THE RAFTERS — NFL CHAMPIONSHIPS (Complete List)

8StarSports · The Rafters · NFL foundation pack. Compiled October 19, 2026.

The roll ends at Super Bowl LX (2025 season, played Feb 8, 2026) — the last Super Bowl completed as of this compile. Super Bowl LXI has not been played and no result is shown for it. Method: No figure from memory alone. Every row below was corroborated by at least two independent sources actually fetched during research; the full verification trail — source log, disputes register, and UNVERIFIED items — is in the companion file nfl-sources-and-notes.md. Season convention: Games are listed by season year, not calendar year of the game. A Super Bowl played in Jan/Feb 2026 belongs to the 2025 season. Stadium names are given as listed in the List of Super Bowl champions source; several stadiums have been renamed since (see §6).

Sources (summary)

Full source log [S1]–[S10] and verification trail: see nfl-sources-and-notes.md. In brief: §1 rests on the List of Super Bowl champions + History of the NFL championship, cross-checked against SI (I–XL), WSN/USA TODAY (XXX–LIX), USA TODAY's locations list, and February 2026 reporting for LX (BusinessWorld/AFP/People/TSN; also NBC Sports, ESPN, sportradar, and Pro Football Reference's LX box score at compile). §3 rests on the professional championship games list + List of AFL/AFC champions — all 10 scores agree. A low-quality content-farm page (staging.advance-he.org) that misstates recent Super Bowls including LIX was identified and not used (see §6 and the companion notes file).

Notes on §1: Super Bowl 50 is officially styled "50" (Arabic), not "L" [S1]. I–IV were the AFL–NFL World Championship Games; "Super Bowl" was official from III and retroactively applied to I–II [S1][S2]. LVIII venue city is listed as Paradise, NV in [S1] and commonly as Las Vegas in [S4] — same stadium (Allegiant); see §6. XLIX/XLII stadium is now State Farm Stadium (was University of Phoenix Stadium) [S1].

2. NFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES 1933–1965

Sources for this section: [S2] (winner/score/loser/venue for all 33 rows) + [S6] (independent score check, 1953–1965 rows and spot rows earlier) + [S10] (1958 spot-check). City is the city of the named venue; [S2] lists venue only, so city follows the venue's well-documented location (e.g., Wrigley Field = Chicago, Polo Grounds = New York). The one venue-name disagreement found (1939) is flagged in §6.

Divisional/conference playoff notes (brief — only where needed to explain the matchup) [S2]:

1950: Both conferences finished tied, so one-game playoffs were required in both conferences before the championship game; Cleveland (American) and Los Angeles (National) won them and advanced to the final above. (Playoff scores not included — not corroborated in this pass.)
1957: A Western Conference playoff was required; Detroit won it and advanced to beat Cleveland 59–14. (Playoff score not included — not corroborated in this pass.)
1958: An Eastern Conference playoff was required; New York won it and advanced to the final above, the first NFL title game decided in sudden-death overtime [S2][S10].
1965: Green Bay and Baltimore tied for first in the Western Conference (both 10–3–1). With no tiebreaker system, a conference playoff was held Dec 26, 1965; Green Bay won in overtime on a controversial field goal, then beat Cleveland on Jan 2, 1966 — the first NFL champion crowned in January [S2]. (Playoff score not included — not corroborated in this pass.)
General rule of the era [S2]: conference ties produced an extra playoff game in nine seasons (1941, 1943, 1947, 1950 ×2, 1952, 1957, 1958, 1965); home field for the title game alternated by division/conference, it was not earned by record (except 1933).

3. AFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES 1960–1969 (separate league — do not merge with §2)

Sources for this section: [S6] (full table with dates/venues + scores) + [S7] (champions/runners-up). All 10 scores agree across both.

Season	Winner	Runner-up	Score	Date / Site (for reference)
1960	Houston Oilers	Los Angeles Chargers	24–16	Jan 1, 1961 — Jeppesen Stadium, Houston, TX
1961	Houston Oilers	San Diego Chargers	10–3	Dec 24, 1961 — Balboa Stadium, San Diego, CA
1962	Dallas Texans	Houston Oilers	20–17 (2OT)	Dec 23, 1962 — Jeppesen Stadium, Houston, TX
1963	San Diego Chargers	Boston Patriots	51–10	Jan 5, 1964 — Balboa Stadium, San Diego, CA
1964	Buffalo Bills	San Diego Chargers	20–7	Dec 26, 1964 — War Memorial Stadium, Buffalo, NY
1965	Buffalo Bills	San Diego Chargers	23–0	Dec 26, 1965 — Balboa Stadium, San Diego, CA
1966	Kansas City Chiefs	Buffalo Bills	31–7	Jan 1, 1967 — War Memorial Stadium, Buffalo, NY
1967	Oakland Raiders	Houston Oilers	40–7	Dec 31, 1967 — Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, CA
1968	New York Jets	Oakland Raiders	27–23	Dec 29, 1968 — Shea Stadium, New York, NY
1969	Kansas City Chiefs	Oakland Raiders	17–7	Jan 4, 1970 — Oakland–Alameda County Coliseum, Oakland, CA

Notes: The Dallas Texans became the Kansas City Chiefs (same franchise). The 1963 final required an Eastern Division playoff first: Boston Patriots 26, Buffalo Bills 8, Dec 28, 1963, at Buffalo [S6]. From 1966 onward the AFL champion advanced to the Super Bowl (see §1): the 1966 Chiefs lost SB I, the 1967 Raiders lost SB II, the 1968 Jets won SB III, the 1969 Chiefs won SB IV. The 1969 game was the last AFL Championship Game before the merger [S6].

4. PRE-1933 NFL CHAMPIONS 1920–1932 (decided by standings)

Sources for this section: [S2] (standings table: champion, W–L–T, pct.) + [S9] (dispute narratives). How decided: no championship game — champion was the team with the best winning percentage, with ties excluded from the calculation; teams played unequal schedules [S2]. The parenthetical record is the champion's W–L–T as listed in [S2].

Season	Champion (official)	Record (W–L–T)	How decided / notes
1920	Akron Pros	8–0–3	Undefeated. DISPUTED: Buffalo All-Americans and Decatur Staleys, both of which had tied Akron and won more games, petitioned for a share; denied, Akron awarded the Brunswick-Balke Collender Cup. Under modern tiebreakers Akron and Buffalo would be co-champions [S2].
1921	Chicago Staleys (now Chicago Bears)	9–1–1	DISPUTED: Buffalo All-Americans claimed the teams' final meeting was an exhibition and should not count; Halas and the league counted it, giving Chicago the title on a de facto tiebreaker (effectively tied standings; Chicago had one fewer tie) [S2][S9]. Buffalo's claim is the classic "Staley Swindle" grievance.
1922	Canton Bulldogs	10–0–2	Standings; undefeated. No dispute flagged in sources.
1923	Canton Bulldogs	11–0–1	Standings; undefeated. Second straight Canton title.
1924	Cleveland Bulldogs	7–1–1	DISPUTED (lesser-known): Chicago tried to use a final game vs. Cleveland as a de facto decider (the 1921 tactic); the league ruled the opposite way, declared that game "post-season," and Cleveland kept the title [S2].
1925	Chicago Cardinals (official)	11–2–1	THE classic dispute. Pottsville Maroons beat Chicago 21–7 head-to-head and stood first, then were suspended by Commissioner Carr for playing an unauthorized exhibition vs. Notre Dame All-Stars at Shibe Park, Philadelphia (Frankford's territory), after three warnings; fined $500 and franchise revoked for the season. Chicago then hastily scheduled Milwaukee and Hammond, won both to pass Pottsville — the Milwaukee game used ineligible (high-school) players, also against the rules, yet stood. Owner Chris O'Brien refused the title as not won on the field; the championship was left unclaimed until the Bidwill family bought the Cardinals in 1933 and claimed it. The NFL still officially recognizes Chicago; a Maroons self-made trophy sits in the Pro Football Hall of Fame [S2][S9].
1926	Frankford Yellow Jackets	14–1–2	Standings. No dispute flagged in sources.
1927	New York Giants	11–1–1	Standings. No dispute flagged in sources.
1928	Providence Steam Roller	8–1–2	Standings. No dispute flagged in sources.
1929	Green Bay Packers	12–0–1	Standings; undefeated. First of three straight Green Bay titles.
1930	Green Bay Packers	10–3–1	Standings. Note: had ties counted as half-wins (post-1972 method), New York would have won instead [S2] — a scoring-method quirk, not an official dispute.
1931	Green Bay Packers	12–2–0	Standings. Three-peat completed.
1932	Chicago Bears	7–1–6 (incl. playoff)	Indoor playoff game: Chicago and Portsmouth Spartans tied atop the standings at .857 (ties excluded; Green Bay had more wins, 10–3–1, but a lower percentage). The league arranged a one-game playoff, Dec 18, 1932. Blizzard/sub-zero cold moved it indoors to Chicago Stadium on a modified 80-yard dirt field with goal posts on the goal line. Chicago Bears 9, Portsmouth Spartans 0. The game counted in the standings, dropping Portsmouth to third behind Green Bay. Its success/rules experiments led directly to the two-division format and scheduled championship game in 1933 [S2][S9]. Portsmouth became the Detroit Lions in 1934.

5. FRANCHISE CHAMPIONSHIP TOTALS

BASIS — READ FIRST (stated per assignment):

"NFL / pre-SB titles" = league championships won in the NFL before the Super Bowl era: standings titles 1920–1932 (§4) + NFL Championship Games 1933–1965 (§2) + the NFL titles decided by Super Bowls I–IV for NFL clubs is not double-counted — Super Bowl wins are shown only in the Super Bowl column.
"AFL titles" = AFL Championship Games 1960–1969 (§3), counted for AFL franchises in addition to Super Bowl wins. Overlap warning: in 1968 and 1969 the AFL title and the Super Bowl were won in the same season by the same franchise (Jets 1968; Chiefs 1969). The "Total (title events)" column therefore counts title events; the "Distinct title seasons" note in §6 gives the de-duplicated count where it differs.
AAFC titles are EXCLUDED from all totals (NFL does not recognize AAFC championships). Cleveland's 4 AAFC titles (1946–1949) and San Francisco's 0 AAFC titles are flagged in the note below the table, not in the numbers.
NFL-basis totals (pre-SB + Super Bowl only) were corroborated against the "NFL championships by franchise" table in [S2]; AFL counts against [S6][S7]; Super Bowl counts against [S1] franchise records table.

Franchise (current identity)	Total (title events, basis above)	NFL / pre-SB titles	Super Bowl wins	AFL titles	Most recent title season
Green Bay Packers	13	9	4	0	2010
Chicago Bears	9	8	1	0	1985
New York Giants	8	4	4	0	2011
Kansas City Chiefs (incl. Dallas Texans)	7 *	0	4	3	2023
New England Patriots	6	0	6	0	2018
Pittsburgh Steelers	6	0	6	0	2008
Dallas Cowboys	5	0	5	0	1995
Philadelphia Eagles	5	3	2	0	2024
San Francisco 49ers	5	0	5	0	1994
Washington Commanders	5	2	3	0	1991
Baltimore / Indianapolis Colts	4	2	2	0	2006
Cleveland Browns	4 †	4	0	0	1964
Detroit Lions	4	4	0	0	1957
Los Angeles Rams (Cleveland / St. Louis / LA)	4	2	2	0	2021
Las Vegas Raiders (Oakland / LA)	4 *	0	3	1	1983
Denver Broncos	3	0	3	0	2015
Arizona Cardinals (Chicago / St. Louis / Phoenix)	2	2	0	0	1947
Baltimore Ravens	2	0	2	0	2012
Buffalo Bills	2	0	0	2	1965
Canton Bulldogs (defunct)	2	2	0	0	1923
Houston Oilers / Tennessee Titans	2	0	0	2	1961
Miami Dolphins	2	0	2	0	1973
New York Jets	2 *	0	1	1	1968
Seattle Seahawks	2	0	2	0	2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers	2	0	2	0	2020
Akron Pros (defunct)	1	1	0	0	1920
Cleveland Bulldogs (defunct)	1	1	0	0	1924
Frankford Yellow Jackets (defunct)	1	1	0	0	1926
Los Angeles / San Diego Chargers	1	0	0	1	1963
New Orleans Saints	1	0	1	0	2009
Providence Steam Roller (defunct)	1	1	0	0	1928

\* Overlap franchises — distinct title seasons differ from title events: Kansas City = 6 distinct seasons (1962, 1966, 1969, 2019, 2022, 2023 — the 1969 AFL title and Super Bowl IV are the same season); New York Jets = 1 distinct season (1968 AFL title + Super Bowl III); Raiders = 4 events in 4 distinct seasons (1967 AFL, plus SBs for 1976, 1980, 1983 — no overlap). † Cleveland AAFC flag: The Browns also won 4 AAFC championships (1946, 1947, 1948, 1949). Excluded above per basis. If AAFC titles were counted, Cleveland's total would be 8 and its most recent title season would still be 1964 (NFL). San Francisco played in the AAFC 1946–1949 and won no AAFC title, so no adjustment applies. Franchises with zero league championships (not listed): Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings (note: Minnesota won the 1969 NFL Championship Game — the last one played — but lost Super Bowl IV; that 1969 NFL title is a conference-league title of the pre-merger format and is not counted in this table's NFL/pre-SB column, which counts only titles that made the club overall league champion for seasons before the Super Bowl existed as the decider — see the compiler's basis decision printed below this table), Arizona's predecessors are included under Cardinals.

COMPILER'S BASIS DECISION (recorded at compile, Oct 19, 2026): For 1966–1969, only the Super Bowl counts as the league championship in this table — the standard basis of the Pro Football Hall of Fame–recognized franchise table [S2] (Green Bay 13, Baltimore/Indianapolis 4, Minnesota 0). Green Bay's 1966/67 NFL Championship Game wins are the same seasons as Super Bowls I/II and are not double-counted; Baltimore's 1968 NFL title preceded a Super Bowl III loss; Minnesota's 1969 NFL Championship Game win is therefore not counted as a league championship here. The alternative basis is printed, not hidden: if 1966–69 NFL Championship Game wins were tallied as separate title events, the adjustments would be Green Bay +2, Baltimore Colts +1, Minnesota +1. AFL Championship Game wins ARE counted as title events (§3), including the 1968 Jets and 1969 Chiefs, whose AFL title and Super Bowl came in the same season — hence the "title events vs. distinct seasons" flags in the table.

6. DISPUTES & NOTES

Source disagreements found in this pass:

1939 NFL Championship venue name: [S2] main table lists "Dairy Bowl" (Milwaukee); another crawl of the same article family lists "Wisconsin State Fair Park." Same site (the State Fair Park dairy bowl in Milwaukee/West Allis) — printed as "Dairy Bowl" above with this flag. City (Milwaukee) is not in dispute.
Super Bowl stadium naming (presentational, not factual): Sources list the Miami stadium variously as Joe Robbie / Pro Player / Dolphin(s) / Sun Life / Hard Rock Stadium across eras — it is one stadium in Miami/Miami Gardens [S1 notes]. This list uses the name as listed in [S1] for each game. Likewise University of Phoenix Stadium (XLII, XLIX) is now State Farm Stadium (LVII) [S1]; Louisiana/Mercedes-Benz/Caesars Superdome is one New Orleans stadium [S1].
Super Bowl LVIII city: [S1] lists Paradise, Nevada; [S4] and most listings say Las Vegas. Allegiant Stadium is physically in Paradise. Printed as "Paradise (Las Vegas)" above.
Tampa Stadium attendance for SB XVIII differs trivially between crawls of [S2] (72,920 vs 72,980 in [S1] table) — attendance is not a deliverable column; no action.

Known-bad / rejected sources:

staging.advance-he.org (per brief): misstates recent results including LIX. Not fetched, not used. Correct LIX: Philadelphia Eagles 40, Kansas City Chiefs 22, Feb 9, 2025, Caesars Superdome, New Orleans [S1][S4][S5].
Junk three-peat claim encountered: a low-quality page asserted Kansas City completed a Super Bowl three-peat with the 2024 season. False — Kansas City won LVII and LVIII, then lost LIX (see #5). No franchise has won three straight Super Bowls [S1]. Rejected.
Super Bowl LX corroboration: Seattle Seahawks 29, New England Patriots 13, Feb 8, 2026, Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara; MVP Kenneth Walker III (135 rushing yards); Jason Myers kicked a Super-Bowl-record 5 field goals [S1][S4][S8]. This was Seattle's 2nd Super Bowl title (also XLVIII) and a rematch reversal of XLIX.

Genuinely useful oddities:

Numbering vs. season year: Super Bowl numeral ≈ season year − 1965 (I = 1966 season). Every game from V onward was played in the calendar year after its season year. Super Bowl 50 breaks the Roman-numeral pattern by official NFL designation [S1].
1982 strike season: The 1982 season was shortened to 9 games by a players' strike, with a special 16-team tournament; Washington won Super Bowl XVII from that format [S2]. The XVII row itself is unaffected.
Super Bowl XXV (1990 season): Closest Super Bowl of the era in this roll — Giants 20, Bills 19 — decided by Buffalo's missed field goal ("wide right" in popular memory; the miss itself is corroborated by History.com summary fetched in this pass [search result], the nickname is not used in the table). It began Buffalo's run of four straight Super Bowl losses (XXV–XXVIII) [S1].
Overtime Super Bowls: Only LI (2016 season) and LVIII (2023 season) went to overtime in I–LX [S1][S5]. The first championship-game overtime ever was the 1958 NFL final (§2) [S2][S10].
1940 final: Chicago's 73–0 win over Washington remains the most lopsided NFL championship result in §§1–2 [S2].
Pre-1933 method quirk: Because ties were excluded from winning percentage, the "best record" team was not always the team with the most wins (see 1932, §4; also 1930, where the modern half-win method would have crowned New York instead of Green Bay [S2]). Four of the first six standings titles (1920, 1921, 1924, 1925) were disputed in some form [S2][S9].
UNVERIFIED items (explicit):
Divisional/conference playoff scores for 1950, 1957, 1958, 1965 (§2 notes) — existence and advancing teams corroborated by [S2]; scores were not corroborated in this pass and are therefore omitted, marked here as UNVERIFIED if the parent wants them added.
No cell in §§1–5 tables is marked UNVERIFIED: every table cell was corroborated by at least two fetched sources as logged per section. City names in §2 follow venue locations (see §2 source note) rather than a separately fetched city column — parent may wish to spot-check against the NFL Record & Fact Book at compile time.
The Minnesota / 1966–69 NFL Championship Game counting question in §5 is a basis decision, not a verification failure; flagged for the parent rather than silently resolved the other way.
