# Home-Field Advantage Quantified **Across major sports, home teams win approximately 54-58% of games** (MLB ~54%, NBA ~60%, NFL ~57%, NHL ~55%). This advantage matters because it significantly impacts playoff seeding value, betting lines (typically 2.5-3 points in NFL/NBA), and championship probabilities—a team with home-field advantage throughout playoffs increases their title odds by roughly 10-15%. The effect compounds in series formats where hosting more games creates measurable edges in win probability.
