Arctos to Acquire 10% Stake in the Atlanta Falcons

Arctos Capital has agreed to purchase a 10 % ownership interest in the Atlanta Falcons. Two unnamed sources said the transaction will be executed in two tranches over the next 18 months, valuing the deal at an enterprise value of $10.6 billion. The NFL is slated to vote on the sale in October, pending league approval.

Arthur Blank, co-founder of Home Depot, currently holds just under 73 % of the franchise, which he bought in 2002 for $545 million. In CNBC’s 2025 NFL valuation report, the Falcons were listed at $8 billion, ranking 11th in the league. Arctos already owns stakes in four NFL teams—the Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, and now the Falcons—making this its fourth football investment.
