The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (26,528) and Miami Dolphins (25,136) will also have to travel more than 25,000 miles this season, while the Jacksonville Jaguars will clock 24,902 miles, all because of their Florida location. And rounding out the top five, the Denver Broncos will travel 24,857 miles. Interestingly, the New York Giants will travel more than 20,000 miles, while the New York Jets’ mileage will come in at just 16,039 per season – despite both franchises playing their home games at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Which major league has the top traveling teams?

Comparing each of the major leagues and the distances covered by the different teams, it’s interesting to see that the NBA demands the most travel from players. Five of the top six teams feature in the NBA, while two more appear in the top 15. Meanwhile, six NHL franchises appear on our list, with four featuring in the top 10. Notably, the San Jose Sharks rank third. There are no NFL teams among the top 15 because of the regional structure, while there are two MLB teams – despite MLB teams playing more games in a season than those in the NBA and NHL (almost twice as many), they just don’t fly as far. With our favorite teams back in action, it’s interesting to consider how much overall travel time can impact player performance – and whether the final season standings will reflect this. In the meantime, check out all the latest for your team.

Methodology

To calculate the miles traveled by each team across the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and Premier League, as well as the average across each sport, each team’s upcoming or current seasons schedules were examined. Using the regular season games for each league, the mileage between each team’s city was calculated (as the crow flies) to reveal how far each team will travel over the season. Since each journey would require a return leg, each trip was multiplied by two.
