Though every NFL franchise is now worth a record amount, the Arizona Cardinals carry the fourth-lowest value among the 32 sports juggernauts, according to a Forbes study.
Each team eclipsed $5 billion following the 2024 season, from the “lowliest” Cincinnati Bengals at $5.25 billion to the Dallas Cowboys worth $13 billion. The Cardinals came in 29th out of 32 with $5.5 billion in their pocket.
Forbes ranked the football teams in order of total value but measured three categories: one-year change in valuation, revenue and operating income.
Arizona’s net worth rose 28%, had $571 million in revenue and worked with a $62 million operating income. Its worth was $4.3 billion prior to the 2024 campaign and it still ranked 29th in the league.
A breakdown of the Cardinals’ valuation:

The Los Angeles Rams blew the Cardinals out of the water as the second-most valued NFL team at $10.5 billion. They experienced a 38% jump, had $764 million in revenue and operated with $244 million in the green. Not far behind in fifth was the San Francisco 49ers at $8.6 billion, which despite having a significantly lower operating income ($115 million), nearly matched the Rams in revenue by taking down $723 million.
