By 2026, the franchise had an estimated value of approximately $1.5 billion, making it 3rd in the ranking of MLB team valuations. The Rockies are emerging out of a challenging 2025 year that saw the franchise record 119 losses, but steady attendance at Coors Field and extensive real estate allow the overall value of the club.
Financial snapshot, valuation, and media landscape
The Rockies’ valuation has mostly been stunned after the year 2023 due to losses in its operations and the mystery about local media rights. As of the year 2011, the estimated range of the franchise is $1.4-1.6 billion. Annual revenue is pegged at between $318 million and $328 million, but the club reported an operating loss of approximately $22 million in the 2025 cycle, and this trend has continued, resulting in a negative income.The projected amount of the payroll in Colorado is 2026 $110 to $115 million, which is in the 22nd position in the MLB. This financial constraint aligns with a broader trend in media strategy following the team’s failure to operate a regional sports network. With a new MLB and ESPN deal, however, games in the Rockies are now created by MLB and distributed through MLB.
Real estate assets, ownership, and leadership direction
A sizeable fraction of the Rockies’ valuation is pegged on real estate, especially on Coors Field and its neighbouring McGregor Square development. The McGregor Square was opened in 2021 at a price of $365 million and consists of the Rally Hotel, luxury condominiums, and office space with an estimated net operating income of $18 million annually. The team also enjoys a good 99-year lease of the premises.The Rockies, which are owned by Dick and Charles Monfort, who bought the franchise in 1992 at a price of $95 million, are in the process of renewing management when they employed Paul DePodesta as the President of Baseball Operations, and one of the primary figures of the team.
