Brittany Mahomes is a pioneering figure in women’s sports ownership as a co-founder of the Kansas City Current. Since bringing the team to Kansas City in 2020, she has worked tirelessly to elevate women’s soccer in the region.
In April 2026, the Kansas City Current is valued at an impressive $325 million, making it the second most valuable team in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). This valuation underscores the growing support for women’s sports, particularly soccer, which has struggled for recognition compared to its male counterparts.
Patrick Mahomes joined Brittany as part of the ownership group in 2022. His involvement marks a significant milestone—he became the first active NFL player to hold equity in an NWSL team. “When Angie Long, Chris Long and Brittany Mahomes brought this NWSL franchise to Kansas City, they were clear in their commitment to do it right—for the players and for the city,” reads a statement from the Kansas City Current website.
With Brittany at the helm, the Current has set ambitious goals. “The Kansas City Current has an unwavering commitment to become the best women’s football club in the world,” they affirm. This vision resonates deeply with local fans who have long awaited a professional women’s soccer presence.
Before founding the Current, Brittany was already familiar with Kansas City’s sports landscape, having lived there since 2017 with Patrick. The couple’s ties to local teams like Sporting KC and the Kansas City Royals have only strengthened their resolve to invest in their community.
As Brittany continues her work with the Current, Patrick remains focused on his own career. “I want to be ready for Week 1. The doctors said I could be, but I can’t predict what happens throughout the process,” he said recently regarding his training regimen. Yet, he also expressed concern about injuries—”Obviously something that you don’t want to have happen to really anybody, but obviously yourself.”
The impact of Brittany’s leadership extends beyond just soccer; it symbolizes a shift toward greater recognition of women’s contributions in sports ownership and management. As more women take on roles traditionally held by men, communities like Kansas City benefit from diverse perspectives and inclusive growth.
As we look ahead, Brittany Mahomes’ journey with the Kansas City Current inspires not just aspiring athletes but also future leaders in sports management. Her story is one of passion and commitment—a reminder that when women lead, communities thrive.
