How Many Super Bowls Have the Baltimore Ravens Won?
The Baltimore Ravens have won two Super Bowls: Super Bowl XXXIV (played in February 2001 for the 2000 season) and Super Bowl XLVII (played in February 2013 for the 2012 season). The first championship came under head coach Brian Billick with a dominant defense anchored by Ray Lewis. The second came under John Harbaugh with quarterback Joe Flacco, whose postseason performance that year earned him Super Bowl MVP honors.
The 2000 Season Championship
Baltimore's first Super Bowl victory came after the franchise had relocated from Cleveland just three seasons earlier. The 2000 Ravens posted a 12-4 regular season record and dominated defensively throughout the playoffs. In Super Bowl XXXIV, they defeated the New York Giants 34-7 at the Superdome in New Orleans. The Ravens' defense held the Giants to a single touchdown, reflecting the suffocating unit that allowed only 165 points across the entire 2000 season, one of the lowest totals in NFL history at that time.
Ray Lewis, the team's middle linebacker and emotional leader, became the face of that defense. His presence at M&T Bank Stadium (then called PSINet Stadium) became central to the Ravens' identity during home games in Baltimore. The championship parade drew an estimated 500,000 fans to downtown Baltimore, cementing the franchise's place in the city after the trauma of the original Colts' relocation to Indianapolis in 1984.
The 2012 Season Championship
Twelve years passed before Baltimore won again. The 2012 Ravens went 13-3 in the regular season and made an improbable playoff run. Most notably, they defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans on February 3, 2013. Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes in that game and completed 11 consecutive pass attempts in the fourth quarter and overtime, an NFL playoff record. He was named Super Bowl MVP.
John Harbaugh, the team's head coach, became the first coach to win a Super Bowl while his brother Jim Harbaugh simultaneously won the Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers (the opposing team that very season). That brother-versus-brother dynamic generated national attention and made the Ravens' victory particularly distinctive in Harbaugh family lore.
Between Championships
The 14-year gap between the two titles reflects the inconsistency of NFL success. While the Ravens made the playoffs multiple times during the 2000s, they did not reach another Super Bowl. The 2006 team went 13-3 but lost in the second round to Indianapolis. The 2011 team, just before the championship run, went 12-4 but was eliminated in the wild card round by Kansas City.
Ticket prices for Ravens home games at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore range significantly depending on opponent and seat location. Secondary market resale (through StubHub, SeatGeek, or other platforms) often reflects demand; playoff games and matchups against teams like the Pittsburgh Steelers command premiums. For current regular season ticket information, the Ravens' official website provides details on seat selection, waiting lists, and pricing tiers by section.
Current Context
Since the 2012 championship, the Ravens have made the playoffs multiple times but have not returned to the Super Bowl. They have remained one of the more consistently competitive AFC North teams, though they have not replicated the sustained excellence of those championship seasons. The team has cycled through quarterbacks, most notably using Lamar Jackson since 2018; Jackson won two MVP awards (2019 and 2023) but has not yet reached a Super Bowl in a Ravens uniform.
The 2000 and 2012 championships remain the franchise's only Super Bowl titles. Both victories are celebrated prominently in team history and in Baltimore's broader sports culture, which also includes the Orioles' 1983 World Series championship and the Colts' earlier Super Bowl V win (1971, played as the Baltimore Colts).
