The Buffalo Bills are an NFL team based in the Buffalo, Niagara Falls metropolitan area. The Bills compete in the NFL as a member of the Eastern Division of the American Conference. The team plays its home games at New Era Field in Orchard Park, New York. The Bills are the only NFL team to play their home games in New York state. The New York Giants and The New York Jets hold their games at MetLife Stadium, located in New Jersey.

The Bills began playing as a franchise originally in the American Football League (AFL) in 1960. The club joined the NFL as a result of the AFL-NFL merger for the 1970 season becoming part of the AFC. The Bills are the only team to win four consecutive conference championships (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993) and the only NFL team to lose four consecutive Super Bowl games(1990, 1991, 1992, 1993).

The team was owned by Ralph Wilson from its founding in 1960, until his death in 2014 at the age of 95. After his death, an agreement was reached to sell the team to Terry and Kim Pegula, which was approved by the other NFL team owners on October 8, 2014.

The Bills owned the longest drought without playoff appearances in the NFL. They did not qualify to play in the NFL playoffs from 1999 to 2017. By qualifying for the 2017 NFL playoffs, this streak (1999-2017) comes to an end.
