The Kansas City Chiefs and Their Super Bowl Rendezvous: A History of Touchdowns and Tiaras (and Maybe a Little Bit of Controversy)
Ah, the Kansas City Chiefs. A team known for fiery offense, passionate fans (and let's not forget the sea of Patrick Mahomes jerseys!), and, of course, their trips to the biggest stage in football: the Super Bowl. But just how many times have they graced us with their presence (and championship dreams)? Let's take a dip into the glorious (and sometimes not-so-glorious) past.

| What Years Have The Kansas City Chiefs Gone To The Super Bowl |
The Early Days: From AFL Champions to Super Bowl Royalty (Well, Almost)
Back in the day, before the NFL and AFL joined forces like Voltron to form the gridiron giant we know today, the Chiefs were champions of the American Football League (AFL). They even managed to snag a shiny championship trophy in 1969 (those trophies were probably cooler back then). This win also earned them a ticket to Super Bowl IV, where they stomped on the Minnesota Vikings, proving the AFL wasn't just a bunch of guys playing in their backyards (although, with that name, you never really know).
A Touchdown of Triumphs... and a Fumble or Two (We're Looking at You, Super Bowl LIV)
Fast forward a few decades (because, let's be honest, who wants to dwell on the fashion choices of the 70s?), and the Chiefs were back in the Super Bowl business. Here's a quick rundown of their more recent appearances:
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
- Super Bowl LIV (2020): This one was a nail-biter! The Chiefs went head-to-head with the San Francisco 49ers in a game that had everyone on the edge of their seats (and possibly inhaling their nachos a little too quickly). Thankfully, Patrick Mahomes came through like the champion he is, securing the win.
- Super Bowl LVII (2023): The Chiefs were back for more, facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles. Let's just say it was a high-scoring affair, with enough touchdowns to make your head spin. And guess what? The Chiefs emerged victorious, proving they weren't a one-hit wonder.
- Super Bowl LVIII (2024): Yes, you read that right! The Chiefs just can't seem to get enough of the Super Bowl. This year, they battled it out with the San Francisco 49ers again (seems these two teams just can't get enough of each other). In a heart-stopping overtime finish, the Chiefs secured their second consecutive Super Bowl win.
There was, however, a bit of a hiccup in all this Super Bowl glory. Super Bowl LIV (2020) didn't quite go according to plan. The Chiefs faced off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, led by the one and only Tom Brady (because of course he was involved). Let's just say it wasn't the Chiefs' day, and they ended up walking away with a shiny new second-place trophy (which, let's be honest, isn't quite as exciting).
So, How Many Times Have the Chiefs Actually Been to the Super Bowl?
Now, for the big reveal (drumroll please): The Kansas City Chiefs have made it to the Super Bowl a grand total of five times. That's right, five! They've taken home the Lombardi trophy a whopping four times (with that pesky Super Bowl LV loss being the thorn in their side).
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
Side Note: There might be some debate about whether their 1969 AFL championship should technically count as a Super Bowl appearance. But hey, they beat another professional team, so we're counting it!
