Super Bowl Winners - Full Breakdown (Prize Money, Most Wins for a QB)

Earning a Lombardi Ain’t Easy

There may be no better accomplishment in sports than an NFL team winning the Super Bowl.

Every year, thirty-two NFL franchises from both conferences brutally compete for eighteen weeks during the regular season to qualify for one of the fourteen available postseason spots.

Then, after a Wild Card round, a Divisional round, and Conference Championships, two final teams remain—one from the AFC and the other from the NFC—and they compete for one of the most coveted prizes in professional sports, the Lombardi Trophy, given to the Super Bowl Champion of that year.

Do Winners of the Super Bowl Get Paid Extra?

It’s true: Winners of every Super Bowl also make an extra paycheck and receive a unique ring for that game.

In terms of the paycheck, it’s substantial. The winner of Super Bowl LIX will receive a bonus worth $171,000. The loser will receive $96,000. This is in addition to other rounds of the postseason checks. In the Wild Card Round, teams that won a division but played in this round earned $54,500. Teams that got a first-round bye received $49,500. 

From there, teams in the Divisional Round received $54,500. Then, the teams that advance to the Conference Championship received an extra $77,000. 

The Super Bowl Winner Ring

In addition to bragging rights and cash, Super Bowl winners receive an incredibly valuable ring specially designed and built for the occasion.

There were 150 rings made, 53 of which were given to players, then to coaches, executives, and others. The rings cost $5 million combined, each worth $30,000 to $50,000. 

For example, when the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVIII, their ring contained 14.8 total carats, 505 round diamonds, 19 baguette diamonds, five marquise diamonds, and 38 custom-cut genuine rubies. Still, the most exciting feature was the winning play engraved on the inside in the coach's handwriting. 

We'll have to wait until the conclusion of Super Bowl LIX to see what it'll look like.
