The 2015 World Series was the championship series of Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2015 season. The 111th edition of the World Series, it was a best-of-seven playoff between the National League (NL) championNew York Mets and the American League (AL) championKansas City Royals. The series was played between October 27 and November 1, with the Royals winning the series 4games to 1, clinching the team's second World Series and first since the 1985 series. It was the first time since 2010 that the Series extended into November.

The Royals had home field advantage for the series because of the AL's 6–3 victory in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It was the 13th World Series in which home field advantage was awarded to the league that won the All-Star Game, a practice that was discontinued after the 2016 season. The series was played in a 2-3-2 format: the Royals hosted Games 1and 2, and would have hosted Games 6and 7 had they been needed. The Mets hosted Games 3, 4, and5.

The Royals became the first team since the Oakland Athletics in the 1989 World Series to win the World Series after losing in the previous year; and in addition, they became the first expansion team to win the World Series since the Florida Marlins won it all in 2003. It was also the first World Series played between two expansion teams. Salvador Pérez was named the World Series Most Valuable Player.

The 2015 World Series is considered to be above average in most rankings.
