Which NFL teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls?

Image
Playing in the Super Bowl has become something of a regular thing for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co. The Kansas City Chiefs saw off the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday to win the AFC Championship and will play in their fourth Super Bowl in five years as a result (although it may be their first with Taylor Swift cheering them on). Super Bowl LIV rematch between the Chiefs and 49ers The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Miami at Super Bowl LIV (2019 ) and face a rematch in Las Vegas on 11 February, when they will have the opportunity to join a (fairly) exclusive club of back- to -back champions. 20 of the NFL’s 32 teams have had Super Bowl success at one point or another, with seven managing to win in consecutive years , which the Chiefs missed the chance to do in 2020 when they were comfortably beaten by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had home advantage on that occasion.

The Houston Astros are the reigning kings of MLB , having beaten the Philadelphia Phillies to win the World Series a year ago and secure the second title in their history. The Astros are back in the postseason in 2023 - and will bid to become the first team to retain the MLB championship since the New York Yankees’ ‘three-peat’ between 1998 and 2000.
