List of U.S. cities by number of professional sports championships

For all North American cities, see List of North American cities by number of major sports championships.

New York City has won the most professional sports championships of any American city.

This is a list of cities in the United States that field or have fielded teams in North American men's professional sports leagues, showing the number of league championships each city has won. The championships won are recorded for the cities only, not the individual franchises. When a team relocates to a new city, the number of championships won in the prior city remain with that city.

Championships counted are only from the top-tier/dominant league or leagues in each of the four major North American team sports — American football, baseball, basketball, and ice hockey.

Cities that can claim no titles have been excluded from these rankings unless they are currently represented in at least one of the four major leagues, in which case they have a zero total.
