The 49ers remain one of the most valuable franchises in the NFL.
San Francisco ranked fifth amongst the 10 most valuable franchises in the league at $8.6 billion, per Sportico’s latest valuations (h/t 49ers Webzone).
Above the 49ers, in order, are: The Dallas Cowboys ($12.8 billion), the Los Angeles Rams ($10.43 billion), the New York Giants ($10.25 billion) and the New England Patriots ($8.76 billion).
The rest of the top-10 teams are:
No. 6 Eagles – $8.43 billion
No. 7 Dolphins – $8.25 billion
No. 8 Jets – $8.11 billion
No. 9 Raiders – $7.98 billion
No. 10 Commanders – $7.47 billion
San Francisco’s valuation represents a 25 percent increase from last year, after the 49ers led the NFL in ticket sales for the third consecutive season, per Sportico, and generated $176 million — $40 million more than the Cowboys, who ranked second with $136 million.
Among the top-10 franchises, San Francisco had the third-highest one-year value change, only behind the Rams and Patriots, who each saw a 34 percent growth from the year prior.
A major change in the NFL this past year was allowing teams to have institutional investors and the sale of minority ownership stakes. This was the case for the 49ers, as a group of investors purchased a 6.2 percent stake in early 2025 at an $8.6 billion valuation.
The 49ers now hope their fortunes can lead to success as their Quest for Six continues in 2025.
