now a UPMC Sports Performance Complex practice facility and office building adjacent to Heinz Field; it was torn down after acquiring its new name following PNC’s purchase of UPMC in 2012—and since first playing at Pitt Stadium way back in 1933; M&T Bank Stadium still hosts some regular season games about ten miles south right next to Camden Yards where Major League Baseball’s Baltimore Orioles play just across Inner Harbor from historic downtown Baltimore as well as some playoff contests usually against New England Patriots or Buffalo Bills who like Pittsburgh originally played their home games nearby at Forbes Field while playing half their annual schedule on artificial turf up at old Municipal Stadium due to concerns about damage to Oriole Park caused by cleats although Municipal Stadium was actually located next door to Memorial Stadium where much more damage occurred due largely to players sliding into bases headfirst while wearing metal spikes which shredded both grass and turf while also tearing up wooden or concrete bleachers with metal benches often used by rowdy fans during fights even though baseball diamond configuration is laid out completely different from a football gridiron so collision risk at home plate or along first base line is minimal compared to crossing goal line or being tackled near sideline so any logic behind this policy eluded me anyway but I digress.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls of any team in NFL history, with six total wins. They have also appeared in more Super Bowls than any other team, with eight total appearances.

History
The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference (NFC) North division. It is the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919, and is the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. Home games have been played at Lambeau Field since 1957.
The Packers are the last of the “small town teams” which were common in the NFL during the league’s early days of 1921 and 1922. Founded in 1919 by Earl “Curly” Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, the franchise traces its lineage to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating back to 1896. Between 1919 and 1920, the Packers competed against other semi-pro clubs from around Wisconsin and Michigan, before joining the American Professional Football Association (APFA), now known as the NFL, in 1921. Although Green Bay is by far the smallest major league professional sports market in North America, its fans have been loyal to the Packers longer than any other NFL franchise except for two: The Chicago Bears and New York Giants.
The Packers have won 13 league championships (9 NFL Championships and 4 Super Bowls), more than any other team in NFL history, with their most recent title coming in 2010 when they defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31–25 in Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium. They won 3 consecutive NFL championships from 1929 to 1931 and an additional 3 straight titles from 1936 to 1938. In total, they have appeared in 20 NFL Championship Games (13 pre–1970 AFL–NFL merger; 7 thereafter), winning 9 of them outright—the most among any NFL team.
