Most MLB World Series Titles by Team
The New York Yankees' 27 titles are more than the next two franchises combined, though 20 of them came before 1980. The Athletics won their nine in three different cities, Philadelphia, Kansas City and Oakland. The Chicago Cubs supply the famous counterexample: 108 years separated their 1908 and 2016 championships, the longest drought in North American professional sport.
Analysis
New York Yankees heads the table on 27, ahead of St. Louis Cardinals (11) and Los Angeles Dodgers (9) in World Series Titles in 2025. The total is spread widely: even New York Yankees accounts for only 26.2% of the 14 combined. Only 1 of the 14 reaches even half the leader's figure (13.5 or more). It takes the next three entities (St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Athletics) added together to match New York Yankees.
