From $75M to $325M: How the Mahomes Family Built Kansas City's Most Valuable Sports Club

The Kansas City Current is now worth $325 million. Four years ago, that number was $75 million. That's not a hot streak — that's a fundamental shift in what women's professional soccer can be worth, and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are right at the center of it.

Brittany co-founded the Current in 2020, drawing on her background as a collegiate soccer player at UT Tyler. Patrick joined the ownership group later, turning what started as his wife's project into a joint venture. The way she framed it is telling: "He has been a huge supporter behind the scenes. His passion for the Current is undeniable." That's not a celebrity slapping their name on a jersey. That's two people who have actually watched the product develop.

The stadium changed everything

CPKC Stadium opened in March 2024 — nearly $120 million invested in a venue built specifically for women's professional soccer. No shared tenancy. No second-billing to a men's club. The Current owns their building, controls their matchday experience, and it shows in the revenue: $36 million annually, the best in the NWSL.

Now they're planning to expand capacity from 11,500 to 18,000 seats, with retail and infrastructure development alongside it. The club isn't just growing — it's becoming a commercial anchor for that part of Kansas City.

Patrick's broader sports portfolio includes a stake in the Kansas City Royals (since 2020), Sporting Kansas City (2021), and co-ownership of Alpine's Formula One team. Forbes put his off-field earnings at $30 million in 2026. That's a serious business operation, not a side hobby.

What this means beyond the headlines

For the NWSL, the Current's $325 million valuation raises the bar on what franchise ownership in women's soccer looks like. It makes the league more attractive to serious investors — not just celebrity backers looking for press coverage.

  • Kansas City Current valuation: $75M (2024) → $325M (2026)
  • CPKC Stadium investment: ~$120 million
  • Annual revenue: $36 million (NWSL-leading)
  • Planned stadium expansion: 11,500 → 18,000 seats

Mahomes has said he wants to stay involved in sports long after his NFL career ends. On current trajectory, he won't need football to stay relevant in Kansas City. The Current might end up being the most durable part of his legacy.
