9. Ligue 1
Profits for France’s football league, Ligue 1, average $2.4 billion per year. The league is known for its exciting matches and top tier talent, and, thanks to the money earned from superstars like Kylian Mbappé, Neymar and PSG in general, the league owns a lot of its financial power.
It is now solidly on its feet financially with most of its broadcasting rights, lucrative sponsorships and growing international fanbase making it one of the richest sports leagues in the world. Due to PSG’s huge dominance in terms of sponsorships and PSG itself being a huge team is why Ligue 1 will be among the richest sports leagues in the world.
