By Scott Rogust
The San Francisco 49ers are one win away from reaching the Super Bowl, which they are more than familiar with after the quarterback debacle that transpired in the NFC Championship Game against the Eagles. With a healthy Brock Purdy, though, they are hoping to once again reach the Super Bowl... but also to win the Big Game as well.
Over the rich history of this 49ers franchise, Super Bowl success has come in waves... but the tides have shifted in recent decades, at least when it comes to the final game of the season.
When it comes to the 49ers, they are no strangers to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. But when was the last time they won the Super Bowl?
When was the last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl?
The last time San Francisco won the Super Bowl was back in the 1994 season.
After getting through the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco faced off against the then-San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl 29. San Francisco showed their dominance in this game, taking a 28-10 lead into halftime and walking off the field in Miami with the 49-26 victory.
Quarterback Steve Young won the MVP after completing 24-of-36 pass attempts for 325 yards and six touchdowns.
When is the last time the 49ers made the Super Bowl?
The San Francisco 49ers last made the Super Bowl in the 2019-20 season and playoffs. They entered the playoffs as the favorites in the NFC and proved it in their two games to punch their Super Bowl berth, beating the Vikings 27-10 in the Divisional Round and dominating the Packers, 37-20, in the NFC Championship Game.
Unfortunately, San Francisco had the tables turned a bit with the Lombardi Trophy on the line, falling 31-20 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.
How many times did the 49ers win the Super Bowl?
The 49ers have five Super Bowl victories in their seven appearances. San Francisco won in each of their first five visits. However, they lost in their previous two appearances, to the Baltimore Ravens in the 2012 season and the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2019 campaign.
Let’s take a look at the results of each of San Francisco’s seven appearances in the Super Bowl:
- Super Bowl 16: Won vs. Cincinnati Bengals 26-21
- Super Bowl 19: Won vs. Miami Dolphins 38-16
