Tom Brady won 17 AFC East titles with New England. Those division championships came during his 20 seasons with the Patriots, from 2000 through 2019.
Brady and head coach Bill Belichick turned the AFC East into the NFL’s most consistent division during the 2000s and 2010s. New England won the division in Brady’s first season as a starter in 2001 and captured it in 16 of his 18 seasons as the team’s primary starter, with the 2002 and 2008 seasons as the exceptions.
The total includes the Patriots’ 2019 title, Brady’s final season in New England. He then left for Tampa Bay, where he won the NFC South in 2021 and 2022 rather than adding to his AFC East total.
The number is sometimes confused with New England’s overall franchise total, which includes titles won after Brady’s departure, or with the Patriots’ nine AFC Championship Game appearances during his tenure. The question asks specifically about AFC East division championships won with New England.
