The New York Mets and New York Yankees are Major League Baseball teams based in the New York metropolitan area. The Mets compete in the National League East, while the Yankees play in the American League East. The two clubs have faced each other in interleague play since 1997. Their meetings include several notable series, most famously the 2000 Subway Series, when they met in the postseason for the first time in franchise histories.
These matchups bring together two organizations from different leagues within the same city region, creating one of baseball’s most recognized rivalries. Because they do not play in the same league, their meetings are limited to interleague schedules, adding significance to each encounter. The 2000 postseason series remains a landmark moment, marking the first time they competed for a championship within the same playoff bracket.
