Dallas Cowboys Make History as First Sports Team Valued Over $10 Billion

Dallas is buzzing with the news about the Dallas Cowboys, one of the most famous teams in NFL history. While they haven’t sniffed a Super Bowl win in nearly 30 years, their financial success continues to soar. A recent report has revealed that the Cowboys are now worth an astonishing $10.32 billion, making them the first professional sports team ever to break the $10 billion barrier.

This new valuation puts the Cowboys in a league of their own; no other NFL team is even close to this figure, as the second-most valuable team, the Los Angeles Rams, is worth $7.79 billion. The team’s owner, Jerry Jones, who purchased the Cowboys for just $140 million back in 1989, has seen an incredible return on his investment. In fact, there’s a real chance that the Cowboys value could be even higher than $10.32 billion. Jones once famously claimed he wouldn’t accept less than $10 billion for the team, a statement he made back in 2018.

Other teams are also making headlines for their growing values. The Rams, after moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles, now hold the second spot with a value that’s shot up from $1.45 billion. Similarly, the Raiders, who relocated from Oakland to Las Vegas, are now valued at $6.70 billion, a steep increase from their previous value of $2.9 billion just five years ago.

The report also highlighted that the NFC East is the most valuable division in the NFL, containing four teams in the top ten rankings. Below is a list of the ten most valuable NFL franchises:

1. Dallas Cowboys – $10.32 billion
2. Los Angeles Rams – $7.79 billion
3. New York Giants – $7.65 billion
4. New England Patriots – $7.31 billion
5. San Francisco 49ers – $6.86 billion
6. New York Jets – $6.80 billion
7. Miami Dolphins – $6.76 billion
8. Philadelphia Eagles – $6.75 billion
9. Las Vegas Raiders – $6.70 billion
10. Washington Commanders – $6.30 billion

As the NFL season progresses, it’s clear that the financial landscape of the league continues to shift, with the Cowboys firmly at the top.
