Inter Miami has officially become the most valuable club in the history of Major League Soccer (MLS) with a valuation of approximately $1.45 billion, as reported for the start of the 2026 season. This recent valuation indicates a significant increase of 22% compared to the previous year, allowing the club to overtake Los Angeles FC, which had been the leading franchise for the past four years.

Los Angeles FC currently stands at a valuation of $1.4 billion, reflecting a more modest increase of 9% from the year prior. This shift not only highlights the financial dynamics within the league but also represents the growing interest and investment in soccer in the United States, especially with the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup expected to enhance the profile of the sport further.

Additionally, among the top five clubs in the league, only Inter Miami and New York City FC have risen significantly in value due to upcoming stadium projects. The other clubs that broke the billion-dollar valuation barrier include LA Galaxy, Atlanta United, and New York City FC, demonstrating a competitive and thriving soccer market in the U.S., indicating a promising future for soccer in the region.
