1. Dallas Cowboys ($13 Billion)
While they haven’t made a Super Bowl since the 1995-96 season, the Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in American sports for the 19th consecutive year. Their valuation has more than doubled since 2021 and is up considerably from 2024, when the Cowboys became the first franchise to break $10 billion in valuation.
2. Los Angeles Rams ($10.5 Billion)
Revenue generated by the Rams actually dipped from $825 million to $764 million this past year, but the valuation still rocketed from $8 billion over the $10 billion threshold. The franchise still holds debt on a high percentage of value (44%) due to the $5 billion cost of building SoFi Stadium, which was completed in 2020.
3. New York Giants ($10.1 Billion)
The Giants surpassed the Patriots in valuation over the past year, jumping from $7.85 billion to $10.1 billion. According to Forbes, approximately $6.3 billion of that valuation comes from sport, while $1.58 million is from the large New York market and $1.48 million comes from MetLife Stadium.
4. New England Patriots ($9 Billion)
Once the most successful franchise in the NFL, the Patriots have fallen on hard times since Tom Brady left town. The franchise has still held steady as the fourth-most valuable in the country, with an estimated $762 million of revenue generated this past year.
5. San Francisco 49ers ($8.6 Billion)
The 49ers made a big leap from $7.4 billion to $8.6 billion over the past year with a corresponding rise in revenue. Attendance has been a huge boon for the franchise with an estimated $151 million in gross ticket sales in 2023, more than the Cowboys or any other franchise that year.
6. Philadelphia Eagles ($8.3 Billion)
Coming off a Super Bowl win, the Eagles have jumped to sixth in the valuation table with a very accurate number considering two investment groups purchased a minority stake in the team last December. The franchise was not always among the most valuable, and was purchased by Jeff Lurie for $185 million in 1994.
7. Chicago Bears ($8.2 Billion)
The Bears are another franchise witnessing huge growth in just a year with a 28% increase from a 2024 valuation of $6.4 billion. Hilariously, the Bears were originally purchased in 1920 by Virginia Halas McCaskey for the low price of $100. The McCaskey family still owns the franchise today and has been looking into building a new stadium in Chicago.
8. New York Jets ($8.1 Billion)
Signing Aaron Rodgers in 2023 helped prop up New York’s struggling football franchise, and moving on from the fading Hall of Fame quarterback two years later seems to have injected more value into the franchise. Like the Giants, the Jets generate a significant amount of revenue from MetLife Stadium and from media partnerships in the massive New York metro area.
9. Las Vegas Raiders ($7.7 Billion)
The Raiders vaulted to the fifth-highest spot in 2024 with a valuation of $7.8 billion, but have since been passed by a few franchises. Las Vegas does generate the second-most revenue ($832 million) among NFL teams since Allegiant Stadium provides corporate sponsorship income and is bolstered by the tourist-driven income of the gambling-based city.
10. Washington Commanders ($7.6 Billion)
Josh Harris purchased Washington in 2023 for $6.05 billion after disgraced former owner Dan Snyder was pushed out. The Commanders rose to No. 13 on the valuation list at $6.25 billion last year and has vaulted into the top 10 right after Jayden Daniels turned the team into a contender overnight.
