Super Bowl Winners Table
Fifty-nine Super Bowls have been played, and the table's spine is a dynasty ledger: Green Bay won the first two, Pittsburgh took four in six seasons during the 1970s, San Francisco's West Coast machine stacked five between 1982 and 1995, Dallas answered with three in four years, and New England's Brady-Belichick era collected six across two decades. Kansas City's 2020-2024 run - three titles in five seasons with three straight finals - is the newest shelf on that rack.
The table records the game's structural quirks, not just winners: seven of the first nine Super Bowls were won by AFL or AFL-era underdogs before the NFC's 13-year streak of the 1980s-90s; the numeral skipped from XXXIX straight to 50 (then back to Roman numerals); and two finals went to overtime - LI in 2017, when New England erased a 28-3 deficit, and LVIII in 2024, decided on a walk-off touchdown in the second extra period.
Scores tell the competitiveness story on their own: the average margin across 59 games is about 14.5 points, but the spread runs from one point (the Giants' 20-19 over Buffalo in XXV, decided by a missed 47-yard field goal) to 45 (San Francisco's 55-10 over Denver in XXIV, still the most lopsided final). Four franchises have never even reached one - and two of the game's six 20-point blowouts belong to the 1985 Bears and 2021 Buccaneers.
How to use
- Find any game by season year or Roman numeral - both columns sort cleanly, and the champion column names the franchise as it was franchised then (the Raiders' 1981 and 1984 wins read Oakland and Los Angeles, both true).
- Read the score column right to left: the champion's points come first, so '34-28 (OT)' in LI means a tied game after regulation, settled in extra time - the only two such games carry the OT tag.
- Answer the history questions from the columns: six titles each for Pittsburgh and New England; five for San Francisco and Dallas; three for Kansas City since 2020 (four total, including IV in 1970); and the Buffalo Bills' four straight appearances (XXV-XXVIII) all ended in the runner-up column.
Frequently asked questions
Who has won the most Super Bowls?
Pittsburgh and New England are tied at six each. San Francisco and Dallas have five, Green Bay and the New York Giants four, and Kansas City four (1970, 2020, 2023, 2024). No other franchise has more than three.
What was the biggest blowout in Super Bowl history?
San Francisco 55, Denver 10 in Super Bowl XXIV (1990) - a 45-point margin. Chicago's 46-10 over New England (XX, 1986), Dallas's 52-17 over Buffalo (XXVII, 1993) and Seattle's 43-8 over Denver (XLVIII, 2014) are the other 30-plus routs.
Why was 2016 called Super Bowl 50 and not L?
The league dropped Roman numerals for the 50th game because a standalone 'L' worked poorly in branding, then resumed them the following season with Super Bowl LI. The game's Roman-numeral count has never otherwise skipped.
Has any Super Bowl gone to overtime?
Yes, twice: Super Bowl LI (2017), when New England beat Atlanta 34-28 after trailing 28-3, and Super Bowl LVIII (2024), when Kansas City beat San Francisco 25-22 on a touchdown in the second overtime period.
