Most Valuable Football League: A List

Football these days is all about the revenue that comes in through various outlets of the sport. TV rights is one of the key reasons why the influx of money has risen to new heights over the years, hence we see such exorbitant transfer fees for players and now even managers. With keeping these factors in mind, let us take a look at the most valuable football leagues right now.

5. Ligue 1 (3.71 Bn)

The French national league or Ligue 1 is more or less dominated by one single team, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The star studded Parisien team is not just about football but its about making a statement with their signing of big names like Neymar, Mbappe and now, the greatest player of all time, Lionel Messi.

With this dream team, PSG have dominated this league for years now. Another big part that ligue 1 plays is the production of young players. Teams like Olympique Lyonnais, Marseille, As Monaco and Nice are known for having excellent academy players who go on to play for bigger clubs in bigger leagues.

4. Bundesliga (4.6 Bn)

The German Football League or the Bundesliga is a league that produces attractive attacking football. Bayern Munich have won 10 straight league titles. Bayern are ahead than the rest in all aspects especially income with the salary of Bayern players reaching an exorbitant amount. With the 10 titles they are the royalty of German football.

Teams like RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mochengladbach are still trying to compete in the league bur Bayern Munich's sheer dominance is visible for the past decade or so.

3. Serie A (4.79 Bn)

The Italian top flight used to be dominated by Juventus until last year when Inter Milan won the league their first league title since 2010. Serie A came under the spotlight in recent years when Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus from Real Madrid. Ronaldo brought a massive increase in viewership and revenue being one of the greatest players ever.

This season Serie A has become extremely competitive with three teams fighting for the league title. As we all know, a competitive league is always good for everyone (fans, viewers, league authority).

2. La Liga (5.01 Bn)

Two of the biggest clubs in the world, Real Madrid and Barcelona play in this league. The El Classico is considered to be the biggest football match each season especially when Ronaldo and Messi used to play for Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively.

With the departure of Ronaldo to Juventus and eventually the shocking departure of Messi to PSG has lowered the stocks of La Liga last few seasons. But the rise of clubs like Atletico Madrid and Sevilla also increased the competitiveness of the league, with each fanbase increasing world wide. And the ever increasing fanbase of Real Madrid and Barcelona has aided the revenue of the league since forever.

1. Premier League (8.66 Bn)

Some people call the Premier League, the best league in the world due to the sheer entertainment it provides. The league has produced different winners almost every season for the past few years. The unpredictable outcomes of upsets that happens on each match day is pure form of entertainment.

Plus England has the highest share of TV rights revenue. The relegated side in EPL gets almost triple the amount of money that the winners of La Liga or Bundesliga get. The sole reason is the TV deal money. We see the smaller clubs having a massive transfer budget and wage bill that attracts top players from all over the world.

As commentator Jim Beglin once said "There isn't a match day in England that doesn't produce drama and emotions.".
