The\u00a0World Series<\/a>\u00a0has been around for more than 120 years, but some teams are still waiting for their chance to lift the\u00a0Commissioner\u2019s Trophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Teams like the\u00a0New York Yankees<\/a>, St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox<\/a> and Athletics<\/a>\u00a0have been crowned champions plenty of times in their history. Other teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks,\u00a0Washington Nationals<\/a>\u00a0and, most recently, the\u00a0Texas Rangers<\/a>\u00a0have gotten their first taste of World Series glory in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

Several teams are still chasing their first championship in 2025, though. Could this be the year that another first-time champion joins the club?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the MLB teams that have never won a World Series title:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Which MLB teams have never won the World Series?<\/p>\n

After the Rangers\u00a0won their first title<\/a>\u00a0in 2023, there are still five MLB organizations have never won the World Series — including two that are still alive in the 2025 postseason.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee Brewers*<\/p>\n

Seattle Mariners*<\/p>\n

San Diego Padres<\/a><\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Rays<\/p>\n

Colorado Rockies<\/p>\n

Milwaukee and Seattle are both seeking their first World Series as they battle in the NLCS and ALCS, respectively. If they can both advance to the World Series, we will be guaranteed to have a first time winner.<\/p>\n

MLB teams with multiple World Series appearances but no titles<\/p>\n

Two of the teams that have never won the World Series have played in it multiple times.<\/p>\n

Among the teams without a title, the Rays have the most recent World Series appearance. Tampa Bay made its World Series debut in 2008 and lost to the\u00a0Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>\u00a0in five games. It got back to the World Series in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, falling to the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then there are the\u00a0San Diego Padres<\/a>. The team reached the World Series for the first time in 1984 and got back in 1998. The Padres made it to the NLCS in 2022, but it was the Phillies that reached the Fall Classic thanks to a gentleman\u2019s sweep. The last two years have ended with losses in the NLDS (2024) and NL Wild Card (2025).<\/p>\n

MLB teams with one World Series appearance but no title<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies each have one World Series appearance under their belts.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee\u2019s came in 1982, back when it was in the American League. The Brewers took a 3-2 series lead over the Cardinals before dropping Games 6 and 7 in St. Louis. Now, the Brewers are seeking their first World Series appearance in 43 years as they face the Dodgers in the 2025 NLCS. Their closest call to making it back came on the same stage against the Dodgers in 2018 when they lost in Game 7 of the NLCS.<\/p>\n

The Rockies stormed into the 2007 World Series after sweeping their way through the NLDS and NLCS. They got a taste of their own medicine in the World Series, though, as the Red Sox broke out the brooms in four games. Colorado has won just one postseason game since clinching the 2007 NL pennant, and it hasn’t finished above .500 in a season since 2018.<\/p>\n

MLB teams with no World Series appearances<\/p>\n

The World Series has never taken place in Seattle — but that could be changing in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Mariners are the only MLB team that has yet to reach the Fall Classic, though they have come close.<\/p>\n

The team reached the ALCS three times from 1995 to 2001. The 2001 ALCS defeat at the hands of the Yankees came after the Mariners tied the 1906\u00a0Chicago Cubs<\/a>\u00a0with an MLB-record 116 regular season wins. Their closest calls came in 1995 and 2000, when they lost in six games.<\/p>\n

Reaching the playoffs, let alone the World Series, has been a struggle ever since. Seattle went through a 20-year playoff drought before clinching a berth in 2022, where it won a Wild Card Series over the Toronto Blue Jays before getting swept by the Astros in the ALDS. Now, they’ll have to defeat the Blue Jays again in the 2025 ALCS to make their Fall Classic debut.<\/p>\n
