The American Football Conference – Western Division or AFC West is one of the four divisions of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The division comprises the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and Los Angeles Chargers.
The division has sent teams to the Super Bowl twenty times beginning with Super Bowl I when the Chiefs played the Green Bay Packers, winning ten times, second only to the NFC East. As of the conclusion of the 2023 season, the Chiefs have the most Super Bowl wins of any AFC West team with four Super Bowl victories. The Broncos have appeared in the most Super Bowls in the division with eight, the Chiefs have appeared in six, and the Raiders have appeared in five. The Chargers lost their lone Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXIX. Two members of the Division also won back-to-back Super Bowls. The Broncos in 1997 and 1998 and the Chiefs in 2022 and 2023.
The Chiefs won the most recent, ninth straight, and 17th AFC West title in 2024.[1] Kansas City's win in 2022 made the AFC West the only division in the NFL where all 4 teams had the same amount of division titles (15 each).[2][3][4]
