The Chicago Cubs have won the World Series three times in their history: in 1907, 1908, and most famously in 2016. Their 2016 victory was historic because it ended a 108-year championship drought, the longest in North American professional sports history. They won the 2016 World Series by defeating the Cleveland Indians in a thrilling seven-game series that included a 10-inning Game 7, clinched on November 2, 2016.
Summary of Cubs World Series wins:
- 1907 World Series champions
