Top 10 Sports Franchises

Children and adults alike can benefit from the service of a sports franchise. Sports franchises run the gamut from swimming, baseball, football, basketball, martial arts, and any other sports you can think of. If you Google “sports franchise for sale,” you will notice a lot of youth sports franchises that are geared towards young athletes.

Here are the top sports franchises for week ending January 25, 2026. The IFPG uses its internal data collected from our portal to identify which sports franchises had the most activity in the past week. This ranking system is not based on franchise sales, franchisee success rates or number of units open. We use our ranking system to help identify new and upcoming franchise systems. This ranking system should not be used to make a decision on which franchise to buy, it was solely created for internal purposes and for our IFPG Members.
