If the Yankees can pull off a victory over the Dodgers in the World Series, it would mark the seventh time in history that New York has won multiple major sports championships in the same calendar year. This would break the tie with Los Angeles for most multi-championship years in history.
According to the Los Angeles Times10 US cities had the luxury of seeing championships in two different sports across the seven major leagues, including the , , , MLS, WNBA and NWSL). Only four of these cities have done this more than once.
- Los Angeles (1988, 2001, 2002, 2012, 2014, 2020)
- New York (1927, 1928, 1933, 1938, 1956, 1986)
- Detroit (1935, 1952, 2008)
- Boston (2004, 2018)
- Washington D.C. (2019)
- Kansas City (2015)
- Chicago (1998)
- San Francisco (1989)
- Pittsburgh (1979)
- Baltimore (1970)
The Yankees are just four wins away from making New York the greatest sports city of all time again, and they have everything they need to defeat the Dodgers. Juan Soto is putting in an MVP-level performance, the starting rotation is strong, and players like Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton can change any game with a single shot.
Inside CBS Sports' World Series predictionsThree of our six experts picked the Yankees to finish the job in a long and hard-fought series.
Even if the Yankees narrowly miss another championship, New York will still get a few bites at the apple before the calendar turns to 2025. New York City FC and the New York Red Bulls are both in the MLS Cup playoffs, but both teams are first-round underdogs.
Gotham FC remains on the soccer field, currently sitting in third place in the NWSL standings and just four points out of first place with a record of 16-4-5. The NWSL playoffs begin next month and Gotham FC will be one of the teams competing for the title.
About a month after the NWSL season ends, the ball will drop in Times Square and a new year will begin. This provides New York with another opportunity to win multiple championships in the same year.
The New York Knicks and New York Rangers in particular should be preparing for great postseason success in their respective sports. After an active and exciting offseason that included deals for Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Knicks have just begun their regular season. Despite the 132-109 loss to the reigning champion Boston Celtics, the Knicks are still among the favorites to win the 2025 NBA title.
Before opening night Our NBA experts have logged their postseason predictions. Six of them picked the Knicks to reach the conference finals, two more picked them to go to the finals, and one made them win it all.
The Rangers, the Knicks' roommates at Madison Square Garden, came into the NHL season as Stanley Cup contenders and played that role in six games. The Blueshirts are 5-0-1, Igor Shesterkin has been a brick wall in goal and Artemi Panarin appears to be an early candidate for the Hart Trophy. There's a lot to like about this team, which has been to the conference finals twice in the last three seasons.
The confetti just kicked up at Barclays Center, but it will almost certainly be the Liberty He will again be one of the WNBA championship favorites next seasonand the same goes for a Yankees club that has many of its key players locked up until at least next season.
Let's not forget how close we came to a Subway Series in the World Series. The New York Mets were just six wins away from their first championship since 1986 could just be the start of a championship window in Queens.
New York sports fans have a lot more to look forward to than usual next year. A handful of teams from various sports are legitimate contenders, and parade planners could be quite busy in the near future.
