National Football Conference · NFC South · 1 Super Bowl (2020)
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were founded in 1974 and play their home games at Raymond James Stadium. The franchise is owned by Bryan Glazer, with Jason Licht serving as general manager and Todd Bowles as head coach. Zac Robinson coordinates the offense. The Bucs' recent history splits neatly into eras. From 2017 through 2019, the team posted losing records in three consecutive seasons. Then came 2020: an 11–5 finish and a Super Bowl championship. The years since have been steadier, with playoff appearances in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though only the 13–4 campaign in 2021 produced double-digit wins before the 2024 season's 10–7 mark. The 2022 team made the postseason at 8–9, and the 2023 squad squeaked in at 9–8. The current 2026 season has opened at 1–4.
