Super Bowl Winners: Complete History

The Super Bowl isn’t only the final game of the NFL season, which crowns the league’s champion; it’s also an entertainment spectacle that draws well over 100 million viewers every February for the game, commercials, and halftime show. 

All year long, 32 NFL franchises compete across 18 weeks and 17 games, starting in the regular season in September, to determine who will win their divisions and earn Wild Card spots. From there, games are played, and within a few weeks, the Super Bowl teams from each conference, the AFC and NFC, are crowned. 

Below, we’ll dive more into the Super Bowl, looking at a complete list of winners, teams with the most Super Bowls, teams that have never won, and more.
