List of Philadelphia Phillies seasons

The Philadelphia Phillies have completed 131 seasons in Major League Baseball since their inception in 1883.

[1] This list documents the season-by-season records of the Phillies’ franchise including their year as the “Quakers” and the years where they shared the names “Quakers” and “Phillies.” The team was formed in the National League after the dissolution of the Worcester baseball franchise at the end of 1882, though there is no additional connection between the teams.

[2] At times, the Phillies’ search for success has been seen as an exercise in futility,[3][4] because of their long stretches of losing seasons,[5] including sixteen consecutive from 1933 through 1948.

Compared to the team's early days, the Phillies have recently been more successful than not, with two periods of extended success: the first from 1975 to 1983, when they won five East Division championships as well as the first-half championship in the strike-shortened 1981 season,[5] and the second starting in 2001, with a winning percentage of .540 over those nine seasons, finishing above .500 in all but one, and making the playoffs from 2007 to 2011.

[8][9] During the 2007 season, the franchise also became the first professional sports team in American history to reach 10,000 losses.
