Forbes released its 2019 version of the 50 most valuable sports franchises in the world on Monday, and all 50 teams have a value of at least $2 billion. 

Six New York teams made the cut, with two of those teams (Yankees and Knicks) leading their respective sports. No NHL or MLS teams made the top 50, although the Rangers are the highest-ranking hockey team at 72 with a value of $1.55 billion. 

Here are the local rankings, which are based on Forbes' published valuations over the past 12 months:

2. New York Yankees ($4.6 billion)

5. New York Knicks ($4 billion)

T-10. New York Giants ($3.3 billion)

21. New York Jets ($2.85 billion)

37. Brooklyn Nets ($2.35 billion)

T-38. New York Mets ($2.3 billion)


The Mets rank 38th overall, tied with the Carolina Panthers and Houston Rockets, but they are the sixth-most valuable MLB franchise. They are the only NL East team to make the list and rank ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals, who have a $2.1 billion valuation. 

The Mets are still a far cry away from the Yankees, though, who lead MLB at $4.6 billion and are the second-most valuable franchise in the world.
