MLS Teams Achieve High Valuations in Current Rankings

The latest global rankings of the most valuable soccer clubs reveal Real Madrid topping the list with a valuation of $6.7 billion, followed by Manchester United and Barcelona. Premier League teams dominate the top 25, securing 11 spots, and the league's 'big six' are all among the top 10 most valuable clubs. Major League Soccer (MLS) continues its rapid growth, with three U.S.-based teams—LAFC, LA Galaxy, and Inter Miami—now valued at $1 billion or more and featured in the top 25. Inter Miami's rise is attributed to star signings like Lionel Messi and an anticipated revenue boost from a new stadium, while LAFC leads MLS clubs in value. Despite lower matchday revenues compared to their European counterparts, MLS teams are gaining ground due to increased sponsorship, star power, and expanding fan interest. The overall trend underscores the Premier League's financial dominance but also highlights the growing influence and market value of North American soccer franchises.
