The 2024 Super Bowlsaw theKansas City Chiefsdefeat the San Francisco 49ers in overtime 25-22 on Sunday night.

Patrick Mahomes has his third Super Bowlwin, moving him into a tie with Troy Aikman for the third most Super Bowl rings of any quarterback in NFL history. The San Francisco 49ers were hoping to win their sixth Super Bowl in franchise history, moving them into a three-way tie for first place.

Below is a list of the teams and players who have won the most Super Bowls in NFL history.

Note: All Super Bowls in this article are categorized by the year in which the game itself was played, not the season for which the title was earned. This article also does not take into account NFL championships prior to 1967, when the first Super Bowl was played.

Which teams have the most Super Bowl wins?

The New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers are both tied for the most Super Bowl wins with six each. The Patriots also have the most Super Bowl appearances in history with 11, having lost the title game five times. The Steelers have eight appearances, giving them two losses.

If the San Francisco 49ers had won the 2024 Super Bowl, they would also win their sixth title in franchise history, moving them into a three-way tie with the Patriots and Steelers. The Niners are currently tied with Dallas for second place with five Super Bowls.

Third place is also held by two teams, the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants, both with four Super Bowl wins.

No team has ever won three Super Bowls in a row, but several teams have won back-to-back titles: the Patriots, 49ers, Packers, Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos and the Steelers — who accomplished the feat on two separate occasions.

Which players have the most Super Bowl wins overall?

Tom Brady has won the most Super Bowls of any player in NFL history with seven. Brady won the 2002, 2004, 2005, 2015, 2017, and 2019 Super Bowls quarterbacking the New England Patriots, and the 2021 Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Brady also has the most Super Bowl appearances of any player in NFL history, having competed for the championship 10 times in his career. His losses came at the hands of the New York Giants in 2008 and 2012, and to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. The 2008 loss prevented the Pats from achieving what would have been a 19-0 record and just the second-ever undefeated season in NFL history.
