Team History

1976-present Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers joined the NFL as an expansion team in 1976. After suffering a league-record 26 consecutive losses, the team quickly turned around its fortunes.  Tampa Bay reached the NFC championship game in just its fourth season.  Losing ways returned but by the mid-1990s, the Bucs became perennial winners. The team won its first world championship following the 2002 season with a victory in Super Bowl XXXVII. That same season, the team transitioned to the NFC South. In 2020, the Bucs claimed their second Conference championship and Super Bowl (LV).
