Patrick Mahomes Supports Kansas City WNBA Team

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is actively pursuing the establishment of a WNBA team in Kansas City, joining forces with the ownership group of the NWSL's Kansas City Current. Mahomes believes the city's strong sports culture and recent successes, particularly in women's sports, make it a prime candidate for a WNBA franchise. The league is undergoing significant expansion, with the Golden State Valkyries set to join in 2025, followed by teams in Portland and Toronto in 2026, and a potential 16th team by 2028. Mahomes, who already holds ownership stakes in multiple Kansas City sports teams, sees this venture as an opportunity to further enrich the local sports landscape. Fans have expressed excitement on social media about the prospect of a WNBA team enhancing Kansas City's vibrant sports culture. The push for expansion reflects the growing popularity of the WNBA, particularly with recent record viewership numbers and emerging star players.
