Brewers win 2026 World Series: Now only 4 franchises remain without title

The Milwaukee Brewers have achieved a historic milestone, becoming World Series champions in 2026. This marks the first time the franchise, which joined MLB in 1969, has lifted the championship trophy. Prior to this victory, the Brewers were among five active teams without a World Series title. The Brewers' postseason run was exceptional, as they lost just two games en route to their championship.

Their journey began with a victory over the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series (NLDS), followed by a sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series (NLCS). The Brewers' dominance extended to the pivotal Game 5 against the Tampa Bay Rays, where they secured a 4-3 win in a thrilling 12-inning contest.

This achievement brings the total number of MLB franchises without a World Series title down to four: the Tampa Bay Rays, San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners, and Colorado Rockies. Seattle holds the distinction of being the only franchise among the four that has never even reached a World Series, while the other three have appeared in the Fall Classic but failed to win.

The Brewers' accomplishment is a testament to their hard work and perseverance throughout an unforgettable season and postseason. Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers on their well-deserved championship victory.
