Tough to place them in order of what most people think. But I think this would be the order of popularity outside of America :

1) NBA

2) MLB

3) NFL

Probably in that order of the sports most associated with the US too, altough not much between the MLB and NFL.

It has changed too, 15 years ago it would have been the NBA first daylight second. Both the NFL and MLB have really gained in popularity in that time.
