From $275 million to $325 million: How Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ football club grew in one year

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes’ $325 million football investment (Getty Images) The Kansas City Current is now worth $325 million, according to Forbes’ 2026 NWSL valuation. That puts the club co-owned by Patrick and Brittany Mahomes second in the league, behind Angel City FC at $340 million. A year ago, Forbes had Current at $275 million, so the value has grown by about 18 percent in twelve months.

Kansas City Current valuation increased from $275 million to $325 million

The numbers are simple. Forbes valued Current at $275 million in 2025, raising it to $325 million this spring. Angel City is still in the lead, growing its lead from $5 million last year to $15 million. Kansas City is still close enough that first place isn’t out of reach, even if the gap has shifted in the wrong direction.The growth was not unique to Kansas City, nor was it the fastest. Forbes says the average NWSL team, excluding Denver and Boston in their debut seasons, is worth about $200 million, up 49 percent from last year. Angel City was up 21 percent. Bay FC, San Diego and Washington grew faster than the Current’s 18 percent, and the Spirit jumped 65 percent. Kansas City just started from a higher base, so each point of growth is worth more dollars.Stability partly explains this. The NWSL runs on a salary cap and has no relegation, so owners can plan years ahead instead of worrying about a bad season ruining the balance sheet. Investors pay for this kind of predictability, and each new expansion fee pushes the numbers higher.Sales support the price. The listing shows Current at about $38 million, on par with Angel City. Forbes says the club could emerge from operating losses as early as this year. Red ink is not uncommon in professional sports. Twelve of the 30 MLB teams and 16 of the 29 MLS teams reported negative operating income in 2025.

How the Mahomes Family Became KC Current Owners

Brittany Mahomes played professional soccer in Iceland, and that background explains why the couple’s name is on this club. She joined Angie and Chris Long in the ownership group, and Patrick joined in 2022, becoming one of the first active NFL players with a stake in an NWSL team. Football is not his only sideline. He also owns pieces of the Kansas City Royals, Sporting Kansas City and Alpine F1.The club kept its public message simple. His statement read: “When Angie Long, Chris Long and Brittany Mahomes brought this NWSL franchise to Kansas City, they were clear in their commitment to do it right, for the players and for the city.”The results on the field were less tidy when the list came out in April. Kansas City sat 14th under Armas, the first former MLS head coach to move to the NWSL, even after winning the 2025 Shield.Buyers don’t wait for turnover. Columbus will pay a $205 million expansion fee to join in 2028, while Denver paid $110 million in 2025. Against those numbers, $325 million for a club with a shield and a purpose-built stadium doesn’t seem like a stretch.
