In the 2025 AFC Championship, the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Buffalo Bills. This marked the fourth encounter between the two teams in the last five playoff seasons.

Once again, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs emerged victorious, defeating Josh Allen’s Bills with a score of 32-29. With this win, Kansas City is heading back to the Super Bowl, aiming to continue their remarkable and dominant legacy.

The Chiefs are now just one victory away from achieving an extraordinary third consecutive Super Bowl win and matching the New England Patriots for the record of the most consecutive playoff wins in NFL history. The Patriots set this record with 10 straight wins from 2001 to 2005, while the Chiefs’ triumph over the Bills marked their ninth consecutive postseason victory.

Here’s everything you need to know about Kansas City’s Super Bowl history, including their most recent participation in the championship game and the total number of times they’ve won the Lombardi Trophy.

When did the Chiefs last play in a Super Bowl?

Under Mahomes, the Chiefs have been regular contenders in the Super Bowl. They represented the AFC in Super Bowls 57 and 58, making Super Bowl 59 their third consecutive appearance in the big game.

If Kansas City triumphs over the Philadelphia Eagles, they will be the first franchise in NFL history to secure three consecutive Super Bowl victories.

How many Super Bowls have the Chiefs clinched?

The Chiefs have claimed four Super Bowl titles. Their first win was in Super Bowl 4, when quarterback Len Dawson guided Kansas City to a 23-7 victory against the Minnesota Vikings, completing 12 of 17 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown.

The most recent triumph came in Super Bowl 58, where the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers. In this historic second overtime game of the Super Bowl, Mahomes connected with Mecole Hardman for the deciding touchdown after the 49ers managed only a field goal on their sole overtime possession. In that game, Mahomes completed 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Chiefs Super Bowl performance

Kansas City’s record in their six Super Bowl appearances stands at 4-2. Their four Super Bowl championships tie them with the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants for the fifth-most in NFL history.
