AFC North

Cleveland Browns

The roster. The players. The latest coverage.

Initial roster observationObserved Sep 20, 2026, 7:00 am EDT · Historical profile reference

The Cleveland Browns play in the AFC North. This hub brings together the club’s official roster, player profiles, and related coverage.

The roster at a glance

The source lists 80 active, practice-squad, and reserve-list entries after released and transferred entries are excluded; 54 carry its ACT designation. An active-roster label is not a guarantee that a player will dress for a particular game.

Linked player names below open individual profiles. The roster was checked on September 20, 2026. It is a dated roster snapshot, not a game-day inactive report.

Why the Browns’ history reaches beyond 1999

The Cleveland Browns began play in 1946 in the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), then joined the NFL in 1950. The season-by-season table below starts in 1999 because that is where this site’s results archive begins. Its totals cover that window; they are not the club’s complete historical record.

What happened between 1995 and 1999?

After the 1995 season, Art Modell’s football operation moved to Baltimore. The Browns’ name, colors and team history stayed in Cleveland under the arrangement that suspended the Cleveland franchise. Baltimore began playing as the Ravens in 1996, with its own history.

Cleveland did not field a team in the 1996, 1997 or 1998 seasons. The Browns returned in 1999, building a team through an expansion process while retaining the earlier Cleveland identity and history. Calling 1999 an expansion return describes how that team was assembled; it does not erase the Browns who played before the hiatus.

For historical comparisons, keep those two timelines separate. Cleveland’s 1964 championship belongs to Browns history. Baltimore’s later results belong to Ravens history. The three missing Cleveland seasons should not be treated as losing seasons or filled with Baltimore’s results.

How eight league titles differ from eight Super Bowls

Cleveland’s eight early league championships came in two competitions:

Cleveland’s eight pre-Super Bowl league titles
Competition Championship seasons Titles
AAFC 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949 4
NFL 1950, 1954, 1955, 1964 4

The first Super Bowl was played on January 15, 1967. Every championship in this table predates it. “Eight league championships” therefore combines four AAFC titles and four NFL titles; describing the same list as eight NFL championships or eight Super Bowl wins would change what was actually won.

Why a current AFC team has older NFL championships

The conference labels changed over time. Cleveland entered the NFL in 1950 and moved into the American Football Conference in the 1970 merger realignment. Its earlier NFL titles were won before that modern AFC/NFC structure. A present-day conference label does not recategorize an earlier championship.

First-down total unavailable: at least one counted game has incomplete first-down flags.

4 included games

First downs count the play record's total flags, including recorded penalty awards; they can differ from drive summaries. Conversion attempts use recorded converted and failed down flags, including flagged kneels. Nullified downs, punts and field goals are not inferred attempts.

Inside-20 drives have a recorded down starting closer than 20 yards from the opponent's goal line. Reaching only the 20 is excluded. Only touchdowns for the possessing team on those drives count. This definition is not an official league red-zone ranking.

Possession includes overtime. Time is minutes:seconds; per-game time is rounded to the nearest second. Possession share divides the team's recorded seconds by the full elapsed time of its counted games, including overtime. Rates use summed opportunities and zero opportunities have no percentage. Equal displayed values share a rank; rankings describe only the matching supplied teams. — = not supplied.

Regular-season record and points; postseason shows how each run ended. Expected W is the win total implied by points scored and allowed (Pythagorean expectation, exponent 2.37); the small figure is actual minus expected, where +1 or more suggests close-game luck. From WHYNFL's results archive, which begins in 1999, counted by franchise (Raiders include Oakland, Chargers San Diego, Rams St. Louis). Splits cover the regular season and playoffs: night games kick off at 7 pm Eastern or later (games without a listed kickoff are left out), and one-score games are decided by 8 points or fewer.
