Winning a World Series requires a team to power through 162 regular-season games in a span of about 180 days and leave enough fuel to excel in the postseason. Winning back-to-back World Series titles requires even more consistency, strength, and determination.
Since the first World Series in 1903, no team has been more successful than the New York Yankees. The Yankees have also won the most consecutive World Series titles.
In 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers scored their first back-to-back World Series titles after beating the Toronto Blue Jays in a fiery Game 7. In 2024, the Dodgers bested the New York Yankees for their eighth franchise title. The Blue Jays had previously won consecutive championships in 1992 and 1993.
