Name all MLB teams

How this quiz works

Six divisions of five, split between the American and National Leagues. Type teams into the box — the nickname on its own is enough — and each one drops into its division, out of 30 in all.

The two Central divisions are where this one is decided. Ten teams, none of them glamorous, and most people can name four.

Two recent changes catch people out: Cleveland became the Guardians in 2021, and the Athletics dropped Oakland from their name after leaving the city — they are the only team in the league with no city in their title.

When the clock runs out, or when you give up, every team you missed is revealed in its division.

Questions people ask

How many teams are in MLB?

30, in six divisions of five. Fifteen in the American League and fifteen in the National League. Toronto is the only one outside the United States.

Can I change the timer?

Yes. Pick 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes before you start, or choose Count up — that mode has no limit and the clock stops the moment you get the last one, so it doubles as a speedrun timer. Your choice is remembered for next time.

Do I have to press Enter?

No. Every answer is taken the moment you finish spelling it and the box clears itself, so you can type straight through a run without touching Enter. Names that begin another name are handled too: type “niger” and Niger counts immediately, then carry on with “ia” — or just type “nigeria” in one go — and Nigeria counts as well.

Does spelling have to be exact?

Capitals, spaces, hyphens, punctuation and accents are all ignored, so “red sox”, “white sox” and “blue jays” all work without their cities, and “Oakland Athletics” is accepted for the Athletics. There is no Enter to press — an answer counts the instant you finish spelling it.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install, no ads in the way of the board. Your best score is kept in your own browser and never leaves your device.
