Patrick Mahomes Leads Effort to Secure WNBA Team for Kansas City

The Chiefs quarterback sees the expansion as a natural step for the city's thriving sports community and a commitment to women's athletics.

Patrick Mahomes, alongside his wife Brittany and the Kansas City Current ownership group, is actively pursuing a WNBA expansion team for Kansas City.
The Mahomes are leveraging their existing sports investments, including stakes in the Kansas City Royals and Sporting KC, to support the WNBA bid.
