The Denver Broncos are the 25th-most valuable sports team in the world and the 11th-most valuable NFL team, according to a 2020 estimate from Forbes. The franchise moved up one spot in the world ranking from last year (No. 26) but Denver kept its No. 11 ranking among NFL clubs.
Forbes estimates that the Broncos are worth $3 billion, a notable increase from their valuation of $2.65 billion in 2019. Denver is the most valuable team in the AFC West, above the Las Vegas Raiders ($2.9 billion), Los Angeles Chargers ($2.5 billion) and Kansas City Chiefs ($2.3 billion).
Forbes says the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.5 billion. MLB’s New York Yankees ($5 billion) and the NBA’s New York Knicks ($4.6 billion) are Nos. 2-3 on the list.
Late Broncos owner Pat Bowlen purchased the team for $78 million in 1984. Right now, the team is under the control of the Pat Bowlen Trust. Brittany Bowlen, one of Pat’s daughters, appears to be the frontrunner to become the next controlling owner.
