championship drought
Prolonged winning absence
A championship drought is an extended period during which a sports team fails to win a title, often spanning years or decades.
The term carries emotional weight for fans who endure the wait: The Cubs ended their 108-year championship drought in 2016.
Drought emphasizes the painful absence—a dry spell where victory should flow.
