Hold on a Sec, Weren't There Two Leagues Before?
Yep, you're right! Back in the day, the Chiefs were actually part of the American Football League (AFL) before the historic AFL-NFL merger in 1970. This is where things get interesting.
The AFL Years: Trophy Time!
During the AFL era, the Chiefs were a force to be reckoned with. They racked up an impressive three AFL championships in 1962, 1966, and 1969. That's right, they were champions of their league three times! And guess what? They even went on to win Super Bowl IV after defeating the Minnesota Vikings in that AFL-NFL Championship Game. Pretty impressive, wouldn't you say?
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
The Modern Era: Chiefs Kingdom Rises
Fast forward to the present day, and the Chiefs are a dominant presence in the AFC. They've played in a whopping seven AFC championship games since the merger, which is pretty darn good company to keep. Patrick Mahomes deserves a big shoutout here for leading the team to five of those appearances in recent years. #MahomesMagic
So, How Many AFC Championships Do the Chiefs Have Now?
Now for the big reveal. Since the AFL-NFL merger, the Chiefs have secured two AFC championships (2020 and 2023) to add to their impressive trophy case. Combined with their three AFL titles, that brings the total to a very respectable five. Not too shabby, Chiefs Kingdom!
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Wait, There's More!
Here's the kicker: The Chiefs also hold the record for hosting the most consecutive AFC Championship games, a staggering five years in a row from 2018 to 2022. Talk about home-field advantage!
