The most valuable soccer teams are dominated by clubs in the English Premier League, with six in the Top 10 and 11 in the Top 30. No US-based MLS team is higher than 17, and only one team from the French league is in the Top 30. But money isn’t necessarily everything, because Paris Saint-Germain, the fifth-most-valuable team, according to Forbes, just won the Champions League for the second year in a row last weekend.

A note about the most expensive team: Real Madrid had a record 2024–25 season, bringing in $1.27 billion in revenue. That figure not only beats every other soccer team but also surpasses the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys’ $1.23 billion in 2024 season revenue, which previously set the record for highest revenue from a sports team, per Forbes.

Private equity gets in on the pitch. There is a smattering of private equity dollars in the Top 10 clubs: Qatar Sports Investments (which is government-backed) owns Paris Saint-Germain, while Clearlake Capital has a majority share of Chelsea.
