Longest field goal in Super Bowl history: Chiefs' Harrison Butker owns record

Field goal attempts beyond 50 yards used to be a difficult proposition for even the NFL's best kickers. In recent years, they have changed that narrative, and it has showed up when reviewing Super Bowl stats.

Six of the seven longest field goals in Super Bowl history have come since the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams squared off in Super Bowl 53. Two championship games since then have seen multiple makes from 50-plus yards away, including the Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup in Super Bowl 58, which saw the longest Super Bowl field goal record broken twice.

Longest field goal in Super Bowl history

Harrison Butker owns the record for the longest field goal in Super Bowl history. The Chiefs kicker set the record in Super Bowl 58 when he made a 57-yard attempt with 5:06 left in the third quarter, cutting the 49ers' lead to 10-6.

Butker broke the record previously held by 49ers kicker Jake Moody. The rookie made a 55-yard field goal to open the scoring in Super Bowl 58, so his record-breaking make was short-lived.
