Which Boston Team Is Next To Win A Championship?

Story byTom CarrollMon, January 5, 2026 at 5:27 AM UTC·6 min readWith the Patriots clinching the No. 2 seed in the AFC for this upcoming postseason on Sunday, it got me thinking:Which pro team in Boston is the closest to winning the city its next championship?For those who haven’t been paying attention, the teams in this town have been on quite the run since February of 2002.

It’s been a lot of fun, but this is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately town. Just because the Red Sox have won four World Series since 2004 doesn’t let them off the hook for having to compete for the Commissioner’s Trophy every year. That’s still the expectation. Same for the Patriots.

Key Highlights

  • Same for the Celtics.
  • Same for the Bruins. Once you’re on top, it’s all about doing what needs to be done to stay on top. Some of these four teams are in a great position to compete right now, while others are probably nowhere near a true championship discussion.

  • Boston Bruins (22-18-2, 46 points)After selling off the veteran core of their team at the trade deadline last March, the Bruins unofficially announced to the hockey world that they were in a rebuild.
  • Or, as some like to call it in the market, a “retool” - the linguistic version of putting lipstick on a pig, in my opinion. And while the 2025-26 season for Boston has included some really good hockey for the black and gold, this is an organization that, ultimately, should not be selling out to try and make a deep playoff run this year. With all the draft capital they acquired from moving the likes of Brad Marchand, Brandon Carlo and Charlie Coyle, they need to rebuild the organization from the ground up (and actually hit on picks, which is another topic for another day).
