As of 2025, the NFL has existed for more than a century. Since its inception as the American Professional Football Association in 1920, the league has undergone many changes. After being renamed the NFL in 1922, the winner of every season has been decided via the NFL Championship Game since 1933. However, a merger with the American Football League ended that system. Instead, the current model took its place, with the final game becoming the Super Bowl from the third season onwards.

Every year, without fail, Super Bowl Sunday sees the finale of yet another epic NFL season with the two best teams facing off for the right to call themselves the best team in the game and be awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Each player on the winning side receives a championship ring, a tradition since time immemorial. In the nearly 60 years since the tradition began, the Super Bowl has seen a variety of winners. In fact, out of the 32 teams in the NFL, 20 of them have won at least one Super Bowl title.

The player with the most Super Bowl rings

Tom Brady owns the record for most Super Bowl Rings of all time as of February 2025. While the NFL has seen many dynasties since the Super Bowl came into inception, none were as long-lasting as the one with the New England Patriots. As a result, while the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, and the Dallas Cowboys, all formed formidable dynasties, it was the one in New England that paved the way for Brady’s success.

Even though both the Steelers and the Patriots have 6 rings each, Brady eclipses every player and team in his cumulative total. Quarterback for each of the Patriots’ rings, Tom was successful one more time with a different franchise. Making a switch to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the already 6-time Champion was able to add yet another feather to his cap with a seventh Super Bowl win in 2021.

However, a special mention must go out to Brady’s coach on the Patriots. Bill Belichick is the only man to lay a claim to 8 Super Bowl victories. While the mastermind behind historic Patriots defenses that compiled 6 rings, his defensive brilliance was also on display as a defensive coordinator for the New York Giants when they won 2 rings in the 1986 and 1990 seasons.

Players with the most consecutive championships

The only player to win three consecutive Super Bowls is Ken Norton Jr as of February 7, 2025. A member of the legendary Cowboys dynasty in the early 1990s, Norton would shift teams after two consecutive victories. His destination? Eventual Super Bowl Champions - the San Francisco 49ers. As a result, Norton’s record for consecutive victories reached 3, a mark that still remains uneclipsed as of February 7, 2025 (via CBS Sports).
