List of Super Bowl champions facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Super Bowl is the biggest game in American football each year. It decides the champion of the National Football League (NFL). This exciting game happens after a long season and the playoffs. The winning team gets the famous Vince Lombardi Trophy. Cities are chosen years ahead to host the Super Bowl, usually in warm places or domed stadiums. Since 1971, the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) plays against the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC).

Before the NFL and American Football League (AFL) joined together in 1970, they played four championship games. The first two were called the "AFL–NFL World Championship Game". People also sometimes called them "the Super Bowl game" on TV. The name "Super Bowl" became official for Super Bowl III in 1969. The first two games were later renamed "Super Bowl I" and "Super Bowl II".

Twenty different teams have won the Super Bowl. Some of these teams have moved or changed their names. Four NFL teams have never played in a Super Bowl: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans. However, the Browns and Lions won NFL Championship Games before the Super Bowl started in 1966.

The 1972 Miami Dolphins are special because they had the only perfect season in NFL history. They won Super Bowl VII without losing any games! Only two teams have won the Super Bowl in their own home stadium: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV and the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI.

Teams with Consecutive Super Bowl Wins

1986 Jeno's Pizza - 46 - Terry Bradshaw (cropped)

The Steelers beat the Rams in Super Bowl XIV. This gave them four championships in just six years!

Seven teams have won the Super Bowl two times in a row. The Pittsburgh Steelers have even done it twice!

Green Bay Packers (Super Bowls I and II)
Miami Dolphins (VII and VIII)
Pittsburgh Steelers (twice: IX and X; then again XIII and XIV)
San Francisco 49ers (XXIII and XXIV)
Dallas Cowboys (XXVII and XXVIII)
Denver Broncos (XXXII and XXXIII)
New England Patriots (XXXVIII and XXXIX)

No team has ever won three Super Bowls in a row. Some teams came very close to a "three-peat":

The Green Bay Packers won the first two Super Bowls. They also won the NFL Championship the year before the Super Bowl started.
The Miami Dolphins played in three Super Bowls in a row. They won the last two of those games.
The Dallas Cowboys won two Super Bowls in a row. The next year, they lost in the NFC Championship Game. They won another Super Bowl two years later, making it three wins in four seasons.
The Kansas City Chiefs played in four Super Bowls in five years. They won two of them.
The New England Patriots won three Super Bowls in five seasons. They also played in another Super Bowl during that time, making it four appearances in five years.
The Pittsburgh Steelers won two Super Bowls in a row, then lost in the AFC Championship Game. They later won two more Super Bowls in a row, giving them four titles in six seasons.
The San Francisco 49ers won two Super Bowls in a row. The next season, they lost in the NFC Championship Game.

Teams with Consecutive Super Bowl Losses

Three teams have lost the Super Bowl two or more times in a row:

Buffalo Bills (4 losses in a row): They are the only team to play in four straight Super Bowls (1990 to 1993) and lose all of them.
Minnesota Vikings (2 losses in a row): They lost VIII and IX. They also lost Super Bowl XI.
Denver Broncos (2 losses in a row): They lost XXI and XXII. They also lost Super Bowl XXIV.

Teams with Consecutive Super Bowl Appearances

The Buffalo Bills hold the record for most consecutive appearances with four (1990-1993). The Miami Dolphins (1971-1973) and New England Patriots (2016-2018) are the only other teams with at least three straight appearances. All three of these teams are from the AFC East division.

In total, 11 teams have played in at least two Super Bowls in a row. The Dallas Cowboys are the only team to have three separate streaks of consecutive appearances. The Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots each have two separate streaks. The Kansas City Chiefs are the most recent team to appear in consecutive Super Bowls, playing in Super Bowl LVII and Super Bowl LVIII.

Here is a list of teams with consecutive appearances, in order of when their first streak happened. Winning games are shown in bold:

Green Bay Packers (twice: Super Bowls I and II; XXXI and XXXII)
Dallas Cowboys (thrice: V and VI; XII and XIII; XXVII and XXVIII)
Miami Dolphins (VI, VII, and VIII)
Minnesota Vikings (VIII and IX)
Pittsburgh Steelers (twice: IX and X; XIII and XIV)
Washington Redskins (XVII and XVIII)
Denver Broncos (twice: XXI and XXII; XXXII and XXXIII)
San Francisco 49ers (XXIII and XXIV)
Buffalo Bills (XXV, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII)
New England Patriots (twice: XXXVIII and XXXIX; LI, LII, and LIII)
Seattle Seahawks (XLVIII and XLIX)
Kansas City Chiefs (twice: LIV and LV; LVII and LVIII)
