For the ninth consecutive year, the Dallas Cowboys are the maximum valuable sports team in the world, they value approximately $ 10. 1 billion, the first to break the threshold of 11 figures and $ 1. 3 billion beyond its closest competition. But a lot of motion among the 50 maximum sensible teams, with 12 NBA franchises that flood the classifications, double the six on last year’s list and led through the Golden State Warriors, value approximately $ 8. 8 billion and No. 2 In general.
To be fair, this build is due in component to a replacement in the Forbes list calendar, however, the basketball market in the currency rankings also reflects genuine gains across NBA groups. The league’s 30 franchises were valued at $4. 4 billion on average this year, a building of 15% to 2023 and a jump of 596% a decade ago (a compounded annual return of 21%). No other game represented among the top 50 valuable groups comes close to this appreciation.
The entry into NBA groups is at the expense of Major League Baseball, which has lost two groups in the Top 50 (the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants); Formula 1, which dropped its two outfits (Ferrari and Mercedes); And the NFL, which now lacks Buffalo’s tickets. (Due to the 50-50 tie this year between the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals and the NBA’s Phoenix Suns, six new groups are signing up for qualifying, while only five groups are leaving. )
The NFL, however, continues to dominate the list with 29 franchises, 58 % of the 50 most sensible. 4 leagues, with Real Madrid of Spain, Real Madrid, leading the way to $ 6. 6 billion, tied in the 12th.
While Europe’s elite soccer teams may have unbeatable global reach, nothing tops the commercialization of American pro sports, starting with their media deals. The NBA’s national TV agreements, signed in July and taking effect next season, are reportedly worth $76 billion over 11 years, translating to an average annual payout of $230 million per team. Each NFL team, meanwhile, will receive roughly $380 million per year on average across the life of the league’s national media rights package, which altogether is set to pay at least $125.5 billion through 2033.
Consider that Atlético Madrid of the League, which is not among the 50 maximum valuable sports groups in the world, but held the 13th position among the football clubs in the Forbes list in 2024, had 382 million dollars of income source Last season, of all sources, of all sources, according to Forbes estimates. Or simply look at Manchester City, who has accumulated 4 consecutive titles in the hard premier league in England and the Champions League Trophy 2023. The club now has a value of $ 5. 1 billion, which treated it in the 31 In the Mondial qualification with the angels of the NFL loaders, which are only the fifth maximum valid franchise in its national market, Rams, Lakers, Caquippers and Dodgers.
Combined, the 50 most valuable teams are worth just under $289 billion, or an average of roughly $5.8 billion, up 13% from 2023. The cutoff is also at record levels, rising 16% to $4.3 billion from last year’s $3.7 billion. In fact, this year’s last-place team would have been No. 1 just seven years ago, when the Cowboys led the ranking at $4.2 billion.
The 50 most valuable teams are taken from the maximum recent evaluations of Formula 1, MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and Soccer teams. Team prices are corporate prices (more net debt) and come with the economy of the team’s stadium, but not the team’s stadium, but not the price of the genuine estate of the stadium itself. Similarly, prices come with the fees of the rights of regional sports networks owned by the team, but not the price of the NSR themselves; Capital problems for other sports assets and real estate projects for mixed use are also excluded.
