The 2026 Super Bowl has the Seattle Seahawks facing off against the New England Patriots, potentially shaking up the list of NFL teams with the most Super Bowl wins, and players with the most rings. 

The 2025 Super Bowl saw the Philadelphia Eagles easily defeat Kansas City 40-22, avenging their loss from two years earlier and preventing Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs from becoming the first three-peat Super Bowl winners in NFL history. The win also earned the Eagles their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. The Eagles earned their first title in 2018, after defeating the Patriots 41-33 with backup quarterback Nick Foles in what became an instant classic. 

This year, the New England Patriots will look to take sole possession of the record for most Super Bowl wins. They are currently tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for most wins all time with six. It would be Mike Vrabel’s first Super Bowl win as a head coach after he won three with the Patriots during his standout career as a linebacker.

On the other side, the Seahawks hope to score the franchise’s second Super Bowl win. They came tantalizingly close to winning back-to-back titles in 2015, when, on the verge of a go-ahead score in the waning seconds against the Patriots, cornerback Malcolm Butler picked off Russel Wilson in the end zone to wrest the victory away from Seattle. Sunday marks the Seahawks’ first return to the big game since that heartbreaking loss.

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 12, having lost the title game five times. The Steelers have eight appearances, with two losses.

The San Francisco 49ers missed winning their sixth franchise title in the 2024 Super Bowl, which would have moved them into a three-way tie with the Patriots and Steelers. They remain tied with Dallas for second place with five Super Bowl wins.

Third place is held by three teams, the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants, each 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.

Charles Haley has the second most Super Bowl wins, with five. Haley played both linebacker and defensive end throughout his career with the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. Haley won the 1989 and 1990 Super Bowls with the Niners, and then went on to win three more titles with the Cowboys in 1993, 1994 and 1996.
