After winning their second consecutive World Series championship in 2026, the Los Angeles Dodgers are on the verge of MLB history.
In the history of MLB, only two franchises have completed a three-peat, and the Dodgers will look to join that exclusive club in the coming season.
The New York Yankees have three-peated on three different occasions, and the Athletics have done so one time.
Yankees 1936-39
The Yankees were the first team to ever complete a three-peat in MLB, and even won a fourth consecutive title from 1936-39.
The teams from this era of Yankees baseball were loaded, housing some of the most iconic names of that era such as Joe DiMiaggio and Lou Gehrig.
Across the four series, the Yankees took down the New York Giants in 1936 and 1937, the Chicago Cubs in 1938 and the Cincinnati Reds in 1939, with the final two World Series being sweeps.

Yankees 1949-53
The Yankees claimed the next three-part as well, with this stretch spanning five seasons — one more than the previous period.
DiMaggio stuck around for the first three seasons of the Yankees’ next dominant period, and put on the pinstripes with players like Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle during this time.
Nwe York took down the Brooklyn Dodgers in the first of their five titles before beating the Phillies in 1950 and the New York Giants in 1951. They also beat the Dodgers in the final two seasons of their five-peat.
Athletics 1972-74
The Athletics are the only non-Yankees team to have completed a three-peat, and did so from 1972-74.
Oakland dominated the 70s, with a collection of legendary players littering their ranks. Hall of Famers Reggie Jackson and Catfish Hunter headlined the A’s’ star studded roster, with other legends like Vida Blue, Sal Bando and Bert Campaneris rounding out the team.
During their three-peat, the A’s beat the Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets and the Dodgers.

Yankees 1998-2000
The most recent three-peat on the list also comes from New York, with the Yankees winning all three World Series from 1998-2000.
The Yankees had a multitude of modern-day legends in the Bronx to create their dynasty with Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Darryl Strawberry, Andy Petite and Mariano Rivera all donning the pinstripes during the run.
During their run, they took down the San Diego Padres in their only World Series appearance to date, the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets in 2000.
