The Super Bowl is more than a game​​—it’s the apex of American sports and culture. That means the trophy the two teams play for is more than just a trophy. It’s a symbol of excellence that will be remembered forever. 

Behind every victory there lies a story that played out over the course of months. As players and coaches overcame trials and tribulations to scratch and claw out wins, climb atop the standings and advance—and win—the biggest game in the world. 

This list covers every Super Bowl champion.

The First Super Bowl: Green Bay Packers Defeat Kansas City Chiefs (1967)

The first Super Bowl certainly lacked the pageantry that current iterations have, it was still a crucial milestone in the history of professional football. 

It was called the AFL-NFL World Championship and featured Vince Lombardi and the Packers defeating the Chiefs at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum 35-10 on Jan. 15, 1967. With Super Bowl ticket prices routinely hitting $1,000+ today, it might be a bit shocking to know that Super Bowl I failed to sell out, with more than 30,000 empty seats at kickoff. 

Still, more than 50 million Americans tuned into both CBS and NBC to watch the game. It confirmed that public interest was definitely there for a championship game. 

The Packers would also win Super Bowl II, and in 1970, the NFL would rename the “World Professional Football Championship Trophy” to the Vince Lombardi Trophy. 

Notable Super Bowl Dynasties

In a league that demands parity from its members, some NFL franchises haven’t just climbed to the mountaintop but managed to establish residency there. 

Dallas Cowboys: Dallas won three titles in four years (1992, 1993 and 1995), all of which came in dominant fashion. Led by Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith, the Cowboys fell just short of the Super Bowl in 1994. Some say that Dallas’ roster being so good was the reason the NFL instituted the free agency policy we’re now so familiar with in 1993. 

San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers captured four championships in nine years (1981, 1984, 1988 and 1989) and did so with two different quarterbacks and coaches. Quarterback Joe Montana and head coach Bill Walsh won the first three, with Steve Young and George Seifert winning the last. San Francisco’s West Coast offensive scheme revolutionized the NFL, and the team was fortunate enough to have two Hall of Fame quarterbacks through the 1980s and ’90s. 

New England Patriots: New England has created two individual dynasties since 2001. The Patriots won three titles in four years (2001, 2003 and 2004) in the early 2000s and then won three in five years (2014, 2016 and 2018) in the 2010s. Head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady remained constants for both runs. 

Pittsburgh Steelers: Pittsburgh won four championships in six years (1974, 1975, 1978 and 1979), dominating the ’70s. The Steelers remain the only franchise to win back-to-back Super Bowls on two separate occasions. 

Kansas City Chiefs: Kansas City is the NFL’s latest dynasty, capturing three Super Bowls in a five-year span (2019, 2022 and 2023). The Chiefs also appeared in a fourth Super Bowl during that stretch, but fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kansas City is currently one of the favorites to appear in Super Bowl LIX.

The Largest and Smallest Margins of Victory in Super Bowl History

The biggest blowout in Super Bowl history came on Jan. 28, 1990. The 49ers decimated the Denver Broncos 55–10 at Super Bowl XXIV. Three first-half touchdown passes from Montana had San Francisco up 27–3 at halftime. Denver’s lone touchdown came in the third quarter, and the 45-point margin of victory stands alone as the largest ever.

The smallest margin of victory is three points, which has happened nine times. The first occurrence was Super Bowl V, in which Baltimore defeated Dallas 16–13. The other eight times all happened within the last 16 years, including three-straight times dating back to 2022. 

Super Bowl Underdog Wins

The New York Jets defeating the then-Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III remains the biggest upset in Super Bowl history. The Colts were 18-point favorites before getting stunned by Broadway Joe Namath 16–7. 

Brady and the Patriots’ first Super Bowl victory is the second-biggest upset. The then-St. Louis Rams closed as a 14-point favorite in Super Bowl XXXVI, but the Patriots prevailed 20–17. 

The New York Giants upset a Patriots team that was favored by 12.5-points in Super Bowl XLII, preventing New England from becoming the second team in history to finish undefeated. 

Viewed as an unbeatable team, the Minnesota Vikings—dubbed the “Purple People Eaters”—were 12-point favorites over the Chiefs in Super Bowl IV. Kansas City (and the AFL as a whole) wasn’t considered to be a viable threat, but it was the Chiefs who were victorious. 

Notable Super Bowl Moments and Records

Brady has the most Super Bowl wins with seven and also has the most Super Bowl MVP awards with five. Brady is also the only player in NFL history to win a Super Bowl in three different decades. 

Three players are tied for the most Super Bowl losses. Offensive lineman Glenn Parker, linebacker Cornelius Bennett and quarterback Gale Gilbert have all lost five Super Bowls. 

Ken Norton Jr. spent 13 years in the NFL with the Cowboys and 49ers. He is the only player in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls (XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX). 

Jerry Rice has scored the most points in Super Bowl history. Rice scored 48 points with the 49ers and Oakland Raiders. Rice also has the most receiving yards with 589. However, Rice does not hold the record for most catches in a single Super Bowl—that honor goes to Patriots running back James White (14). 

The most common matchup in Super Bowl history is Dallas vs Pittsburgh, which has occurred three times. 

There has never been a shutout in Super Bowl history.
