The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are an NFL franchise based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers currently compete in the NFL as a member of the Southern Division of the National Conference. Along with the Seattle Seahawks, the team joined the NFL in 1976 as an expansion team. The Bucs played their first season in the AFC West Division as part of the 1976 expansion plan. After that season, the club changed conferences with the Seahawks and became a member of the NFC Central Division. During the 2002 NFL re-alignment, the Bucs joined three former NFC West teams to form NFC South. The club is owned by the Glazer family, and plays its home games at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

The Buccaneers are the first post AFL-NFL merger expansion team to win a division title, win a playoff game, and host and play a conference championship game, all three during the 1979 season. They are also the first team since the merger to complete a winning season (above .500) when they play 10 or more rookies, which happened in the 2010 season. In 1976 and 1977, the Buccaneers lost their first 26 NFL games. They didn't win their first game in franchise history until Week 13 in 1977.

After a brief era of victories in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the team suffered 14 consecutive losses. Then, over a 10-year period, they were consistent playoff contenders and won Super Bowl XXXVII at the end of the 2002 season. To date, they have not returned to a Super Bowl; therefore, the Bucs, along with the New Orleans Saints and the New York Jets, are the only NFL teams to win their only Super Bowl appearance.

Over 45 seasons, the Buccaneers have compiled an overall record of 267-424-1, with a regular season record of 250-393-1 and a playoff record of 6-9.
