The winning Super Bowl team receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

The Super Bowl is an annual American football game that determines the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The contest is held in an American city that is chosen three to four years beforehand,[1] usually in warm-weather or domed sites.[2] Since 1971, the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game has faced the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game in the culmination of the NFL playoffs. Before the 1970 merger between the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL), the two leagues met in a World Championship Game and Super Bowl III in 1969 was the first Super Bowl that carried the "Super Bowl" moniker at the time of the game.[3] The NFC leads in Super Bowl wins with 24, while the AFC has won 21. Eighteen different franchises, including teams that relocated to another city, have won the Super Bowl.[4] The NFL and AFL each won two World Championships.[4]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have won the most Super Bowls with six championships (record 6–2), while both the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers have five wins each (Cowboys 5–3; 49ers a perfect 5–0). Dallas and Pittsburgh have the most Super Bowl appearances with eight, while the Buffalo Bills have the most consecutive appearances with four losses in a row from 1991 to 1994. The Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings have also lost a record four Super Bowls. Buffalo and Minnesota are both 0–4 and Denver is 2–4. The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises: the 1967-68 Green Bay Packers, the 1973-74 Miami Dolphins, the 1975-76 and 1979-80 Steelers (the only team to accomplish this feat twice), the 1989-90 49ers, the 1993-94 Cowboys, the 1998-99 Broncos, and the 2004-05 New England Patriots. Of these, only the 1993-94 Cowboys and Bills have competed in the championship in consecutive years, with the Cowboys winning both contests.

  1. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Both Los Angeles and Pasadena, California are in the Greater Los Angeles Area,[46] Pontiac, Michigan is a suburb of Detroit, Michigan,[47] and both Tempe, Arizona and Glendale, Arizona are suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona.[48][49]
  2. ^ a b c d e f g h i j Miami Gardens was incorporated as a suburb of Miami in 2003. Prior to that, it had been an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County but the stadium had a Miami address.[55]
  3. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t Wild card qualifier.
  4. ^ a b c d e f g h Qualcomm Stadium was originally known as San Diego Stadium and Jack Murphy Stadium.[52] Dolphin Stadium has also been variously known over the years as Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Stadium, and Dolphins Stadium (with a plural "s"). Its subsequent name of Dolphin Stadium (with no "s") was also the original name it was given when first built. It is currently known as Sun Life Stadium.[53][54]
  5. ^ a b c d The Colts are the only team that played a pre AFL–NFL merger Super Bowl for the NFL, and then moved to the AFC in 1970. Although members of the old NFL before the 1970 merger, the Steelers and Browns did not play in a Super Bowl before moving to the AFC post-merger.
  6. ^ a b The Seahawks switched conferences with the newly founded Buccaneers in 1977 but switched back to the NFC in 2002 due to an NFL realignment plan after the Houston Texans were admitted. They reached the Super Bowl for the first time in 2005. The Buccaneers reached the Super Bowl for the first time in 2002.
