List of Tampa Bay Buccaneers seasons
Updated: Wikipedia source
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football team based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member of the National Football Conference (NFC) South Division. The Buccaneers have played their home games at Raymond James Stadium since 1998. Founded in 1974 by Hugh Culverhouse, the Buccaneers joined the NFL in 1976 as members of the AFC West. The following year, they moved to the NFC Central, where they stayed until division realignment in 2002, at which point they were moved to the NFC South. The Tampa Bay expansion franchise was originally awarded to Tom McCloskey, a construction company owner from Philadelphia, but was later awarded to Culverhouse after McCloskey backed out. They were purchased by Malcolm Glazer in 1995 for $192 million, following Culverhouse's death. Glazer owned the team until his death in 2014, at which point the team passed on to his six children. The team has been owned and run by the Glazer family since then. The franchise has made it to the Super Bowl twice, first in Super Bowl XXXVII during the 2002 season and again in Super Bowl LV during the 2020 season. The Buccaneers are one of two NFL franchises to have at least two Super Bowl appearances without a loss, along with the Baltimore Ravens. Until the 2008 Detroit Lions went winless, the Buccaneers were the only team in the Super Bowl-era to go winless in a season that was not shortened by a strike, doing so in their inaugural 1976 season. As of the end of the 2024 season, the Buccaneers have an all-time record of 318 wins, 457 losses, and a single tie in the regular season, with an additional 12 wins and 13 losses in the playoffs. The team has made the playoffs 15 times and won their division ten times, three of which were as a part of the NFC Central and seven as part of the NFC South.
