List of South Atlantic League champions
The South Atlantic League of Minor League Baseball is one of two Class A baseball leagues in the United States. A league champion is determined at the end of each season. Champions have been determined by postseason playoffs, winning the regular season pennant, or being declared champion by the league office. Currently, the first- and second-half winners within each division, Northern and Southern, meet in a best-of-three series to determine division champions. Then, the North and South division winners play a best-of-five series to determine a league champion.
