Chris Jericho, shown here in his ninth reign, has held the championship the most.

The WWE Intercontinental Championship is a professional wrestling championship contested for in and owned by the American promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The title was introduced into WWE in 1979, which was known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) at the time. Pat Patterson, holder of the WWF North American Heavyweight Championship, had defended the title in an apocryphal tournament to be unified with a South American Heavyweight Championship in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1][2] The WWF considered the Intercontinental Championship to be the second most important championship in the company, after the WWF Championship.[3] In 2002, the WWF was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment. After the name change, the title was renamed the WWE Intercontinental Championship.[4]

The championship is generally contested in professional wrestling matches, in which participants execute scripted finishes rather than contend in direct competition. Some reigns were held by champions using a ring name, while others used their real name. The first champion was Pat Patterson, who won the championship in 1979, while as of November 2024 the champion is Dolph Ziggler. Overall, there have been 66 different champions, with Chris Jericho having the most reigns at nine.
