View source for List of NFL franchise post-season droughts

{{Short description|None}}
{{Use mdy dates|date=July 2024}}
This is a list of current and former [[National Football League]] (NFL) franchise [[Losing streak|droughts]] (multiple consecutive seasons of not reaching a certain achievement) related to the [[NFL playoffs|post-season]] and [[Super Bowl]]. The length of a drought is the number of seasons since the last time a franchise achieved a certain milestone. For a milestone that a franchise has never achieved, the length of the corresponding drought is equal to the number of seasons the franchise has been active.

All 32 active NFL teams have qualified for the playoffs and won at least one playoff game in their history. Of the 12 teams that have never won the Super Bowl, the seven who predate the institution of the game (the [[Arizona Cardinals|Cardinals]], [[Detroit Lions|Lions]], [[Tennessee Titans|Oilers/Titans]], [[Los Angeles Chargers|Chargers]], [[Cleveland Browns|Browns]], [[Buffalo Bills|Bills]], and [[Minnesota Vikings|Vikings]]) had all won an NFL or AFL championship prior to the [[AFL–NFL merger]]. In the case of the Vikings, however, the Super Bowl existed at the time they won their only league title (in [[1969 NFL season|1969]]). Thus, the Vikings along with the other five teams (the [[Atlanta Falcons|Falcons]], [[Cincinnati Bengals|Bengals]], [[Carolina Panthers|Panthers]], [[Jacksonville Jaguars|Jaguars]] and [[Houston Texans|Texans]], whose history is no older than the Super Bowl itself) are the only franchises to have never won the highest championship available to them. The Cardinals own the longest drought since a championship of any kind, at {{Age|1947|12|20}} seasons.

Note that for continuity purposes, the Cleveland Browns are officially considered to have suspended operations for the 1996, 1997, and 1998 seasons. Since returning {{age|1998|12|31}} years ago, they have only made the playoffs three times, while the [[Baltimore Ravens]] are considered to be a separate team that began play in 1996. The Ravens, as a result of the [[Cleveland Browns relocation controversy]], absorbed the Browns' personnel upon their suspension, but not their history.

===Longest post-season droughts in team history===

Note that the NFL did not institute a permanent playoff tournament until 1967 and that the [[NFL Championship Game]] and any impromptu [[one-game playoffs]] (played only in the event of a tie atop the division standings) were the only postseason matchups in this era. The [[Playoff Bowl|Bert Bell Benefit Bowl]] (aka the Playoff Bowl; 1960–1969) is considered an exhibition game for the purpose of this list.
