Forbes, 2025-26 season
NBA team revenue and profit
What each team took in and kept last season, according to the Forbes estimates published in October 2026, and what its value is as a multiple of that revenue.
Revenue and profit, team by team
Each bar is a team's revenue; the orange part is what was left as operating income. The Atlanta Hawks kept the most of each dollar (43%), the Cleveland Cavaliers the least (9%).
What a dollar of revenue is worth
Each dot is a team: its revenue across, its Forbes value up. The lines show values of 10, 15 and 20 times revenue. The Los Angeles Lakers are valued at 20 times their revenue, the Portland Trail Blazers at 10.4 times.
