The last time every MLB team played in and won the World Series

Editor’s note: This story was originally published in 2022 and has been updated.

We’re getting close to crowning a World Series champion with the 2023 MLB postseason.

You may be wondering: When is the last time your favorite team — who may or may not be left in this year’s postseason — appeared in the Fall Classic?

We have the answers! We’ll run through every MLB team and tell you the last time they played in the World Series, along with when they last won it. Sadly, this is where we’ll doubly remind you that there are certain franchises that have never won it all… and one that’s never made it to the World Series at all.

Let’s dive in:
