The San Francisco Bay Area has six major league teams spread in three cities, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. While the Greater Los Angeles Area is also home to six major league franchises, it is the largest metropolitan area not to have a team from the National Football League. San Diego has two major league teams, and Sacramento has one.
