Forbes list of the most valuable sports teams

Source[1] According to the latest ranking from December 12, 2024: For the ninth straight year, the Dallas Cowboys are the world’s most valuable sports team, worth an estimated $10.1 billion—the first to cross the 11-figure threshold and $1.3 billion beyond their closest competition.

But there is plenty of movement among the top 50 teams, with 12 NBA franchises now flooding the ranking, double the six on last year’s list and led by the Golden State Warriors, worth an estimated $8.8 billion and No.

2 overall.The influx of NBA teams comes at the expense of Major League Baseball, which lost two teams in the top 50 (the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants); Formula 1, which had both of its outfits fall out (Ferrari and Mercedes); and the NFL, which is now missing the Buffalo Bills.

MLB, which had five teams in the top 50 a year ago, now has only three, with the New York Yankees leading the way.

Manchester United (2010–12) and Real Madrid (2013–15) have previously each been named the most valuable team three times.
