The AFC's New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl titles at six each the Patriots also have the most appearances at 11. Of the NFL's current 32 teams, 20 (11 NFC, 9 AFC) have won a Super Bowl and 14 (8 AFC, 6 NFC) hold multiple titles.
Except when a wild card team wins the conference championship, all games since 1971's Super Bowl V have been played between the two best teams from each conference, with the NFC leading the AFC 26–25. After the merger in 1970, the 10 AFL teams and three NFL teams formed the American Football Conference (AFC) while the remaining 13 NFL teams formed the National Football Conference (NFC). The first four Super Bowls from 1967 to 1970 were played before the merger, with the NFL and AFL each winning two. It was originally called the AFL–NFL World Championship Game until the "Super Bowl" moniker was adopted in 1969's Super Bowl III. The game was created as part of a 1966 merger agreement between the NFL and the rival American Football League (AFL) to have their best teams compete for a championship. Due to the NFL restricting use of its "Super Bowl" trademark, it is frequently referred to as the "big game" or other generic terms by non-sponsoring corporations. Winning teams are awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named after the eponymous coach who won the first two Super Bowl games. Prior Super Bowls were played on Sundays in early to mid-January from 1967 to 1978 and late January from 1979 to 2003. Since 2004, the game has been played on the first Sunday in February. It has served as the final game of every NFL season since 1966, replacing the NFL Championship Game. The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). Since Super Bowl XLV, the Roman numeral of the game has been featured alongside the trophy, with the exception of Super Bowl 50, with the logo decorated in different colors for each year.
