Article History

There are four professional team-sports leagues that are the most prestigious in North America: Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Basketball Association (NBA), the National Football League (NFL), and the National Hockey League (NHL). These leagues feature the highest level of competition in the world in their respective sports, and, consequently, their annual champions are crowned with the greatest acclaim. A measure of that glory is shared by the fans of those teams and the cities in which they are based, and those cities with the most pro titles can claim the most bragging rights. Unsurprisingly, the New York City metropolitan area has by far the most championships of any North American sports hub, it being the largest such area on the continent and thus having the ability to support multiple franchises in each sport as well as a team in every league since the league’s founding. Below is a map of all major pro-league titles won by teams in North American urban areas.
