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 eighteen times, most recently in 2020–2021 when the Tampa Bay Lightning and Tampa Bay Buccaneers won their respective championships.
On February 7, 2021 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first and only team to ever play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. They won 31 to 9, making them also the only team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium. 5, tie) 2007 Chicago Cubs. Regular season:85-77, NL Central champion. Winning percentage.525.
Philadelphia is the only city to have all four major sports teams (MLB's Phillies, NBA's 76ers, NFL's Eagles, and NHL's Flyers) play in their respective championship game or series in the same season (in 1980), though only one of the four (Phillies) actually won the championship. Tampa Bay, which does not have an NBA team, had all three of its major sports teams (MLB's Rays, NFL's Buccaneers, and NHL's Lightning) play in their respective championships in the 2020 season, with the Lightning and Buccaneers winning the championships.
Because some of the present-day 'big four' North American sports leagues have merged with other leagues and their championships in the past, this article considers the following to be major sports championships:
Teams which are based in the same metropolitan area are considered together for this article even if they are not based in the same city. For example, teams representing Oakland, California are grouped with other teams based in the San Francisco Bay Area, while teams playing in or representing New Jersey are grouped with other teams based in the New York City metropolitan area.
While the Super Bowl game is held in February (January prior to 2002), a Super Bowl championship is considered to be the championship for the year in which the regular season was played; for example, Super Bowl LIII, played on February 3, 2019, was the championship game for the 2018 NFL season and is thus considered a 2018 championship. All other championships including pre-Super Bowl football championships are considered to have been won the year in which the championship was awarded.

It’s unbelievable that this stat can possibly be a real thing, but here we are: Tom Brady has now personally won more Super Bowls than any NFL team in history.
Brady’s win with the Buccaneers on Sunday night gave him his seventh Super Bowl title.
His previous six were with the Patriots, who sit tied with the Steelers with six all-time Super Bowls. That’s the most any team has won in league history. The Cowboys and 49ers each have five.
Brady has … seven.
It’s sort of flabbergasting when you think about it. This thing is so hard to win that since 1967 one two teams have each one it six times, and then one guy came into the league and did it seven times. (Six with one of the record-holding teams!)
Unbelievable.
