Most valuable NFL teams in 2025: Jerry Jones’ Cowboys lead way with Chiefs way off and three franchises topping $10 billion
NFL franchises dominate the list of the world’s most expensive sports teams.
If you are lucky enough to own one of the 32, you are sitting on a vast fortune that will only grow over time.
For the first time ever, three franchises have topped the $10 billion mark with an average of $7.1 billion across the league.
The Dallas Cowboys lead for the 19th straight year as Jerry Jones leads a marketing machine and America’s Team dominates the headlines, most recently with Micah Parsons‘ shock departure.
Forbes has crunched the numbers and produced a definitive list, ranked here from first to worst.
1. Dallas Cowboys – $13 billion
The Boys haven’t won the Super Bowl since 1996. It doesn’t matter, Jones is the fastest hand in the NFL when it comes to making money.

The NFL’s second-most expensive team plays in its most expensive stadium, worth a whopping $5.5 billion.
