# List of Atlanta Braves seasons

The Atlanta Braves have completed 152 years of professional baseball, the most in Major League Baseball. Through 2015, the Braves have played 20,994 regular season games in the National League and previously the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, winning 10,595 games and losing 10,399 games, for a winning percentage of .505. In all MLB play, the team has a record of 10,677–10,483 through the 2015 season.
The team was founded in 1871 as the Boston Red Stockings and was one of the nine charter members of National Association of Professional Base Ball Players. The team changed its name to the Boston Red Caps in 1876 when it joined the National League. The team changed its name a few more times in the late 1800s and early 1900s before settling on the Braves name in 1912. In 1953, the team moved to Milwaukee. After 13 seasons in Milwaukee, the Braves moved again to their current city, Atlanta. The team played in Turner Field 1997 to 2016, and began the 2017 season playing in SunTrust Park.
The Braves have experienced several periods of success. The team was very dominant in the late nineteenth century, when it was known as the Boston Beaneaters, winning four of the five National Association of Professional Base Ball Players championships and eight National League pennants. In Milwaukee, the team never had a losing season. From 1991 until 2005 the Braves were one of the most successful franchises in baseball, winning fourteen consecutive division titles (omitting the strike-shortened 1994 season in which there were no official division champions) and five National League pennants. In the 2011 season, the Braves became the third team to win 10,000 MLB games. The franchise has won four World Series – one in Boston, one in Milwaukee and two in Atlanta.
In addition, the Braves have experienced periods of futility. The team had eleven straight losing seasons from 1903 through 1913, during six of which they lost over 100 games. After a short period of prominence, the Braves between 1917 and 1945 experienced only three winning records and five 100-loss seasons, including having the fourth worst record in MLB history in the 1935 season. Between 1970 and 1990, the Braves achieved just one postseason appearance and suffered seventeen losing seasons out of twenty-one. During the 2011 season, the Braves became the second franchise to lose 10,000 MLB games.
This article lists the results of every season of the franchise, including years based in Boston and Milwaukee.
