This is a list of cities in the United States and Canada that field or have fielded teams in the five North American major 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 six major North American team sports — American football, baseball, basketball, Canadian football ice hockey, as well as soccer (or association football).
Cities that can claim no titles have been excluded from these rankings unless they are currently represented in at least one of the six major leagues, in which case they have a zero total.
