MULTIPLE MAJOR SPORTS CHAPIONSHIPS IN A SEASON



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 seventeen times.

Detroit is the only city to have more than two major league championship teams in a season.

Philadelphia is the only city to have all four major sports teams play in their respective championship games or series in the same season (1980), though only one of the four actually won the championship.
