Frequently Asked Questions
How many teams are in MLB?
Major League Baseball currently has 30 teams divided into two leagues: the American League (AL) and the National League (NL). Each league has three divisions — East, Central, and West — each containing five teams. The 30 teams are spread across the United States and Canada (the Toronto Blue Jays are MLB's only Canadian franchise).
What are the most successful MLB franchises?
The New York Yankees hold the most World Series titles with 27 championships as of 2026. The St. Louis Cardinals have the second most with 11. The Oakland Athletics/Athletics and Boston Red Sox have 9 each, while the San Francisco Giants have 8. The Yankees' sustained success across different eras makes them the most decorated franchise in North American professional sports history.
What is the difference between the AL and NL?
The American League and National League were merged under one MLB structure in 2000 but maintained separate traditions. The most significant historical difference was the Designated Hitter (DH) rule: the AL used the DH (allowing a player to hit in place of the pitcher) from 1973, while the NL did not. In 2022, MLB adopted a universal DH rule for both leagues, largely eliminating this distinction.
What are MLB's expansion teams?
Several teams joined MLB through expansion since the 1960s. Recent expansions include the Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins (1993), Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks (1998). The Athletics relocated from Oakland to Sacramento and will eventually move to Las Vegas. MLB has approved a new franchise in Nashville expected to begin play in 2028.
