The 5 NFL Teams With The Most Super Bowl Wins (Updated For 2025)

Contents
The quest for the Lombardi Trophy is the ultimate goal in the National Football League, representing the pinnacle of gridiron success. As of December 2025, following the dramatic conclusion of Super Bowl LIX, the historical leaderboard for the most Super Bowl victories remains a tight race at the top, defined by incredible dynasties and legendary figures who have cemented their franchises' places in sports history. This comprehensive look dives into the elite clubs—the only teams to have lifted the trophy five or more times—and explores the key players and coaches responsible for their championship legacies. The most recent championship clash, Super Bowl LIX, saw the Philadelphia Eagles dominate the Kansas City Chiefs, preventing the Chiefs from adding a third title in four years and keeping the top of the all-time wins list unchanged. The records set by the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to stand as the benchmark for sustained excellence in the modern NFL era.

The All-Time Super Bowl Wins Leaderboard (As of December 2025)

The history of the Super Bowl, which began in 1967, is marked by periods of dominance. Two franchises stand alone at the top with six titles each, followed closely by a pair of iconic NFC teams. Achieving five or more Super Bowl victories requires not just elite talent, but generational coaching and a culture of winning that spans decades.

Tied for #1: New England Patriots (6 Wins)

The New England Patriots’ success is almost entirely synonymous with the "Patriots Dynasty," an unprecedented two-decade run led by the formidable duo of coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Their six victories came in a remarkable nine Super Bowl appearances over an 18-year span, establishing a record for the most Super Bowl appearances by a team.

  • Super Bowl XXXVI (2002): Defeated the St. Louis Rams.
  • Super Bowl XXXVIII (2004): Defeated the Carolina Panthers.
  • Super Bowl XXXIX (2005): Defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.
  • Super Bowl XLIX (2015): Defeated the Seattle Seahawks (famous for the goal-line interception).
  • Super Bowl LI (2017): Defeated the Atlanta Falcons (the historic 28-3 comeback).
  • Super Bowl LIII (2019): Defeated the Los Angeles Rams.

The team's success was built on defensive consistency under Bill Belichick and the clutch play of Tom Brady, who secured four Super Bowl MVP awards during his tenure with the franchise. This era of dominance redefined what a modern NFL dynasty could achieve.

Tied for #1: Pittsburgh Steelers (6 Wins)

The Pittsburgh Steelers share the all-time record, though their path to six titles was split into two distinct eras. The "Steel Curtain" defense of the 1970s made them the first franchise to win four Super Bowls in a six-year period, a feat of sustained excellence that set the early standard for the league.

  • Super Bowl IX (1975): Defeated the Minnesota Vikings (Franco Harris was MVP).
  • Super Bowl X (1976): Defeated the Dallas Cowboys (Lynn Swann was MVP).
  • Super Bowl XIII (1979): Defeated the Dallas Cowboys.
  • Super Bowl XIV (1980): Defeated the Los Angeles Rams.
  • Super Bowl XL (2006): Defeated the Seattle Seahawks (with Ben Roethlisberger and coach Bill Cowher).
  • Super Bowl XLIII (2009): Defeated the Arizona Cardinals (with Ben Roethlisberger and coach Mike Tomlin).

Led by legendary coach Chuck Noll and quarterback Terry Bradshaw, the 1970s Steelers remain one of the most revered teams in NFL history. Their more recent success in the 2000s under the leadership of Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin solidified their place as a premier championship franchise.

Tied for #3: Dallas Cowboys (5 Wins)

Known as "America's Team," the Dallas Cowboys have a rich and storied Super Bowl history, with their five titles coming from two different periods of dominance. The most famous era was the 1990s dynasty, which saw them win three championships in four years, a run of success almost unmatched in the salary cap era.

  • Super Bowl VI (1972): Defeated the Miami Dolphins.
  • Super Bowl XII (1978): Defeated the Denver Broncos.
  • Super Bowl XXVII (1993): Defeated the Buffalo Bills (led by Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin).
  • Super Bowl XXVIII (1994): Defeated the Buffalo Bills.
  • Super Bowl XXX (1996): Defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Cowboys also hold the unique record of having the only Super Bowl MVP from a losing team: linebacker Chuck Howley, who won the award in Super Bowl V. The 1990s teams, coached by Jimmy Johnson and later Barry Switzer, are considered one of the most talented rosters ever assembled.

Tied for #3: San Francisco 49ers (5 Wins)

The San Francisco 49ers established their championship pedigree with the revolutionary "West Coast Offense" and the brilliance of quarterback Joe Montana. The 49ers were the first team to win five Super Bowls without a single loss in the championship game, a perfect streak that was only broken in the 2010s.

  • Super Bowl XVI (1982): Defeated the Cincinnati Bengals.
  • Super Bowl XIX (1985): Defeated the Miami Dolphins.
  • Super Bowl XXIII (1989): Defeated the Cincinnati Bengals.
  • Super Bowl XXIV (1990): Defeated the Denver Broncos.
  • Super Bowl XXIX (1995): Defeated the San Diego Chargers.

The era was defined by the coaching genius of Bill Walsh, the passing accuracy of Joe Montana, and later the emergence of Steve Young. Montana's three Super Bowl MVP awards—the first player to achieve that milestone—highlighted the team's offensive firepower.

The Individual Super Bowl Records That May Never Be Broken

While team records are impressive, the most dominant eras are often defined by the singular achievements of the individuals who led them. The personal records for Super Bowl victories are even more difficult to surpass in the modern era of free agency and salary caps.

Most Super Bowl Wins by a Player: Tom Brady (7 Rings)

Tom Brady stands alone with a staggering seven Super Bowl rings, more than any individual player and more than any single NFL franchise. His seven victories span two different franchises: six with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Super Bowl LV). Brady's longevity and consistent excellence at the quarterback position is widely considered the greatest achievement in the history of the sport.

Following Brady is defensive end Charles Haley, who won five Super Bowls with two different teams: two with the San Francisco 49ers and three with the Dallas Cowboys.

Most Super Bowl Wins by a Head Coach: Bill Belichick (6 Wins)

Bill Belichick holds the record for the most Super Bowl victories by a head coach, all six coming during his legendary tenure with the New England Patriots. Belichick's strategic brilliance and ability to consistently adapt his team's defensive and offensive schemes to the competition is unmatched. He also holds the record for the most Super Bowl appearances as a head coach, with nine.

The next closest coaches are Chuck Noll (Pittsburgh Steelers) with four wins, and Bill Walsh (San Francisco 49ers) and Joe Gibbs (Washington Commanders) tied with three wins each.

The Next Contenders: Teams on the Cusp of the Elite Tier

The landscape of the NFL is constantly shifting, and several franchises are actively pursuing their sixth championship to join the Patriots and Steelers at the top. The San Francisco 49ers, with their five titles, are the most immediate threat to tie the record. Their recent Super Bowl appearances show they are a perennial contender in the NFC.

The Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants are the next teams on the list, each currently holding four Super Bowl titles. The Packers, led by legendary quarterbacks like Bart Starr and Brett Favre, and more recently Aaron Rodgers, have a rich history of championships. The Giants' four rings are notable for their upsets over heavily favored teams, particularly their two victories over the Patriots dynasty in Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLVI, both led by quarterback Eli Manning.

As the NFL moves toward Super Bowl LX (60), the competition to join the six-win club intensifies. The Kansas City Chiefs, with their recent success under Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, are rapidly climbing the list, aiming to become the next great NFL dynasty and challenge the long-standing records set by the teams of the past.
