10 of the most valuable sports franchises in the world deal in billions and are known worldwide for one reason or another. Whether they’re the most popular or not is another matter.

Dallas Cowboys ($9.28B)

America’s Team isn’t exactly at the top of the ladder in the NFL hierarchy right now. But plenty of people still see them as one of the top sports franchises of all time.

Golden State Warriors ($8.28B)

It does feel as though the NBA sees teams rise and fall erratically sometimes. But when teams rise a lot of people take note.

New York Knicks ($7.43B)

Some of the sports franchises that have been around for a while have earned their spot. This is largely thanks to the old-school players and coaches that helped the team to stand out.

Los Angeles Lakers ($7.34B)

You can’t deny the dynasty that was created in LA. California has seen a lot of teams come and go in various sports, but this team is still unique.

New York Yankees ($7.13B)

You’re either a Yankees fan or you’re not. The middle ground isn’t as well-respected in the MLB as some think, especially when it comes to various teams.

New York Giants ($7.04B)

In a way, the Giants are an NFL team that deserves respect. But over the years, the level of respect they deserve has gone up and down.

Los Angeles Rams ($6.94B)

St. Louis definitely lost a great franchise, but LA gained another when the move was made. It’s a little surprising to find out how much this team is worth.

New England Patriots ($6.7B)

Wikipedia

It’s easy to think that this team should be further up on this list. In years past, it was without a doubt.

San Francisco 49ers ($6.15B)

Wikipedia

It doesn’t take much searching to find out why this franchise is so popular. The Kaepernick fiasco wasn’t enough to bring them down thankfully.

New York Jets ($6.11B)

Wikipedia

You’ve got to imagine that this is the only reason the Jets are still around. If not for being worth this much, their performance would have tanked them many times over in the recent past.
