• Sixth Street is set to acquire about 3% of the franchise, with billionaire Dean Metropoulos buying roughly 5%, according to multiple reports.
• The Kraft family will retain more than 90% ownership and control of the team.
• Proceeds will remain on the Patriots’ balance sheet for reinvestment, and the sale does not include the MLS New England Revolution.
• If finalized, the valuation would be the NFL’s second-highest this year, behind the New York Giants’ deal topping $10 billion.
• This would be Sixth Street’s first NFL stake under the league’s 2024 policy allowing vetted private-equity firms to hold small, non-voting interests.
