Overview

  • The Warriors rank No. 1 for the fifth straight year and place second among global sports franchises behind the Dallas Cowboys at $12.8 billion.
  • Sportico pegs the average NBA team at $5.51 billion, up 20% year over year and 113% since 2022, with the Memphis Grizzlies at $4 billion as the new entry point.
  • Golden State’s ownership of Chase Center and the 11-acre Thrive City development is cited as a central driver of its valuation.
  • Sportico estimates the Warriors generated about $833 million in revenue last season, aided by premium game-day cash flows and a high-value Rakuten jersey-patch deal.
  • Recent sales of the Lakers, Celtics and Trail Blazers helped lift league averages, while new national media contracts are projected to raise per-team TV distributions from roughly $103 million to about $281 million by 2034–35.
