Which NFL division has won the most championships?


With the 2022 NFL regular season officially in the books, fans have begun to turn their attention to the offseason and eventual pursuit of next season’s Super Bowl.

While the Super Bowl is the ultimate battle between two final NFL teams, earlier divisional battles are just as competitive and entertaining as teams look to reach the championship. Some teams have never won or even made it to the Super Bowl, but there are some teams that have accumulated quite a few titles over the years.

Here's all you need to know on which NFL division has won the most Super Bowl titles:

The NFC East is the most successful division in the NFL since the first Super Bowl in 1967. The NFC East has grabbed 22 NFC championships and 13 Super Bowl victories, marking the highest of any division in the league. 

In that division, the Dallas Cowboys hold the lead with five wins, followed by the New York Giants with four and the Washington Commanders, who have won three. 

The last team in the NFC East to win a Super Bowl title was the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI in 2017. The Eagles are also the last NFC East team to make the big game, losing Super Bowl LVII to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The NFC East is the only division where every team (Cowboys, Giants, Commanders and Eagles) has a Super Bowl win. 

The NFC West is very close to doing the same, with the Arizona Cardinals being the only team in the West to not have a title. The 49ers (five), Los Angeles Rams (two) and Seattle Seahawks (one) have all won the Super Bowl.
