The English Premier League has retained its crown as the world's most valuable football league. In addition to sports news, the betting and financial analysis website Sportingpedia has published this information. The current total market value of this top league in England is 1.77 billion euros. The average value of each team in this 20-team league is 588 million euros.
Eleven football leagues have surpassed the €1 billion mark in total market value, Sportingpedia believes, as evidence that the global football economy is growing day by day.
The second most valuable football league is the Spanish La Liga. The market value of Spain's top league is 5.29 billion euros. That is, the market value of La Liga is less than half that of the Premier League. The third is Italy's top league Serie A. Their market value is 5.07 billion euros. The fourth is the German Bundesliga with a market value of 4.48 billion euros. The price of France's top league Ligue 1 is 3.52 billion euros. The price of the Premier League alone has exceeded 1 billion.
Sportingpedia has published this survey by evaluating all the criteria of market value. Among the leagues with a total market value exceeding 1 billion euros are the Brazilian Serie A, the United States' Major League Soccer (MLS) and the Saudi Pro League. Neymar recently returned to the Brazilian club Santos. He will play for the club in Serie A. Apart from this, there are stars like Memphis Depay and Hulk in the Brazilian Serie A.
In the MLS team Inter Miami, Lionel Messi plays alongside legends like Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets who have shaken Europe. There is no shortage of stars in the Saudi Pro League either. Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Al Nasr, where his teammate is Senegalese star Sadio Mane. Karim Benzema plays for Al Ittihad.
The most expensive league outside of Europe is Brazil's top league, Serie A. It is also the most expensive league among the countries affiliated with the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), with a value of 1.63 billion euros. The most expensive league among the countries affiliated with CONCACAF is MLS. Messi's league is worth 1.24 billion euros. The most expensive league among the countries affiliated with the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) is the Saudi Pro League—1.02 billion euros.
The average value of clubs in the Saudi Pro League is higher than that of clubs in the MLS. While the average value of clubs in the Pro League is 56.6 million euros, the average value of clubs in the MLS is 41.3 million euros. Outside of the top five leagues in Europe, the most valuable league on the continent is Portugal's Primeira Liga—worth 1.59 billion euros.
