The National Football League is generating huge returns for its owners. The average team is worth around $6.5 billion today, with the higher valuations primarily due to the league’s media deals. And the teams’ owners have seen better returns on their initial investments than those from traditional stocks. Seven of the 10 past NFL teams to be sold have outperformed the S&P 500 in terms of percentage gains since the sales took place. Among the three that have underperformed, the Washington Commanders and the Denver Broncos were sold within the past two years, and the Miami Dolphins were last sold in 2009, a time when the market was still recovering from the 2007-08 financial crisis. Those teams are ranked 13th, 14th and 8th, respectively. Here is how the other teams rank on CNBC’s Official 2024 NFL Team Valuations list.
