List of Eastern League champions


The Eastern League of Minor League Baseball is one of three Double-A baseball leagues in the United States. A league champion is determined at the end of each season. Champions have been determined by postseason playoffs, winning the regular season pennant, or being declared champion by the league office. As of 2019, the league operates under a split season format in which the first place teams from each division in both the first and second halves of the season qualify for the playoffs. In the event that the same team wins both halves, the team with the best win–loss record over the full season qualifies. The first and second half winners then compete in a best-of-five series to determine division champions. The division winners then play each other in a best-of-five series to determine a league champion.
