While all major U.S. sports leagues have enjoyed positive trends in franchise valuation since 2007, the National Football League has consistently had the highest average franchise value among sports leagues in North America. In 2022, franchises in the NFL had an estimated average value of nearly 4.5 billion U.S. dollars, denoting an improvement of approximately 28 percent over the previous year.
