It took them years of heartbreaks and near misses, but RCB have finally done it. Fresh off their first IPL title, the Bengaluru side now tops another chart – they’re officially the most valuable franchise in the league, worth $269 million in 2025.
A New Era for Bengaluru
According to the Houlihan Lokey IPL 2025 Brand Valuation Report, RCB’s brand worth has reached $269 million. This is the highest amount among all ten franchises. The figure marks an 18.5% surge compared to last year, making it the fastest-growing brand in the tournament.
This achievement crowns a dream season for Bengaluru. Their long-awaited maiden IPL title earlier this year transformed years of emotional fan loyalty into measurable commercial success. The team’s parade through MG Road drew half a million supporters. This is a snapshot of how deeply the squad connects with its audience.
Digital Growth and Strong Fan Economy
Experts note that RCB’s booming digital ecosystem has played a major role. With a global fan base across Asia, the Middle East, and the UK, the team has built one of the strongest online communities in world cricket. Their engagement numbers on Instagram and YouTube outperformed every other IPL side in 2025.
