Sports Team Valuations & Sales

Updated 09/08/2026

Control transaction: The latest completed sale or ownership change since 2000 that transferred decision-making control. Pending agreements are labeled separately and excluded from gain calculations and timeline points until league approval and closing.

Undisclosed: A sourced control change with no reliable public price.

Transaction value: Partial control deals use the reported or calculated 100% team value. Bundled multi-team or media transactions are shown but excluded from gain calculations.

Currency: All amounts are displayed in USD. EUR and GBP source figures use ECB reference rates from 09/08/2026 ↗.

Gain since sale: USD-normalized current estimate minus the comparable team transaction value, in nominal terms.

Bundesliga: Under the 50+1 rule, members generally retain voting control, so conventional post-2000 control sales are not shown.
