- Roshan

As of 2024, the most valuable NHL team is the Toronto Maple Leafs, with an estimated value of $2.8 billion. This valuation has pushed the Maple Leafs back to the top spot for the first time since 2014, surpassing the New York Rangers, who are now valued at $2.65 billion??.

The top five most valuable NHL teams in 2024 are:

  1. Toronto Maple Leafs – $2.8 billion
  2. New York Rangers – $2.65 billion
  3. Montreal Canadiens – $2.3 billion
  4. Los Angeles Kings – $2 billion
  5. Boston Bruins – $1.9 billion?
  6. Chicago Blackhawks – $1.875 billion
  7. Edmonton Oilers – $1.850 billion
  8. Philadelphia Flyers – $1.650 billion
  9. Washington Capital – $1.600 billion
  10. New York Islanders  $1.550 billion

These teams’ values are influenced by factors such as market size, team performance, revenue from ticket sales and merchandise, and lucrative sponsorship deals. The Maple Leafs’ value, for instance, is bolstered by their ownership of the Scotiabank Arena and the broader portfolio of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which also includes the Toronto Raptors (NBA) and Toronto FC (MLS)?.

WHICH TEAMS HAVE BEEN PROMOTED TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE FOR 2024/25

- Roshan

Southampton won the Championship playoffs final against Leeds United on Sunday to become the third and final team to win promotion to the Premier League next season. Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton are the three Championship sides that have been promoted for the 2024-25 Premier League season.

Leicester won the Championship title with 97 points to get back into the English top-flight after being relegated last season. Leicester City who unwantedly had to drop a division after an 18th-place PL finish in 2022-23, have bounced back immediately. At the start of the season, the Foxes’ sole objective was to clinch the second division title and gain automatic promotion to the PL. After 46 league games and 97 points on the league table, they did end up doing just that.

Ipswich Town too achieved promotion to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years after beating Huddersfield Town on the final day of the Championship regular season. Southampton finished the league stage fourth with 87 points but won the playoffs qualification. It beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 on aggregate in the semifinal. The Saints then beat Leeds 1-0 with an early goal scored by Adam Armstrong to seal their spot in the PL.

Three teams qualify for the Premier League every season:

  • The Championship league stage winner – Leicester City
  • The Championship league stage runner-up – Ipswich Town
  • The winner of the Championship playoffs final – Southampton
