· Yahoo Sports
Team sports franchises around the globe have skyrocketed in value over the past several years, and the ceiling just keeps on getting lifted.

This week, the Seattle Seahawks were sold for $9.612 billion, an NFL record and the second-highest price paid for an American sports franchise (the Los Angeles Lakers were sold for $10 billion last year).
The Seahawks are the first NFL team to be sold since the Washington Commanders were purchased for $6.05 billion in 2023. Before that, the Denver Broncos went for $4.65 billion in 2022.
Prices are rising. In 2025, Forbes valued the Seahawks at $6.7 billion, which ranked them 14th out of the 32 NFL franchises. That was a 23 percent rise from their 2024 valuation of $5.59 billion.
The top-three valued NFL teams in 2025 were the Dallas Cowboys ($13 billion), the Los Angeles Rams ($10.5 billion), and the New York Giants ($10.1 billion).
The Giants' valuation has been growing exponentially over the past few years. In 2024, they were valued at an estimated $7.65 billion. They took a 38 percent jump in 2025 to $10.1 billion.
What would they be worth now, based on the Seahawks' recent sale?
The Seahawks went for approximately 30 percent more than last year's valuation by Forbes. If the Giants were valued at $10.1 billion, tack on another $3 billion, meaning they're worth $13.1 billion at the minimum.
The team has become practically unsellable. It would take a massive offer from a very minute pool of suitors to buy the Giants. There's little chance of that happening, anyhow.
Giants CEO John Mara, whose family owns 45 percent of the club, has vowed never to relinquish control of the franchise his grandfather founded over a century ago.
The Tisch family, who had owned 45 percent of the club, still holds that stake but in a trust for their heirs. Steve Tisch remains the Giants' chairman and has no intention of surrendering his position.
The final 10 percent was recently purchased by Julia Koch and family, a stake which was valued at over one billion dollars last year. The Koch interest is a non-voting one.
