Television rights in the United States weigh heavily in the balance, which explains why no National Hockey League team is in the top 50. In contrast, 26 NFL teams have their place.
On average, sports giants have even increased their value by 10% in the past year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Cowboys, who have had their ups and downs lately, still manage to stay at the top of the standings. The New York Yankees, with an estimated value of $ 5.25 billion, follow closely behind.
In the same city, but in basketball, the Knicks have lost 70% of their games in the last six seasons, but that does not prevent them from reaching the third step of the podium ($ 5 billion).
Three European soccer clubs are also ranked among the top 10. FC Barcelona (4e), Real Madrid (5e) and Bayern Munich (10e) dominate their sport. The German team quickly moved up the standings, being 24e in 2020, according to Forbes.
The Golden State Warriors have more than doubled in value in the past five years and, at $ 4.7 billion, they’ve now passed rivals the Los Angeles Lakers to sixth.
New England Patriots (8e) and the New York Giants (9e) are also part of the list.
