女性体育产业正经历前所未有的增长,预计今年收入将达到创纪录的23.5亿美元,同比增长25%。这一增长得益于投资的增加和球队估值的飙升。尽管与男性体育项目相比仍有差距,但女性体育正快速追赶,预计未来五年内将出现价值数十亿美元的女子体育俱乐部。行业领导者正通过创新举措,如家庭福利计划和全球品牌重塑,进一步推动女性体育的商业化和普及化,吸引更广泛的观众群体。

📈 **收入与估值双重增长**:根据德勤报告,女性体育产业预计今年收入将达到23.5亿美元,同比增长25%。这得益于球队估值的显著提升和投资的增加,例如美国女子足球大联盟(NWSL)的扩张费用已大幅上涨,这被比喻为“科技故事”般的增长模式。

🚀 **快速追赶与未来潜力**:尽管与男性体育项目相比,女性体育的收入占比仍较低(不足总收入的3%),但其增长速度非常迅猛。行业预测,未来五年内将出现价值数十亿美元的女子体育俱乐部,显示出巨大的市场潜力。

🤝 **推动行业发展的举措**:女性体育的领导者正积极采取措施促进进一步发展。例如,女子网球协会(WTA)推出了行业首个家庭福利计划,包括长达12个月的带薪产假,并进行了“Rally the World”的品牌重塑,旨在将女子网球打造成全球文化平台,增加商业收入并扩大全球粉丝基础。

🌐 **提升包容性与粉丝参与**:通过与粉丝近距离互动和开发观看比赛的应用程序等方式,体育俱乐部正努力提升包容性,吸引新一代观众。这种以粉丝为中心的策略有助于增强他们的归属感,并为女性体育带来新的活力。

Women’s sports revenue is expected to hit a record-breaking $2.35 billion this year—a whopping 25% year-over-year increase, according to a 2025 Deloitte report

That stat alone shows how rapidly the women’s sports industry is growing, but doesn’t show the entire picture of why. But Alexis Ohanian, founding control owner of Angel City FC and Los Angeles Golf Club, and creator of professional women’s track and field event series Athlos, said at the Fortune Global Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday said it’s due to the rise in team valuations investments.

Investments in women’s sports were historically “surpressed,” said Ohanian, who is also the cofounder and former CEO of Reddit. And although women’s sports are “a ways from [being] overheated,” we’re starting to see it “whipsaw back quickly,” with the rise in valuations and team revenues. 

Ohanian used the example of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), which charged $110 million for a group in Denver—a record-breaking expansion fee. That shows how expansion fees are going up more than 100x over the course of just a few years, he said. 

“That sounds like a tech story,” Ohanian said. “It’s a women’s sports story.”

Ohanian also predicted we’ll see billion-dollar women’s sports teams in the next five years. To put that in perspective, though, all NFL and NBA teams are valued at at least $5 billion, and the MLB has more than a dozen franchises worth more than $4 billion.

Women’s sports are growing—but not fast enough

While the stats and anecdotes showing women’s sports’ growth is “exponential,” they’re still a long way from getting overheated, Portia Archer, CEO of the Women’s Tennis Association, said at the Fortune Global Forum. 

While Deloitte’s report shows women’s sports is projected to have a record-breaking $2.35 billion in revenue this year, that’s not even 3% of the $80 billion total including men’s sports. 

“The projections going out five years from now will continue to increase,” she said. “But it’s not enough of the pie. It should definitely be bigger and more.”

But Archer, who was recently named one of the most powerful women in sports, is working to change that. She is locked in on the launch of an industry-first family benefits program, including up to 12 months of paid maternity leave for WTA players with support from the Saudi Public Investment Fund. She also oversaw a major WTA rebrand, “Rally the World,” aimed at redefining women’s tennis as a global cultural platform, increasing commercial revenue, and expanding fan audiences worldwide.

Meanwhile, Ben Harburg, principal of the Harburg Group and owner of Al Kholood Club and Cádiz Club de Futbol, said at the Fortune Global Forum there are more opportunities to make sports clubs worldwide feel more inclusive. 

“I sit with the fans physically in the stands,” he said. “I engage with them directly.”

That, along with the development of an app to watch games not accessible on TV, helps fans feel like the 12th player and to bring in “a whole new generation of people that were not loved and appreciated.”
