2025 is drawing to a close, and one question that everyone wants to get answered is which team across sports is the most valuable in this calendar year, and what's the total worth all about? According to a report in Forbes, the NFL club Dallas Cowboys is the most valuable team in the world this year, with a total worth of a whopping USD 13 billion. They are followed by the Golden State Warriors in second place, with a total worth of USD 11 billion.
The entire list is dominated by NFL teams, with the top 50 list comprising 44 teams from this particular sport. There are two Premier League clubs in the list as well, with Manchester United pipping last year's title holders Liverpool.
Two La Liga clubs also made their presence felt, with both Real Madrid and Barcelona making the list. Apart from football and the NFL, the other sport that is represented in the list is Formula 1, with both Ferrari and Mercedes making the cut.
No Indian Premier League (IPL) team has managed to make the list, and the final spot in the top-50 cut belonged to Toronto Raptors with a worth of USD 5.4 billion.
According to Forbes, the list is compiled from Forbes’ latest valuations of Formula 1, MLB, NBA, NFL, and soccer franchises. The team values are enterprise values (equity plus net debt), and they include the economics of each team's home stadium but not the value of the stadium real estate itself. The values also include rights fees from regional sports networks owned by the team.
