The 2023 World Series will be played between the Texas Rangers, the team from the Dallas metropolitan area, who have won their 3rd American League Pennant, and are still seeking their 1st World Series win, in their 52nd season of play; and the Arizona Diamondbacks, of Phoenix, who have won their 2nd National League Pennant, and are seeking to win the World Series again, as they did in 2001.
Ties broken by most recent. Pennants won by the franchise in another city/metropolitan area are not counted. Former teams in italics, and listed where they would rank if they still existed in that form.
