Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are one victory away from etching their names in NFL history.

The Chiefs have secured their spot in Super Bowl LIX with a win against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game, eyeing to become the first team to secure three consecutive Super Bowl victories.

Historically, nine NFL teams have managed to win back-to-back titles (eight franchises), yet none have succeeded in returning to the championship game the following season. The Chiefs, by making it back to the Super Bowl, have already marked a significant achievement.

However, they are not alone in the pursuit of championship glory. The UConn Huskies, two-time NCAA champions, aim to return to the NCAA Tournament, despite not having the same level of dominance as the previous two seasons, experiencing double the losses so far this year compared to last.

Other teams like the Las Vegas Aces and Georgia have also recently approached the chance of a three-peat, but fell short.

Let’s acknowledge teams that have successfully achieved this incredible feat across various sports. Here’s a look at the most recent three-peat champions from multiple leagues:

Premier League: Manchester City (2021-24)

Manchester City has dominated the Premier League in recent years, clinching six championships in seven seasons, bolstered by star players like Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland.

College Softball: Oklahoma (2021-24)

Under coach Patty Gasso, the Oklahoma softball team has showcased unparalleled prowess, winning two titles against Texas and Florida State.

Champions League: Real Madrid (2016-18)

With contributions from Cristiano Ronaldo and other top players like Karim Benzema, Real Madrid accomplished a historic three-peat in one of the toughest competitions.

More historical examples continue through various sports, highlighting the challenges and triumphs teams face while pursuing consecutive championships.
