The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly considering selling a 10% stake in the franchise, valued over $9 billion, which would result in a buy-in cost of $900 million. This valuation positions the 49ers as one of the most valuable NFL teams, just behind the Dallas Cowboys. Since taking over as principal owner in 2024, Jed York has overseen a substantial rise in the franchise's value, up from $6.8 billion. The motivations for selling a stake remain unknown, and discussions are ongoing with no guarantee of a sale.
It's unclear why York is aiming to sell 10 percent of the club, and it's unclear who he would sell it to.
The estimated $9 billion value would make the 49ers one of the most lucrative franchises in the world, eclipsed only by the Dallas Cowboys.
