The NFL is on the verge of allowing private equity firms to purchase up to 10% of a team, addressing liquidity issues for owners facing soaring valuations.
The league's new rules would make the NFL the last major sports league to permit private equity minority ownership, albeit in a more limited capacity than others.
Only a select group of private equity firms will be eligible to invest, including notable names like Blackstone and CVC Capital Partners, focusing on sports investments.
This move aims to attract new minority owners amidst increasing team valuations, as seen with the Washington Commanders selling for a record $6.05 billion.
