Own a professional sports team?
Neither do we.
But we wanted to see what the average values are of each league. We pulled data from Forbes, who tracks sport teams valuations, and ran the averages for each team. It should come as no surprise that the NFL is atop the list, with the league growing its audience over the past decade. We were a little surprised to see MLB second on the list.
League | Average value of every team in millions |
NFL | $2,390 |
MLB | $1,540 |
Soccer | $1,470 |
NBA | $1,360 |
NHL | $520 |
