The New York Jets officially have the longest playoff drought in North American professional sports. They last made the playoffs in 2010, when Mark Sanchez led them to the AFC championship game.
The Sacramento Kings had maintained the longest drought for many years, having missed the NBA playoffs every year since 2006.Â
That long losing streak officially ended in March 2023, when the Kings clinched a playoff berth.
The Jets have regional company, as the Sabres aren’t far behind them on the drought list.Â
