1. Green Bay Packers - 13 ChampionshipsThe Packers remain atop with 13 titles: 9 pre-Super Bowl NFL Championships (1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939, 1944, 1961, 1962, 1965) and 4 Super Bowl wins (I, II, XXXI, XLV). Their legacy, built by Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi, stays unrivaled.
2. Chicago Bears - 9 ChampionshipsThe Bears hold steady with 9 titles: 8 pre-Super Bowl NFL Championships (1921, 1932, 1933, 1940, 1941, 1943, 1946, 1963) and 1 Super Bowl (XX in 1985). Their early dominance keeps them ahead of newer dynasties.
3. Cleveland Browns - 8 Championships - Thanks to the new ruling, the Browns are now tied for third with 8 titles: 4 AAFC Championships (1946, 1947, 1948, 1949) and 4 NFL Championships (1950, 1954, 1955, 1964). This recognition of their All-America Football Conference dominance under Paul Brown boosts them past the Giants, though they’ve yet to win a Super Bowl.
4. New York Giants - 8 ChampionshipsThe Giants also have 8 titles: 4 pre-Super Bowl NFL Championships (1927, 1934, 1938, 1956) and 4 Super Bowl wins (XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI). They share third place, with their modern triumphs balancing their older victories.
5. New England Patriots - 6 ChampionshipsThe Patriots maintain 6 Super Bowl titles (XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII), all post-2001, powered by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. No pre-merger titles keep them at 6.
6. Pittsburgh Steelers - 6 ChampionshipsThe Steelers also sit at 6 Super Bowl wins (IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII), their 1970s dynasty under Chuck Noll still iconic. Like the Patriots, they’re post-merger only.
7. Kansas City Chiefs - 6 ChampionshipsWith their Super Bowl LIX win in 2025, the Chiefs have 6 titles: 3 AFL Championships (1962, 1966, 1969) and 3 Super Bowl victories (IV, LIV, LVIII, LIX). Patrick Mahomes’ era keeps them climbing.
This adjusted list reflects the “ruling” giving AAFC titles full weight, a nod to historical leagues that reshapes the Browns’ standing. The Packers still reign supreme, but the Browns’ leap highlights how championship counts can shift with new criteria. The Detroit Lions (4 titles) and others like the 49ers and Cowboys (5 each) remain off this top tier.
