It was a tough 2020 season for the NFL as revenue reportedly dropped by 20 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even so, the value of the average NFL team is still up 14 percent, to $3.48 billion, which is the biggest gain in five years, according to reports. This gain is mostly due to the mega $112.6 billion media rights deal that the NFL signed with the networks in March.
According to the latest rankings released by Forbes, the national media rights payout to each of the league’s 32 teams is going to increase from $220 million in 2021 to $377 million in 2032.
