Yankees Beat Cowboys for Title of Most Valuable Sports Team

When it comes to valuations of sports teams, the New York Yankees are king of the hill and top of the heap.

The Bronx Bombers are worth $12.01 billion — beating out the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys for the title of most valuable franchise. 

The Cowboys are the second most valuable team with a valuation of $9.92 billion, according to the news site Sportico, which factored in metrics such as revenue, real estate, and related businesses.

The NBA’s New York Knicks ($8.12 billion) and the Golden State Warriors ($7.03 billion) are the only other sports franchises whose valuations are north of $6 billion.

According to Sportico, the Yankees generated $700 million in revenue in 2023 — the highest in all of Major League Baseball.

The Yankees also generate an additional $800 million in cash flow  every year from its ownership of YES, the regional sports network that broadcasts Yankees and Brooklyn Nets games.
