Multiple major sports championship seasons

Multiple major sports championship seasons

In the history of North American major professional sports league championships (which include the NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL) a city//metropolitan area has been home to multiple championships in a season fourteen times, most recently in 2004 when Boston's Patriots and Red Sox won their respective league championships. A city/metropolitan area has never been host to more than two major league championship teams in a year, although in 2002 Los Angeles metropolitan area's Lakers and Angels won the NBA and MLB championships along with two other local teams of smaller leagues (the Sparks of the WNBA and the Galaxy of the MLS).

Super Bowls take place the January after the NFL's regular season. Therefore, Super Bowl I, which took place January 15, 1967 is officially the championship game for the 1966 season. In the calendar year 2009, Pittsburgh's Steelers and Penguins won their respective championships, but the Steelers' championship was for the NFL's 2008 regular season. However, before 1965, the NFL championship game was played in December of that calendar year.
