Let's dive in to learn more about these, plus other amazing teams.
Kansas City Chiefs (Plus New York Giants & Green Bay Packers)In the fifth spot, we have three teams:the Kansas City Chiefs, the New York Giants, and the Green Bay Packers.Each won the Super Bowl four times as of 2024.
The Kansas City ChiefsIn total, the Chiefs appeared in six Super Bowls. They only lost two when going against the Green Bay Packers. The first loss was in 1967 at the first-ever Super Bowl. The second one was at the Super Bowl LV in 2021.
That said, the Chiefs have been a powerhouse in the last few years. They won the two most recent Super Bowls (2023 and 2024), the latter of which was the most-viewed Super Bowl in history, with 123.4 million viewers.
The team's records don't stop there, though. Their 2023 Super Bowl was the third-highest-scoring final in history.
On top of that, the Chiefs' QB Patrick Mahomes earned three MVP awards, two of them back-to-back.
The New York Giants
The New York Giants also boast four Super Bowl wins, with the last one coming in 2012 (Super Bowl XLVI).
They earned their last win against the Patriots (21-17), and this game was the fifth-most watched Super Bowl of all time, with 111.35 million viewers in the US alone.
Their star quarterback, Eli Manning-who joined the Giants in the 2004 season-is well-known for leading them to two unexpected Super Bowl victories in 2008 and 2012, both against the New England Patriots.
Manning earned his two MVP titles at these games thanks to his memorable drives and touchdowns.

The 1967 game also saw the first-ever Super Bowl MVP award, which went to Packers' QB Brett Starr. He later took them to another victory the following year, securing a 33-14 win against the Oakland Raiders.
Source: StatistaIt would be another 30 years before the Wisconsin team's next victory in Super Bowl XXXI, played in 1997. That game was the only time an MVP award was given for special team play.
The honor went to wide receiver Desmond Howard, who earned the title for the longest kick return with a 99-yard return for a touchdown in history. The Packers ended the game 35-21.
San Francisco 49ersThe Niners appeared in eight Super Bowls, including the most recent one (LVIII), which they lost to the Chiefs.
Despite this upset, they still boast five Super Bowl wins to date, the last one in 1990 against the Denver Broncos. Their outstanding 55-10 victory made this the most lopsided match in history.
The San Francisco 49ers are also home to a three-time MVP award winner.
first team with two MVP awardees
Source: StatistaThe 1990 Super Bowl XXIV marked the third time that Niners quarterback Joe Montana had won an MVP award. He had previously won it in 1982 and 1985.
The 1982 Super Bowl XVI was the 49ers' first-ever Super Bowl victory, which featured Montana's staggering pass for 157 yards and a touchdown.
Dallas CowboysLike the 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys have won five Super Bowls and reached the NFL finals eight times.
Their last appearance was in Super Bowl XXX in 1996 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which they won 27-17.
The Dallas Cowboys also produced the most Super Bowl MVPs-seven in total.
When the Cowboys won Super Bowl XII in 1978 against the Denver Broncos (27-10), they became the first team with two MVP awardees-Randy White and Harvey Martin. To date, no other team has managed this feat.
And in the last Super Bowl they won, the Cowboys named Larry Brown Jr. MVP, making him the first cornerback to earn the award.
The Cowboys are also the only losing team to have an MVP. In Super Bowl V, which they lost 16-13 to the Baltimore Colts-widely considered one of the worst NFL matches ever-linebacker Chuck Howley earned the award after picking off two Colts passes.
New England PatriotsThe two teams topping our list won six Super Bowls each. The first one we'll look at is the New England Patriots.
Their record is truly impressive. Not only are the Patriots top of the list for the most Super Bowl wins, but they also appeared in the Super Bowl eleven times-more than any other NFL team.
These records are largely possible thanks to their coach Bill Belichick, the highest-paid NFL coach of all time.
Notably, their Super Bowl XLIV match against the Seattle Seahawks, which they won 28-24, was the second-most-watched Super Bowl in history. It amassed 118.5 million viewers and brought the Patriots their fourth victory.
The team's last game was in Super Bowl LIII in 2019, a game they won 13-3 against the Los Angeles Rams. This was their third consecutive appearance after having played against the Philadelphia Eagles (losing the LII 41-33) and the Atlanta Falcons (winning the LI 34-28).
Their Super Bowl LI match against the Atlanta Falcons was one of the greatest comebacks in NFL history.
The Patriots managed to come back" from a 28-3 deficit thanks to Brady's four touchdown drives. As a result, Brady earned his record fourth MVP title. However, he is no longer on the team as of 2019.

The Steelers' first-ever appearance was in 1975 at Super Bowl IX, when they won 16-6 against the Minnesota Vikings. It was the first game of Terry Bradshaw, who'd become the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls.
Bradshaw's most notable moment on the team came during Super Bowl XIII, when he scored 17 passes for 318 yards and four touchdowns, leading the Steelers to victory against the Cowboys.
This impressive record earned him his first MVP award. He repeated the feat the next year, earning the Steelers a 31-19 win against the Rams.
