The Koch family has agreed to buy a 10 percent stake in the New York Giants, a league source said to The Athletic on Thursday.
NFL owners must approve the deal, and it’s unclear when that might take place. The Giants didn’t provide a comment when reached by The Athletic.
According to recent team valuations by CNBC, the Giants are the third-most valuable team at $10.5 billion, behind the Los Angeles Rams ($10.7 billion) and the Dallas Cowboys ($12.5 billion).
Bloomberg was the first to report the deal.
If the Koch family buys a minority stake with the team valued at around $10 billion, it would mark a record NFL team valuation during a sale, surpassing Josh Harris’ $6.05 billion acquisition of the Washington Commanders from Dan Snyder in 2023.
Julia Koch, the billionaire widow of businessman David Koch, and her family have an estimated net worth of $81.2 billion, according to Forbes. In 2024, the Koch family purchased a 15 percent stake in BSE Global, the parent company of the New York Liberty, Brooklyn Nets and the Barclays Center.
In February, the Mara and Tisch families, which own the Giants, announced that they had retained Moelis & Company to explore selling a minority, non-controlling stake in the team.
