If you want to learn how to bet on the Super Bowl coin toss, the information on this page will help. Below, we look at all the Super Bowl coin toss betting markets and highlight some notable trends.

Super Bowl Coin Toss Betting Markets

There are three main Super Bowl coin toss betting markets available. Let’s take a closer look at the betting options and discuss the nuances of each one.

• Coin Toss Winner – This market gives you the chance to predict which team will win the Super Bowl coin toss. Sportsbooks will always offer the same odds for both teams.
• Player to Correctly Call the Opening Kickoff Coin Toss – The options for this market are ‘yes’ and ‘no’. Again, the odds for both options are always the same.
• To Win the Coin Toss and the Game – This market allows you to bet on a team to win both the coin toss and the game. Naturally, the moneyline favorite will have lower odds than the underdog.

Which Team Calls the Coin Toss in the Super Bowl?

The NFL rotates the home team and the visiting team each year in the Super Bowl, regardless of where the game is played. When it comes to the coin toss, the visiting team always makes the call.

In the 2022 season, the Kansas City Chiefs were the away team. After making it to the Super Bowl again in the 2023 season, the Chiefs were named as the home team against the San Francisco 49ers.

Super Bowl Coin Toss Results

• Heads: 27 (47%)
• Tails: 30 (53%)
• Longest Streak for Heads: 5
• Longest Streak for Tails: 4

As you can see, tails holds a marginal lead over heads in the all-time Super Bowl coin toss standings. Tails has won 30 times, while heads has won on 27 occasions.

Heads has the record for the longest consecutive streak, having won five times in a row between 2009 and 2013. Interestingly, tails has won four times in a row on three separate occasions.

Super Bowl Predictions

Across the first 57 Super Bowls, only 26 teams that won the coin toss went on to win the game. Before Kansas City’s triumph in 2022, there were eight successive games where the coin toss winner lost the game.

The Dallas Cowboys (6) have won the most Super Bowl coin tosses over the years, followed by the San Francisco 49ers (5), Miami Dolphins (4), Las Vegas Raiders (3), New England Patriots (3) and Seattle Seahawks (3).

It is also worth noting that tails triumphed seven times in 10 years between 2013 and 2022, meaning heads won on just three occasions during that period.
