According to Sports Business website Sportico, the MLS’s top three most valuable franchises as of 2021 are Los Angeles FC, Atlanta United and LA Galaxy, valued at $860m, $845m and $835m respectively.

Yet Newcastle United were recently sold for $415m, and West Ham United are estimated to be worth $508m.

So how can the MLS be more valuable than the Premier League?
