The Kansas City Chiefs are charging through their training camp at Missouri Western State University, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes leading the charge. Head coach Andy Reid couldn’t hide his excitement, noting, “It was good to see both sides of the ball making plays. There was great competition, and that’s how you improve—getting a little better every day.” But while Mahomes is dominating on the gridiron, he and his wife, Brittany, are making waves off the field with a jaw-dropping move that’s turning heads worldwide.
As co-owners of the NWSL’s Kansas City Current, the power couple has been rewriting the playbook for women’s sports. Partnering with owners Chris and Angie Long, the Mahomeses have turned the Current into a financial and competitive juggernaut. Their latest move? A record-shattering $600,000 trade to bring midfielder Ally Sentnor, the former No. 1 overall pick, to Kansas City from the Utah Royals. This blockbuster deal, announced with synchronized posts on the couple’s Instagram Stories, set a new NWSL intra-league transfer record, leaving fans and analysts stunned.
The Mahomeses’ vision for the Kansas City Current extends far beyond the pitch. Their investment in CPKC Stadium, the first premier sports venue built specifically for a women’s team, has redefined the game. Forbes reports that the Current raked in a league-leading $36 million in revenue in 2024, a staggering leap from just $3 million in 2021. Despite being in the fourth-smallest market, the team boasts the second-highest valuation in the NWSL at $275 million, trailing only Angel City FC ($280 million).
The Current’s success isn’t just financial. On the field, they’re unstoppable, sitting atop the NWSL standings with a seven-game winning streak. With Sentnor now in the lineup, the team is poised to dominate as they head into the playoff push. “Playing for Kansas City is an incredible opportunity,” Sentnor said. “I can’t wait to feel the energy, ambition, and heart of this club. Let’s get to work!”
The Mahomeses and the Longs aren’t stopping there. The Kansas City Current recently broke ground on a massive $52 million expansion project in Riverside, Missouri. This ambitious development includes Riverside Stadium, a 2,000-seat venue with a FIFA-certified, heated grass pitch, the state-of-the-art Performance Center, and a Pitch Expansion. Designed to attract world-class talent and potentially host a 2026 men’s World Cup base camp, this project underscores the Current’s relentless drive to lead the charge in women’s sports.
“We are thrilled to welcome Ally to Kansas City,” the Longs said in a statement. “From world-class facilities to a passionate fanbase, we’ve built something special here. Attracting game-changing players like her proves that the best want to play for this club.”
Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are no strangers to making headlines, but their bold moves with the Kansas City Current are nothing short of revolutionary. From shattering transfer records to building cutting-edge facilities, they’re proving that their influence extends far beyond the NFL. With the Current leading the NWSL and a new star like Sentnor in the fold, the world is watching as this dynamic duo reshapes the future of sports.
