Recently, Forbes released the 2021 sports team value rankings. Although in many people's opinion, the world sports industry should be sluggish after being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic last year, in fact, the average valuation of the 50 Most Valuable Teams on the this year's rankings is still 9.9% higher than last year to US$3.4 billion, compared with 55% higher than five years ago.
ranked first and still comes from the Dallas Cowboys from the Major League Baseball (NFL). As one of the most successful teams in NFL history, the Dallas Cowboys have the reputation of "Team of America". In Dallas, "Don't block the light of the team" has always been the guiding principle of the Cowboys brand. With the unique business acumen of boss Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys not only won the NFL league many times, but also continued to carry forward the team's unique culture. Now, the Dallas Cowboys have dominated the top spot in Forbes' most valuable sports teams of the year for five consecutive years. They now have a market value of US$5.7 billion, ranking first in the world.

It is worth mentioning that In addition to the Dallas Cowboys, There are 25 other NFL teams that have entered the top 50. As the sports league with the largest commercial value in the world, the NFL occupies half of the entire list , which shows how large the NFL is in the United States, the audience is so numerous and the influence is so wide. Even though the NBA's market value has increased by 5 times in recent years, it is still difficult to shake the NFL's dominance in the American sports world.
ranked second with Major League Baseball (MLB)'s New York Yankees, which topped the MLB League with a market value of $5.25 billion, which is $1.6 billion more than the Los Angeles Dodgers, the second largest in the league. The reason why the Yankees have such high market value today is not only because of their long-term outstanding performance in the MLB League, but also the operation of the Stanbrunner family. Today, the Yankees' brand in New York has gone global and is well-known worldwide. The Yankees' baseball cap has become a best-selling product in the world, bringing a lot of revenue to the group.

In addition, MLB has five other teams in this list, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and New York Mets.
Nine teams in the NBA have entered the list this year, and the New York Knicks are still the most valuable team in the NBA, reaching $5 billion. But the most surprising thing is that Golden State Warriors surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time and became the second most valuable team in the NBA. The Warriors have accumulated a lot of capital for the club with their outstanding performance in the past decade, especially the superstar effects like Curry and Thompson.
The veteran powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers are surpassed by the Golden State Warriors and their influence is no longer the same as before, but the team's foundation is still there. In addition, the two superstars James and Davis are in charge, the Lakers' future is still full of hope.
Among these 50 sports teams, there are as many as 41 local teams in the United States, and they are the three major leagues of NFL, MLB and NBA. However, no team has been on the list this year, the National Hockey League (NHL), one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States. The remaining 9 seats in
were won by the top five European league clubs. Barcelona surpassed Real Madrid and became the world's most valuable football club . Although Barcelona's performance in international arenas has been criticized in recent years, this has not stopped the value of Barcelona clubs from rising. In the second place is another traditional team from Spain, Real Madrid, whose total value has approached 5 billion.

Manchester United was the most valuable football club in the world ten years ago. With the retirement of meritorious coach Ferguson, Manchester United's record and status in the league and international arena were not as good as before, and was challenged by other giants. In this year's list, Manchester United has slipped to fourth place in football and has also fallen out of the top ten in the total list.
Although the market prices of various wealthy clubs in the five major leagues are still rising, under the impact of the epidemic, some problems behind them have gradually surfaced. The suspension of the league caused by the epidemic and the economic losses caused by various factors caused by the epidemic have led to serious economic crises in many clubs. They urgently need to recover their health to maintain the normal operation of the club, which was also one of the reasons why the European Super League was established at that time.
Overall, this year's list has basically no major changes compared with last year. The three major professional leagues in the United States still firmly occupy the top three in the rankings, and many giants in the five major European leagues followed closely behind . Most of the capital in the international sports world has basically poured into these four sports events. It is worth mentioning that new powerful forces that have gradually emerged in , such as the Warriors in the NBA and Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1, are launching impacts and challenges to traditional giants. We have reason to expect that one day in the future, the existing pattern distribution will be disrupted and a brand new pattern will be quietly established.
Planning method:
Team value (equity plus net liability) is based on the estimates of each sport in the past six months released by Forbes. The calculation method is calculated based on income and operating income (adjusted by income sharing), which includes the economic benefits of the stadium transactions of each team, but does not include the value of the stadium itself.
valuation information mainly comes from teams, sports bankers, media consultants, and public documents (such as venue rental agreements and bond documents).
