What is a WNBA Team Worth?
In the wake of recent reporting surrounding the sale of multiple WNBA teams, the Her Hoop Stats team estimates the potential value of franchises using financial analysis techniques.

Here at Her Hoop Stats, we can’t report on the price for either the Aces or the Dream, but we were curious if we could provide a reasonable range for it. As we’ll detail below, our estimate for the average value of a WNBA team is anywhere from $17 to $35 million, depending on the specific assumptions. The most valuable team could potentially be valued as high as $67 million under an optimistic scenario for the league, while the most affordable team could be valued as low as $11 million in a highly conservative scenario.

As we’ve written up and circulated our analysis, two main questions have been raised.
First, would someone really write a check for more than $17 million to purchase the average WNBA team?
Second, some have asked why a WNBA team would have a significant positive value when they are reportedly losing money?

As an aside, this thread is tailor-made for ClayK to respond and to provide his analysis of franchises, value, etc.

I just hope Kelly Loeffler doesn't read this article and suddenly demand a higher price for her franchise.
