This table shows how many games a team has finished as lineal champion of the league, either having just earned or defended the title. Additionally, the number of streaks (continuos posession of the title) is listed. This is the same as the number of games where a team has earned the title. Number of times the team has been the actual league champion is also shown, for comparison.
The table is sorted by the total number of games, descending. In case of ties, teams who have been the title holder last are shown first. Former teams are marked with †.
