Patrick Mahomes One Step Closer to Bringing Another Sports Team to KC

Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has continued to make plays on and off the field in his NFL career. Over several years, Mahomes has been one of the best players in the NFL and is already a legend in Kansas City sports history.

Mahomes has helped the Chiefs become the gold standard of the NFL, winning three Super Bowls since 2019. However, the superstar signal-caller made it a purpose to extend his reach into the other sports teams in KC, co-owning the Kansas City Royals (MLB), Sporting KC (MLS), and the KC Current (NWSL).

With all that being said, Mahomes is now looking to get involved in the hoops scene and bring Kansas City a WNBA team.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the KC Current’s ownership, which includes the Chiefs superstar QB and his wife Brittany Mahomes, has met with the WNBA and is in the running to bring a franchise to the city.

If you are a Kansas City sports fan, this is exciting news, and seeing the Current’s ownership group leading the charge is a great sign.

The WNBA is coming off one of its most-viewed and popular seasons in recent memory. The league is set to add three expansion teams over the next two years, with the Golden State Valkyries scheduled to play in 2025.

In September, the Sports Business Journal reported that Kansas City was one of the cities and regions interested in buying the WNBA’s 16th franchise. 

With so much popularity surrounding the WNBA and the success of the Current, it will be interesting to see if the Mahomes and the rest of the ownership group can bring women’s basketball to KC.
