Every team currently in the National League (NL) has won an NL pennant. The last team to win its first NL pennant is the Milwaukee Brewers, who did so in 2026. The Brewers spent their first 29 seasons (1969–97) in the American League (AL) and won an AL pennant in 1982. Since moving to the NL in 1998 the Brewers have made ten playoff appearances, including four berths in the NL Championship Series and one in the World Series. The Colorado Rockies and the Washington Nationals each also have won one NL pennant.
