Euroleague and its Licensed Clubs Valued at Over €3.2 Billion
A recent report values the Euroleague at €1.41 billion for the 2025-2026 season. Extrapolating this trend, its EBITDA is estimated to reach €1.64 billion for the 2026-2027 season. These robust financial projections are supported by the league management's expectation of sustained annual revenue and EBITDA growth exceeding 10% (Compound Annual Growth Rate) from the 2022-2023 season through 2034-2035.
Concurrently, the analysis values all licensed Euroleague teams at a combined total of approximately €1.8 billion. Individual club valuations, calculated based on revenue multiples, range from over €60 million to more than €320 million, underscoring the increasing commercial strength and competitive standing of the participating organizations.
Looking ahead, the report highlights significant growth potential for the Euroleague ecosystem. The analysis suggests that the combined value of the league and its clubs could increase by up to 25% upon transitioning from the current 10-year licensing framework to permanent franchise structures. Further expansion in the number of franchises is anticipated to generate even greater long-term value, solidifying the league's position as one of the most dynamic and rapidly growing organizations in global professional sports.
Assuming successful execution of the business plan and the shift to a permanent franchise model, and applying consistent valuation multiples, the Euroleague and its licensed teams could potentially achieve a combined valuation of €4.3 billion by the 2026-2027 season.
