DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "National Basketball Association (NBA) 2022 Finals - Post Event Analysis" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

An analysis of the recent 2022 NBA Finals, including a look at its Sponsorship Portfolio, Broadcasters, Prize Money, Player Profile & Sponsorship, Attendance and Ticketing.

As expected, all 6 games in the series were sold out at the Chase Center in San Francisco and TD Garden in Boston. In total 93,596 spectators attended the 6 games and saw the Golden State Warriors win the series to overcome the Boston Celtics and become NBA Champions. In the United States, an average audience of 12.4 million viewers on ABC tuned in to watch the six-game series.

Through Ticketmaster the average price of a ticket for spectators for one of the six games in the best-of-seven series that the two finalists played was $2959.

ABC viewership did see a 22% rise year-over-year, averaging 12.4 million viewers. Despite this increase in viewership, the NBA would have been hoping for even higher audiences for the 6-game series especially in the United States, as the league is hoping to attract as many broadcasters as possible for the next round of America television rights deals after the 2024-25 season.

The NBA's current sponsorship deals generate annual incomes ranging from $157 million a year from 2K to $100,000 a year from Titanomachy. The total estimated annual value from the sponsors of the 2021-2022 NBA was $974.05 million.

Champions the Golden State Warriors won $3.8 million of the total prize pool. Team members of the Golden State Warriors took home $270,000, which is $120,000 more than the members of the Los Angeles Rams who were victorious at Super Bowl LVI.
