How to Read This List and What Counts as a Super Bowl Win
Before reviewing the teams, it is helpful to understand what qualifies as an NFL championship in the modern era:
- The Super Bowl determines the champion of a single season, played in the calendar year after the regular season and playoffs conclude.
- Each winning team earns one championship ring and is considered an NFL champion for that season.
- A franchise may appear in the list more than once if it has won multiple Super Bowls in different seasons.
- No ties have ever occurred in Super Bowl history; a winner is crowned in every game.
