The San Francisco 49ers will try to win a sixth Super Bowl in franchise history on Sunday in Las Vegas.

If the 49ers can defeat the Chiefs, San Francisco will become just the third NFL franchise with six Super Bowls, joining the Patriots and Steelers.

The 49ers will make their eighth appearance in the Super Bowl. The franchise has a record of 5-2 all time in championship games, but enters the weekend on a two-game losing streak in the Super Bowl.

In terms of aggregate score, San Francisco has outscored its Super Bowl opponents 239 to 154, thanks to two blowout victories in the mid-90s.

Let’s take a look back at every 49ers Super Bowl appearance to this point:
