How Many Super Bowls Have the Kansas City Chiefs Won in a Row? Can They Make History?

The Kansas City Chiefs have emerged as the most dominant team in the NFL in recent years, and as of 2025, they have won two consecutive Super Bowls. They are now attempting something no team has ever done beforewinning three Super Bowls in a row.

How Many Consecutive Super Bowls Have the Chiefs Won?

The Kansas City Chiefs have won two consecutive Super Bowls:

  • Super Bowl LVII (2023): Defeated the Philadelphia Eagles (38-35).
  • Super Bowl LVIII (2024): Defeated the San Francisco 49ers (25-22 in overtime).

With back-to-back championships under their belt, the Chiefs are on the verge of making history at Super Bowl LIX (2025), where they will once again face the Eagles.

If they win this game, the Chiefs will become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls—a “three-peat” that has never been achieved.

Why Is a Three-Peat So Difficult?

Winning one Super Bowl is hard enough, but winning three in a row? Nearly impossible.

No NFL team has ever won three straight Super Bowls, despite some of the greatest dynasties in football history coming close.

Here’s why a three-peat is so difficult:

  • Injury Risks: A long, grueling season takes a physical toll on players. Key injuries can derail even the best teams.
  • Every Team Targets the Champion: When you’re the defending champion, every opponent plays harder against you.
  • Salary Cap Issues: The NFL’s salary cap prevents teams from keeping all their star players.
  • Coaching & Roster Changes: Winning teams often lose assistant coaches and key players to free agency.
  • Fatigue & Mental Pressure: Playing at the highest level for three years in a row is mentally and physically exhausting.

Despite these challenges, the Chiefs have found a way to keep winning—and now they are on the brink of NFL immortality.

Have Any NFL Teams Come Close to a Three-Peat?

Even though no team has won three straight Super Bowls, several legendary dynasties have come close:

Green Bay Packers (1966, 1967 – Two in a Row)

Won Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II under coach Vince Lombardi.

The Super Bowl trophy is named after Lombardi because of his dominance in the 1960s. But the Packers missed the playoffs in 1968, ending their streak.

Miami Dolphins (1972, 1973 – Two in a Row)

The 1972 Dolphins went 17-0, the only undefeated Super Bowl-winning team in history. They won back-to-back titles in 1972 and 1973 but failed to three-peat in 1974.

Pittsburgh Steelers (1974, 1975 – Two in a Row & 1978, 1979 – Two in a Row)

The “Steel Curtain” defense led the Steelers to four Super Bowl wins in six years. They won back-to-back titles twice but couldn’t win three in a row.

San Francisco 49ers (1988, 1989 – Two in a Row)

Won back-to-back Super Bowls with Joe Montana. Almost made it to a third straight Super Bowl in 1990, but lost in the NFC Championship Game.

Dallas Cowboys (1992, 1993 – Two in a Row)

The Cowboys’ dynasty with Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin won three Super Bowls in four years. But they lost in the 1994 NFC Championship Game, ending their hopes for three in a row.

New England Patriots (2001, 2003, 2004 – Three in Four Years)

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick came close to a three-peat, winning in 2001, 2003, and 2004. But they missed the Super Bowl in 2002, preventing them from winning three in a row.

No team—not even the greatest dynasties in NFL history—has been able to pull off a three-peat. But now, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have a chance to change that.

Can the Chiefs Make History in Super Bowl LIX?

As the Chiefs prepare for Super Bowl LIX, here’s why they might be able to win their third consecutive championship:

1. Patrick Mahomes is in His Prime

Mahomes is only 28 years old and already one of the greatest quarterbacks ever. He has a winning mentality and has proven that he can thrive under pressure.

If anyone can lead a three-peat, it’s Patrick Mahomes.

2. Andy Reid’s Coaching Genius

Reid is one of the best coaches in NFL history, and his ability to adapt and innovate is a key reason the Chiefs keep winning. He has outcoached some of the best minds in football, proving that his system works.

3. The Chiefs Have a Balanced Roster

Unlike other teams that rely on one or two star players, the Chiefs have depth. Their defense has improved, making them dangerous on both sides of the ball.

Even if injuries happen, they have backup players ready to step up.

4. They Know How to Win Close Games

In Super Bowl LVIII (2024), the Chiefs won in overtime, proving they can handle high-pressure situations. They have the experience, confidence, and leadership to win when it matters most.

5. They Have the Motivation to Make History

The Chiefs know they are on the verge of doing something no team has ever done. They are playing with purpose, knowing that winning this game cements their legacy forever.

Will the Chiefs Pull Off the Three-Peat?

The Kansas City Chiefs are on the verge of rewriting NFL history. With two consecutive Super Bowl wins, they are now just one game away from becoming the first team ever to win three in a row.

  • Super Bowl LVII (2023) – Won
  • Super Bowl LVIII (2024) – Won
  • Super Bowl LIX (2025) – Will they win?

A victory in Super Bowl LIX would cement the Chiefs as the greatest dynasty of all time. But standing in their way are the Philadelphia Eagles, who are hungry for revenge after losing to the Chiefs in 2023. No matter the outcome, Super Bowl LIX will be one of the most anticipated games in NFL history. If the Chiefs win, they will become legends. If they lose, they’ll join the long list of teams that came close but couldn’t finish the job.

Will the Chiefs make history with a three-peat, or will the Eagles spoil their dynasty dreams? Let’s hear your predictions!
