Every NFL Team's Home Record Since 1966, Ranked

Updated: 2026-08-02

Since 1966, NFL teams have played 13,748 regular-season home games. The Pittsburgh Steelers have won their share at a .681 rate — the best in football over six decades. The New York Jets have won theirs at .477 — last in football, one of only four franchises that have lost more often than they've won in their own building.

Here is every franchise's complete home record across that span, followed by the stranger finding underneath the table: home-field advantage itself is vanishing.

The full table

Regular season only, 1966–2025, current franchise credited across all cities and buildings. Records list ties separately; the win percentage column counts a tie as half a win, the NFL's standard method.

The Steelers are the Best Team at Home in the NFL

The Steelers have been above water at home in every era since Three Rivers opened in 1970 — Three Rivers went .716 and its replacement has gone .703, the rare franchise that moved buildings without losing the edge. Nobody else with a 1966 start is within twenty points of them.

The next tier is a knot: Denver and Dallas are separated by exactly one home loss across sixty years — 306-157-5 against 306-158-2. Minnesota and Green Bay sit right behind, which means four of the six best home teams of the modern era play in the two coldest divisions in football. The climate theory of home field will never die, and this table won't kill it.

Baltimore's .673 deserves its asterisk-free asterisk: it's second on the list but covers only 1996 forward — a great thirty-season run, not a sixty-year one. The fairest comparison for the Ravens is Houston (.510 since 2002), Jacksonville (.515 since 1995), and Carolina (.506 since 1995), against which Baltimore looks even more exceptional, not less.

The Jets are the Worst Team at Home in the NFL

The Jets' .477 across six decades is remarkable for its consistency — this isn't one dark age dragging an average down; it's a franchise that has simply never had a sustained fortress, in Shea, in the Meadowlands, or at MetLife. Tampa Bay (.481) and the .495 pair of Arizona and New Orleans are the only company they have below .500.

Seattle and Tampa Bay are the table's cleanest natural experiment: both born in 1976, both spent decades in one building then moved, and they've landed 121 points of home win percentage apart. Same age, opposite histories.

And Cleveland at .502 might be the strangest line on the table — 219 wins, 217 losses, four ties. Sixty years of home games and the Browns have come out almost precisely even.

NFL home field is disappearing

The league-wide home win rate across all 13,748 games is .569. But it hasn't been stable:

Decade Home win %
1966–69 .545
1970s .571
1980s .572
1990s .596
2000s .571
2010s .569
2020s .534

Home-field advantage grew for thirty years, peaked in the 1990s, and has since collapsed to its weakest level in the sample — the 2020s home team wins barely more than a coin flip. Travel got easier, film and communication got centralized, crowd noise got engineered around, and one pandemic season was played in empty buildings. Whatever the causes, the thing every one of these 32 records was built on is worth less now than at any point in sixty years.

Where the schedule comes in

Home games aren't just where teams win — they're the schedule's most contested resource. Every team gets its eight or nine, but which opponents visit, in what weather months, off what rest — that's the part the schedule decides, and the part you control when you build one.
