Shocking CNBC NHL Team Valuations Reveal Unexpected Winners and Losers in 2025 Rankings
The Canadiens hold on to the third spot in the annual rankings, with a value of $3.4 billion. The team in October announced the signing of a new local media rights deal with Bell Media for both English- and French-language channels. It will pay the team a league-leading annual average of $70 million to $75 million beginning next season.
The Edmonton Oilers leapfrogged the Boston Bruins to become the fifth-most-valuable team, and are now worth $3.1 billion. The Oilers have hockey’s biggest superstar in Connor McDavid and were in the Stanley Cup Final the past two seasons. Not only did the Oilers post a record year across all revenue verticals, including sponsorships, premium seating, food and beverage, and merchandise during the 2024-25 season, they began a new local television deal with Rogers this season that could pay the team well over $50 million annually, depending on advertising revenue.
