How many times has Patrick Mahomes been to the Super Bowl? [Updated]

Patrick Mahomes has enjoyed incredible success since taking over as the Chiefs QB but fans are wondering how many Super Bowl appearances he’s made. 

It’s wild to think that the Kansas City Chiefs sat Patrick Mahomes behind Alex Smith after the franchise traded up to the No. 10 pick to take the quarterback out of Texas Tech. But if that was part of the formula that led to the success that Mahomes has had since he became the starter, then there’s no faulting that.

Put simply, even at 27 years old, Mahomes is already writing his name in the history books as one of the all-time great quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL. And there are plenty more chapters still to be written about the Chiefs quarterback.

As he was preparing for another AFC Championship Game matchup against the Bengals on Sunday, though, people were wondering how many Super Bowl appearances Mahomes has made.

Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl appearances: How many Super Bowls has Chiefs QB been to?

Despite all of his success, Patrick Mahomes currently only had two Super Bowl appearances to his credit, winning Super Bowl LIV in 2019-20 and then getting beat handily by the Buccaneers the following year in Super Bowl LV in 2020-21, before Sunday. Now he has three as he’s set to face the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

What’s fascinating is that Mahomes had accounted for two-thirds of the Chiefs’ all-time appearances in the Big Game before 2022-23 as, prior to the quarterback taking over, their only previous appearance was in Super Bowl IV back in 1969, which they also won.

Mahomes, at just 27 years old, has the chance to add to this number. And if he keeps playing at the level that he has to this point in his young career, making three Super Bowls in his first five seasons as the starter, he’ll keep adding to that.
