Top 10 most valuable sports franchises in the world

Forbes recently published the list of the top ten most valuable franchises across all sports in the world. Among the findings, no Premier League teams made the list despite their financial dominance. Only one MLB Franchise came up with numerous NFL and NBA franchises. 

10. Bayern Munich (Football) $4.21bn

The Bavarian Giants won the sextuple last season, and are the first entry in the top ten list. The nine years laden with Bundesliga silverware at the very least have boosted their value massively in the market. 

9. New York Giants (NFL) $4.3bn

The Giants will celebrate 100 years as a franchise in four years’ time. They won the Super Bowl editions XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI and won the NFL Championships in 1927, 1934, 1938, 1956.

Los Blancos were the most valuable football club as recently as April. However, their rivals Barcelona managed to get ahead of them in the finding by Forbes. Madrid have 13 European crowns and 34 LaLiga titles in their history to account for, and it could be 35 in a few weeks. 

4. Barcelona (Football) $4.76bn

Despite having over a billion euros worth of debt, Barcelona are the most valuable club in the world as reported by Forbes. The Blaugrana won the Copa del Rey this season, and have 5 Champions League titles in their history. 

3. New York Knicks (NBA) $5bn

With 2 NBA Championships, 4 conference titles and 8 division titles, the Knicks are the most valuable NBA franchise. Their home games are played at the MSG, and given the marquee status of the city, it’s quite hard to believe that they haven’t achieved more. 

2. New York Yankees (MLB) $5.25bn

The only MLB franchise to make an appearance in the list, and the second from New York, the Yankees are among the most successful sports franchises in the world. They have won a record 27 World Series titles and 40 American League titles.
