List of Chicago Bulls seasons

The Chicago Bulls are a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Chicago, Illinois. Dick Klein founded the Bulls in 1966 after a number of other professional basketball teams in Chicago had failed. In their 60 seasons, the Bulls have achieved a winning record 26 times, and have appeared in the NBA playoffs 36 times. They received international recognition in the 1990s when All-Star shooting guard Michael Jordan led them to their six league championships. The only three NBA franchises that have won more championships than the Bulls are the Boston Celtics with 18 championships, the Los Angeles Lakers with 17, and the Golden State Warriors with 7. The Bulls are the only NBA franchise as of 2025 to have a combination of multiple championships and zero losses in the NBA Finals (the San Antonio Spurs are the closest other franchise to this mark, but the 2013 Finals loss to Miami has given the Spurs an all-time Finals record of 5–1). The Bulls initially competed in the NBA's Western Division. The Western Division was renamed the Western Conference in 1970, and was split into the Midwest and Pacific Divisions. The Bulls played in the Midwest Division until 1980, when they moved to the Central Division of the Eastern Conference.
