The NFL Titans: Which Teams Have The Most Super Bowl Wins (Updated For Super Bowl LIX)
The quest for the Vince Lombardi Trophy is the ultimate goal in American professional sports, a championship that defines legacies and cements an NFL franchise's place in history. As of December 22, 2025, the leaderboard for the most Super Bowl wins remains a hotly contested tie between two iconic franchises, but the recent victory in Super Bowl LIX has shifted the landscape for the next tier of contenders, making this one of the most exciting periods in NFL history.
The latest addition to the championship roll, the Philadelphia Eagles’ dominant performance in Super Bowl LIX, serves as a fresh reminder that no lead is safe and no dynasty lasts forever. This article breaks down the exclusive list of teams that have hoisted the trophy the most, detailing the dynasties and key players behind their legendary success.
The Exclusive Club: NFL Teams with the Most Super Bowl Wins
Only two franchises have managed to capture the championship title a record six times, representing two distinct eras of NFL dominance. They are the benchmark for consistent excellence and the gold standard for success in the Super Bowl era.
The Co-Champions: 6 Super Bowl Wins
- New England Patriots: 6 Wins (2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, 2019)
The Patriots' six titles were all won during the unprecedented "Brady-Belichick" era, a two-decade-long run that is arguably the greatest dynasty in sports history. Their victories spanned Super Bowl XXXVI to Super Bowl LIII, featuring legendary figures like quarterback Tom Brady, head coach Bill Belichick, and owner Robert Kraft. Key moments include Malcolm Butler's goal-line interception in Super Bowl XLIX and the 25-point comeback against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. The Patriots also hold the record for the most Super Bowl appearances with 11.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: 6 Wins (1975, 1976, 1979, 1980, 2006, 2009)
The Steelers' path to six titles is split into two distinct, powerful dynasties. The first four came in a six-year span during the 1970s, establishing the legendary "Steel Curtain" defense and featuring Hall of Famers like quarterback Terry Bradshaw (Super Bowl XIII and XIV MVP), running back Franco Harris (Super Bowl IX MVP), and wide receiver Lynn Swann (Super Bowl X MVP). Their two most recent titles were won with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, including a thrilling victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.
The Near-Perfect Five: Franchises with 5 Super Bowl Rings
Just one win shy of the all-time record, two of the NFL's most storied franchises are tied with five Super Bowl victories. Both teams have experienced periods of absolute dominance that rivaled the Patriots and Steelers.
- Dallas Cowboys: 5 Wins (1972, 1978, 1993, 1994, 1996)
Known as "America's Team," the Cowboys’ five titles are highlighted by their 1990s dynasty, where they won three Super Bowls in four years (XXVII, XXVIII, and XXX). This era featured the iconic "Triplets": quarterback Troy Aikman, running back Emmitt Smith, and wide receiver Michael Irvin. Their earlier titles were won with the legendary coach Tom Landry and quarterback Roger Staubach. The Cowboys are tied for the second-most Super Bowl appearances with eight.
- San Francisco 49ers: 5 Wins (1982, 1985, 1989, 1990, 1995)
The 49ers' success is synonymous with quarterback Joe Montana and head coach Bill Walsh, who established the "West Coast Offense." They won four Super Bowls in the 1980s, including back-to-back titles in Super Bowl XXIII and XXIV. Their fifth title came in Super Bowl XXIX with quarterback Steve Young. Their five victories were won without a single loss until Super Bowl XLVII, a streak that defined a generation of football excellence.
The Modern Contenders and the Newest Champion
The next tier of champions includes two classic franchises and a pair of modern powerhouses, including the team that just added to their trophy case in the most recent championship game.
Teams with 4 Super Bowl Wins
- Green Bay Packers: 4 Wins (1967, 1968, 1997, 2011)
The Packers hold the distinction of winning the first two Super Bowls (I and II) under legendary coach Vince Lombardi, for whom the championship trophy is named. Their later titles were won with Hall of Fame quarterbacks Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, proving the enduring legacy of the historic franchise.
- New York Giants: 4 Wins (1987, 1991, 2008, 2012)
The Giants' four championships are notable for their underdog status in many of those contests, particularly their two dramatic upsets over the heavily favored New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI, both led by quarterback Eli Manning and coach Tom Coughlin.
The Super Bowl LIX Champions
- Philadelphia Eagles: 2 Wins (2018, 2025)
The Philadelphia Eagles secured their second franchise Super Bowl title in Super Bowl LIX (2025) with a decisive 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was named the Super Bowl LIX MVP after a dominant performance that saw the Eagles control the game from the opening drive. This victory, coming just a few seasons after their first title in Super Bowl LII, solidifies the Eagles as a current NFL powerhouse and a top-tier contender for years to come.
Topical Authority: Key Super Bowl Records and Entities
To fully understand the Super Bowl history, it is essential to look at the teams and players who hold other significant records, which further illustrate the depth of the league's championship heritage.
Super Bowl Appearances and Heartbreak
While the Patriots lead in Super Bowl appearances with 11, other teams are known for their frequency in the big game, even if the results haven't always been favorable. The Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs are close behind with eight and seven appearances, respectively.
The title of "most Super Bowl appearances without a win" is unfortunately tied between the Buffalo Bills and the Minnesota Vikings, both of whom have appeared in four Super Bowls and lost all four. The Bills' four consecutive losses in the early 1990s are a notable, albeit painful, record in NFL history.
The Teams Still Searching for a Ring
The pursuit of the first Super Bowl title remains for four NFL franchises that have never even appeared in the Big Game: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans. The Lions, in particular, have one of the longest championship droughts in the entire league, making their eventual success a highly anticipated moment for the NFL world.
Legendary Coaches and Players
The success of these franchises is intrinsically linked to their key personnel. Tom Brady holds the record for the most Super Bowl wins by a player (7, six with the Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). Bill Belichick is tied with the Patriots’ six wins as a head coach, and the late Vince Lombardi remains an eternal figure whose name is on the trophy itself. The Dallas Cowboys dynasty of the 90s, the Steel Curtain defense of the 70s, and the recent heroics of Jalen Hurts all contribute to the rich tapestry of Super Bowl lore.
