The Philadelphia Eagles jumped two spots into the upper crust of NFL royalty, landing at No. 6 on Sportico’s list of most valuable franchises. The Birds valuation is now at a cool $8.43 billion, rising 25% from last year.

Sure, the official line is that it’s all about “enterprise value” and “real estate holdings,” but I’m sure when you have a fanbase that will pay $18.50 for a Miller Lite, drop $200 on a Kelly Green jersey without blinking, and show up to Lincoln Financial Field regardless of whether the wind chill is -5 or the team is 5–12, that definitely helps too, right?

The Billionaire Scoreboard

Here’s where the Birds stand compared to the rest of the NFL’s one-percenters:

Cowboys – $12.8B
Rams – $10.43B
Giants – $10.25B
Patriots – $8.76B
49ers – $8.6B
Eagles – $8.43B
Dolphins – $8.25B
Jets – $8.11B

For reference, the average NFL franchise is now worth $7 billion, double what it was just four years ago. Since 2020, the Eagles have jumped Washington, Chicago, and the Jets.

Private Equity Is Coming for Your Team

Jeffrey Lurie has already sold off a piece of the Eagles to a private equity group. Dolphins owner Stephen Ross did the same. The 49ers are next.

If franchise prices keep skyrocketing, we might end up with an English Premier League situation, where Russian oligarchs and oil sheiks are running teams because they’re the only ones who can afford them.

The Birds are richer than ever, the NFL is still king, and the only bubble bursting around here is in your bank account after buying a $7.50 bottle of Aquafina to prevent yourself from dying of thirst after you waited 40 minutes in a concession line.
