Overview

• Sixth Street is set to acquire roughly 3% and billionaire Dean Metropoulos about 5%, according to multiple reports.
• The Kraft family will keep more than 90% ownership, with sale proceeds staying on the Patriots’ balance sheet for reinvestment.
• This would be Sixth Street’s first NFL stake under the league’s 2024 policy permitting passive private-equity investments.
• The transaction covers only the NFL franchise and not the Krafts’ MLS club, the New England Revolution.
• The valuation would rank among the NFL’s highest, trailing the Koch family’s reported 10% purchase of the Giants at more than $10 billion.
