The Mets made their fifth appearance in the World Series after sweeping the Cubs 4–0 in the 2015 National League Championship Series (NLCS). Salvador Pérez was named the World Series Most Valuable Player. It was also the first World Series played between two expansion teams. 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. The series was played in a 2-3-2 format: the Royals hosted Games 1 and 2, and would have hosted Games 6 and 7 had they been needed. 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 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 first time since 2010 that the Series extended into November. The series was played between October 27 and November 1, with the Royals winning the series 4 games to 1, clinching the team's second World Series and first since the 1985 series.
