The Blue Jays head to New York on Tuesday for the third game of the 2025 American League Division Series against the Yankees. Toronto took a 2–0 lead in the series after two dominant home wins, and are looking to return to the ALCS, and ultimately, the World Series.
As the Blue Jays aim for their third win of the ALDS to clinch their spot in the next round of the playoffs, here's a look back at their World Series history.
When Was the Last Blue Jays World Series Win?
The Blue Jays last won the World Series in 1993, when they defeated the Phillies in six games and Paul Molitor was named the MVP of the series in his first season with the team. Molitor hit two doubles, two triples and two home runs in the World Series victory to claim MVP.
Toronto won the 1993 World Series in dramatic fashion. They entered the bottom of the ninth inning trailing the Phillies 6–5, who were on the verge of forcing Game 7 before Joe Carter hit a three-run walk-off home run to win the title. Carter became just the second player to win the World Series with a home run in the bottom of the ninth inning.
25 years ago today, the Blue Jays trailed 6-5 with two on in Game 6 of the World Series.

When Was the Last Blue Jays World Series Appearance?
The Blue Jays' last World Series appearance came the same year as their most recent championship victory in 1993. Following that win, it took the Blue Jays over 20 years before they returned to the postseason again in '15, when Josh Donaldson won the American League MVP award.
The Blue Jays are in their sixth postseason appearance since 2015, and with a 2–0 lead over the Yankees in the ALDS, look to be on track to earn their eighth ALCS appearance, and first since '16, when they lost to Cleveland. If the Blue Jays advance, they will face either the Tigers or Mariners for a shot at their third World Series appearance.
How many World Series have the Blue Jays won?
The Blue Jays have won a total of two World Series titles, winning them in back-to-back years in 1992 and '93. They became the second expansion team to win multiple World Series titles, along with the Mets. The 1977 expansion team made their first postseason appearance during their ninth season in '85, and then their first World Series in '92.
The Blue Jays are one of seven franchises to win the World Series in consecutive seasons, joining the Yankees, Athletics, Reds, Giants, Red Sox and Cubs. The Yankees and Athletics are the only teams that have won back-to-back World Series multiple times.
Toronto was unable to achieve a three-peat after their two World Series wins. They finished 55–60 in '94, but even if they did finish with a better result, they would not have been able to try for a third straight title due to a player's strike which caused the postseason to be canceled that year.
