During the 2022/23 season, the 30 franchises comprising the National Basketball Association (NBA) recorded a total revenue amounting to 10.58 billion U.S. dollars. This was an increase of over 500 million dollars from the previous year.
What are the NBA's main sources of revenue?
Among the NBA's main sources of income are broadcasting deals, sponsorships, and gate receipts. In 2023, the NBA's sponsorship revenue totaled 1.66 billion U.S. dollars, which was over 15 percent of total revenue for that year. One of the league's main sponsors since the 2017/18 season has been Nike, which is the league's official outfitter. Meanwhile, the share of overall revenue from gate receipts in the NBA was 21.57 percent in 2023.
Which NBA team generates the most revenue?
With an income of 765 million U.S. dollars, the Golden State Warriors were the NBA team with the highest revenue in the 2022/23 season. Between 2015 and 2023, the Warriors were a dominant force in the NBA, appearing in six of eight finals and winning four championships, ending their trophy drought stretching back to 1975. However, the Warriors still have some way to go to match the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA teams with the most championships, having won 17 each.
