Here’s how many billions it would take to buy an NFL team in 2025

Billions, with a capital ‘B’.

With the dawn of a new season on the horizon, the NFL team valuations are out ahead of the Week 1 kickoff. As is tradition, Forbes has released those numbers for 2025.

Each of the league’s 32 teams are worth at least $5 billion for the first time – evidence that the NFL is a money-making machine and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

It comes as no surprise that the Dallas Cowboys top the list at $13 billion, followed by the Los Angeles Rams ($10.5 billion) and New York Giants ($10.1 billion) as the only franchises to eclipse the $10 billion mark. The Cincinnati Bengals check in at No. 32 with a valuation of $5.25 billion.

More importantly, success on the field doesn’t appear to correlate with an increase in valuation. The Kansas City Chiefs ($6.2 billion), Baltimore Ravens ($6.1 billion) and Buffalo Bills ($5.95 billion) have been three of the best teams in the league for almost a decade, but still land in the bottom third of the league, according to Forbes.

As expansion into international markets continues, it stands to reason that those numbers will only grow over time. Here’s a look at the full list for 2025.
