The U.S. media selected the top 100 most valuable sports teams, with the NBA and NFL dominating, and no football in the top ten
The annual Sportico Sports Rankings are published and include the rankings of 100 sports teams from around the world. Unlike the Forbes list, Sportico calculates each team's earnings based on publicly available information and financial records, as well as interviews with people with knowledge of the team's finances, including sports bankers and lawyers who are active in trading.
This information has been vetted by team members, including owners, team or parent company CEOs, presidents, CFOs, and media relations employees, as well as industry experts and investors. Earnings listed are based on the following seasons: 2022 (NFL, MLB, F1), 2022-23 (NBA, NHL), and 2021-22 (Global Football).
As you can see, the top 10 are all from the United States, with basketball and football accounting for nine of the spots, and the remaining one from the baseball team. I have to say that when it comes to running sports teams, American teams are really smart. This year's top 10 are: 1 Dallas Cowboys NFL, 2 Golden State Warriors NBA, 3 New York Knicks NBA, 4 Los Angeles Lakers NBA, 5 New York Yankees MLB, 6 New York Giants NFL, 7 Los Angeles Rams NFL, 8 New England Patriots NFL, 9 San Francisco 49ers NFL, 10 New York Jets NFL.
This list counts a total of 6 major sports: football, basketball, baseball, rugby, FI and ice hockey, and as the world's largest sport, football, none of them are in the top 10. Let's take a look at the top 100 teams:
