Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Class A shares of the MFS Mid Cap Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 29.60%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 35.19% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000 ® ® As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. At the end of the period, China unveiled a sizable stimulus package aimed at shoring up its property sector and bolstering consumer and investor confidence. Toward the end of the period, labor markets, particularly in the US, loosened modestly, brightening the inflation outlook. Global equity markets reached record levels during the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell Midcap ® Security selection within the information technology, industrials, and materials sectors contributed to relative performance. Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell Midcap ® Security selection within both the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors held back relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Class R2 shares of the MFS Mid Cap Value Fund (fund) provided a total return of 29.26%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 35.19% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000 ® ® As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. At the end of the period, China unveiled a sizable stimulus package aimed at shoring up its property sector and bolstering consumer and investor confidence. Toward the end of the period, labor markets, particularly in the US, loosened modestly, brightening the inflation outlook. Global equity markets reached record levels during the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell Midcap ® Security selection within the information technology, industrials, and materials sectors contributed to relative performance. Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell Midcap ® Security selection within both the consumer discretionary and utilities sectors held back relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Class A shares of the MFS Blended Research Core Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 36.61%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 36.35% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Class B shares of the MFS Blended Research Core Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 35.58%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 36.35% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. At the end of the period, China unveiled a sizable stimulus package aimed at shoring up its property sector and bolstering consumer and investor confidence. Toward the end of the period, labor markets, particularly in the US, loosened modestly, brightening the inflation outlook. Global equity markets reached record levels during the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index: Security selection within both the utilities and information technology sectors benefited relative performance. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index: Security selection within both the health care and industrials sectors held back relative returns. | |

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block] | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE For the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, Class R3 shares of the MFS Blended Research Core Equity Fund (fund) provided a total return of 36.57%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 36.35% for the fund’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. As inflation moderated around the globe during the reporting period, several major central banks began to ease monetary policy. Geopolitical strains remained high amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East, while relations between China and the US remained tense. At the end of the period, China unveiled a sizable stimulus package aimed at shoring up its property sector and bolstering consumer and investor confidence. Toward the end of the period, labor markets, particularly in the US, loosened modestly, brightening the inflation outlook. Global equity markets reached record levels during the period as they withstood the adversity of the unsettled geopolitical climate and higher interest rate environment amidst optimism over wide-scale adoption of artificial intelligence. Top contributors to performance relative to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index: Security selection within both the utilities and information technology sectors benefited relative performance. Top detractors from performance relative to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index: Security selection within both the health care and industrials sectors held back relative returns. | |
