  • The Vikings have made four Super Bowl appearances.
  • Minnesota is one of two teams to lose four Super Bowls without winning one.
  • The Vikings last appeared in the big game in 1976.

The Minnesota Vikings have often been among the favourites in Super Bowl odds in the 21st century. 

However, that hasn’t translated into Super Bowl appearances despite a number of deep playoff runs and numerous teams with double-digit wins. 

Have the Vikings Ever Been to a Super Bowl?

Yes, the Vikings have been to the Super Bowl four times. 

Minnesota appeared in Super Bowls 4, 8, 9, and 11. 

Have the Vikings Won a Super Bowl?

No, the Vikings have never won a Super Bowl.

The 16-6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1975 is the closest the Vikings have come to winning a Super Bowl.

Minnesota has lost six NFC Championship games since their last big game appearance and remains an NFL team never to win a Super Bowl.

Who Led the Vikings to Four Super Bowls?

Bud Grant, who was head coach between 1967 and 1984, led the Vikings to four Super Bowl appearances.

The team won 11 division titles during Grant’s tenure. 

Fran Tarkenton quarterbacked the team to three of their four Super Bowl appearances. Joe Kapp led the Vikings in their first Super Bowl appearance, which ended in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
