America's most beloved team sport is the NFL. All of the NFL's 32 teams operate at a multibillion-dollar profit, thanks partly to the sport's grip on American interest.
We looked at Forbes' yearly evaluations of all 32 NFL clubs to find the most and least valuable organizations. Forbes evaluated each club's worth by considering its television contracts, attendance, merchandising, stadium, and other factors.
A typical NFL team has a value of $3.48 billion. Few are valued below that amount. One club continues to be by far the most valuable, with a value of $7.6 billion. In the NFL, no other team is thought to be valued at upwards of $6 billion.
Past achievements are among the traits shared by the most valuable organizations. Successful teams can attract more spectators and sell more items regularly.

Since the initial ranking in 2020, the Dallas Cowboys have occupied the top spot, while the Cincinnati Bengals have occupied the bottom spot.
It will still be easy for the Bengals' fans to recall their first championship game in 33 years. Despite the team's league-worst $2.84 billion valuation, this suggests that the long-term outlook is promising.
With Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, they have a dynamic and young quarterback-wide receiver combination. As a regular competitor, the franchise's worth will soar.
The Detroit Lions ($2.86 billion), Jacksonville Jaguars ($2.94 billion), Buffalo Bills ($2.99 billion), and Arizona Cardinals ($3.17 billion) are the other franchises at the bottom of the list.

The average worth of NFC franchises is around $500 million more than that of the AFC. Moreover, it has five of the top six most valued franchises, with the only AFC team at the top being the New England Patriots (#2) in the rankings.
Yet, considering the latest record sale of an NFL franchise (the Denver Broncos) occurring in the AFC, the terrain of NFL team valuations may soon change once more.
