Eagles rank sixth in Sportico's NFL franchise valuations, but were below average in annual increase
Beyond the NFL, only six teams on the entire planet are worth more than the Birds, according to Sportico.
To some, the Eagles are priceless. But according to Sportico’s latest NFL franchise valuations, the team is worth about $10.31 billion.
Sportico’s report placed the Eagles at No. 6 in the league for the second year in a row. Globally, they rank seventh overall — only the Golden State Warriors moved ahead of them.
Despite a 22% increase in value over last year, the Birds came in below the leaguewide average of a 31% year-over-year increase. Last year, the Birds saw a 25% increase in value year over year, with Sportico valuing them at $8.43 billion. That came after Jeffrey Lurie sold minority stakes in the team in December 2024 that valued it at $8.3 million. He bought the team for $185 million in 1994.
The leaguewide increase contributed to the NFL’s most valuable season yet, with the league’s 32 teams collectively worth $299 billion for the 2025 season. This marks the biggest single-year value gain for the NFL since Sportico began its valuations in 2020. According to the report, the average team’s value has increased 141% over the past five years.

Sportico’s calculations factor in everything from revenue and merchandise sales to real estate owned by the franchises. The NFL also showed off its financial prowess compared with other sports leagues, with each of the 32 teams ranking among the top 38 most valuable sports franchises in the world — even the Cincinnati Bengals, who were ranked No. 32 for the seventh straight year, only saw six non-NFL teams above them.
At the top of the list once again are the Dallas Cowboys at $15.5 billion. The Los Angeles Rams ($12.7 billion), New York Giants ($12 billion), New England Patriots ($10.4 billion) and New York Jets ($10.35 billion) round out the top five. The Jets, who climbed three spots, were the only NFL team to leapfrog the Eagles, but the Birds remained at No. 6 with the San Francisco 49ers falling three spots.
The Eagles are grinding their way through the second week of training camp. Some parts of the team have looked good, others remain very much a work in progress. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Jeff Neiburg assess quarterback Jalen Hurts’ play, how some of his targets are faring, and why, regardless of how the offense is coming together, the defense could be elite enough to help the Eagles contend for another title.
