By Walt Hickey Soccer The average Major League Soccer team in the United States is worth $582 million, which is up 5.8 percent year over year. The total market value of the 28 franchises in the league is $16.3 billion, and this year they’ll make a projected $1.6 billion in revenue, well above the recent low of $468 million of 2020. A bunch of that money is in Los Angeles — the L.A. Galaxy is worth $865 million and LAFC is worth $900 million — with other big metros including Atlanta ($855 million for the United) and Seattle ($725 million for the Sounders). One issue for the league is that lots of big cities like New York, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and Boston aren’t really pulling their weight, and are all among the 12 least valuable teams in a world where those major metros can anchor lots of very popular teams.
