The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in all of sports, according to Sportico. The team is estimated to be worth $7.64 billion, which the Sportico report says is $630 million more than the value of MLB’s New York Yankees.
Sportico’s financial estimates for each NFL came “from interviews with more than 30 bankers, lawyers, team executives, owners and consultants involved in the sport, as well as public records.”
The report found that the average NFL franchise is worth $4.1 billion, a healthy 18% increase from 2021. A total of 16 NFL teams are worth an estimated $4 billion. To put that into perspective, there are only four NBA franchises and three MLB franchises that are worth at least $4 billion.
