Major League Baseball (MLB) is notable for having thirty different teams across the United States and Canada. These teams come from the American League (AL) and the National League (NL) and compete with one another to go to the World Series games, the final stage of the season. To do that, all thirty teams start by competing in the regular season and then make their way through the postseason, including the Wild Card, Division Series and League Championship series games.

The last two teams face off against each other in the World Series games and the only team remaining after the games becomes the MLB World Series Champion for the season. Some of these teams like the New York Yankees are multi-time World Series Champions while others like the Texas Rangers have tasted success in the World Series games for the first time in their career in 2023. A new MLB champion is waiting to be crowned at the 2024 World Series games.
