The NBA surpasses the MLB for the first time in history, with only the NFL generating more revenue

The NBA has surpassed Major League Baseball (MLB) in revenue for the first time in history. The basketball league projects $14.3 billion for this season, compared to $11.8 billion for the MLB, after generating $12.5 billion the previous year.

The 14% increase is largely driven by the new broadcast rights deal, valued at $76 billion over 11 years. This is complemented by approximately $4 billion from game-day revenues and $1.9 billion in sponsorships.

The NBA now ranks as the second-highest grossing sports league in the U.S., only behind the NFL, which reaches $23 billion. Below them are the MLB and NHL, the latter earning about $7 billion.
