The Most Profitable Sports Teams in the United States

Sports is one of the big businesses in the world of entertainment. Within live broadcasts and television content, sporting events are gaining greater importance every day within the global economic sphere, especially in countries like the United States, where sports consumption is common and massive.

Not only television stations or organizers benefit from this boom, but also players, staff and, of course, owners of each of the franchises and teams that make up the world of professional sports. If we limit ourselves to the United States, two sports in particular attract a much larger audience than the rest: basketball (NBA) and American football (NFL).

That profitability is rarely related to the momentary success of a franchise. In fact, their stable income depends much more on other factors such as star players, historical importance, location of the headquarters or even image and marketing work. Therefore, among the list issued by Forbes, the majority of teams are not the last champions of the major leagues or the best projects in each sport.

The 10 most profitable teams

According to a report by Research and Markets, the total value of the sports market in the world is set at $512.14 million in 2023. If we limit ourselves to the United States, the market in that country accounts for a large part of this percentage, accumulated among several of the country’s mass sports.

Among the dozens of franchises, these are the ones that currently generate the most profits:

10. Chicago Bulls ($288 million)

9. Washington Commanders ($290 millones)

8. Los Angeles Rams ($318 million)

7. New York Giants ($333 millones)

6. Los Angeles Lakers ($333 million)

5. Golden State Warriors ($348 millones)

4. Houston Texans ($356 millones)

3. New York Knicks ($404 million)
