How many Super Bowls have the 49ers won? San Francisco heading to Las Vegas to face Chiefs in NFL’s big game

San Francisco is back in the Super Bowl.
The No. 1 seed 49ers will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on Sunday, February 11 for the NFL championship.
Detroit (12-5) still has never made the Super Bowl after blowing a 17-point lead and falling 34-31 to Brock Purdy's team.
Reaching the big game is nothing new for the 49ers, who have appeared in the Super Bowl eight times.
San Francisco hasn't been forced to rely on ancient history, either.
Despite going through major player and coaching changes, the 49ers have been to the conference championship four times under head coach Kyle Shanahan and reached the Super Bowl in 2019.
San Francisco has won the Super Bowl five times and is 5-2 in the big game.
The 49ers were at their best with Joe Montana at quarterback and Jerry Rice at wide receiver.
From 1981-89, the 49ers won four Super Bowls and didn't lose when they advanced to the NFL's ultimate stage.
Coaching legend Bill Welsh created San Francisco's dynasty, while George Seifert went a highly successful 98-30 following in Walsh's footsteps.
The 49ers spent the 2023 season as one of the NFL's best teams, starting 5-0 and reaching 11-3 before finishing with 12 wins.
Brock Purdy replaced his Mr. Irrelevant moniker by becoming an MVP candidate, while running back Christian McCaffrey joined his QB as one of the NFL's best players.
San Francisco held off the Green Bay Packers 24-21 to advance to the NFC Championship at home against the Lions.
“We’re built for those moments,” McCaffrey said. “We didn’t play well at all but still had a chance at the end. To go out there and execute is a sign of a high character team.”
