Race to the Billions: New Study Predicts Four Sports Teams Will Reach Billion-Dollar Revenues by 2030
- Sportbet.one projects NFL’s Dallas Cowboys to lead as the highest-earning sports franchise by 2030.
- F1’s Mercedes-AMG Petronas, is expected to reach $1.377 billion, claiming the second-highest spot in revenue and growing by 97% over the next six years.
- The Golden State Warriors, projected to reach $1.088 billion, rank highest in the NBA.
In a new report, Sportbet.one has projected which sports teams will hit the highest revenue marks by 2030, using historical financial data from top leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLS, NHL, and F1 (due to their races in Miami and Las Vegas) to predict future growth trends.
While the NFL, NBA, and MLB are deeply woven into American culture, newer leagues like the MLS and F1 are rapidly growing and becoming bigger players. Using data from all these leagues, Sportbet.one applied a linear forecast model to highlight the franchises set to have the highest revenue figures by the end of the decade.
Miami Dolphins Poised for Significant Growth
The Miami Dolphins, currently ranked 13th in revenue projections, are poised for a 29.4% revenue increase by 2030, rising from $646 million to $836.1 million.
While they may not reach the billion-dollar threshold by the end of the decade, their steady growth trajectory suggests they are on track to achieve their first billion-dollar year by 2035, with projected revenues of $1.014 billion
