The data
Source: Forbes annual NFL team valuations: 2017-2026 from each team's Forbes profile (10-year valuation history, via Internet Archive snapshots of forbes.com/teams/<team>/, Sep-Oct 2026); 2013-2016 from Wikipedia, 'Forbes list of the most valuable NFL teams' (historical valuations table). Retrieved November 4, 2026. Column = year of the Forbes list (published Aug-Sep; 2026 = Forbes' September 2026 list). The 2013-2016 values come from Wikipedia's table, rounded to the nearest $50-100M, so the 2017-2018 values (taken directly from Forbes team pages) are slightly more precise (e.g. 49ers $3.05B vs $3.1B). Top 13 teams of 2026 shown; the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals 2026 values could not be retrieved, so they are not ranked.
