Forbes recently released their annual top 50 most valuable sports franchises in the world, and the Pittsburgh Steelers came in as the 28th-most valuable team, with an estimated worth of $5.3 billion. The Steelers, who have an operating income of $129 million, saw a 15% increase in profits in the last year.
Among NFL teams, the Steelers are the 17th-most valuable team. The Steelers are the most valuable team in the AFC North — ahead of the Cleveland Browns ($5.15 billion), Baltimore Ravens ($5 billion) and Cincinnati Bengals ($4.1 billion), who were last in the NFL. The Bengals, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions were the only NFL teams that didn’t crack the top 50.
The Dallas Cowboys one again were the most value team in professional sports at $10.1 billion. The Cowboys are the first sports team to cross the $10 billion threshold.
