Getty images continue to capture the powerful presence of Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, as the couple thrives through yet another demanding NFL offseason while balancing athletic recovery, business responsibilities, and their growing influence across multiple professional sports landscapes.
After suffering a significant ACL and MCL tear in Week 15, the veteran quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs has pushed himself into a rigorous rehabilitation schedule designed to accelerate recovery while maintaining the elite conditioning expected of a multi-time NFL champion preparing for another high-stakes campaign.
Head coach Andy Reid emphasized the intensity of Mahomes’ daily effort, noting that the star quarterback remains inside the training facility for nearly seven hours each day, working relentlessly to rebuild strength, stabilize movement, and restore the mobility necessary for top-tier quarterback play.
Reid highlighted that Mahomes is “cranking away” with visible progress, collaborating closely with assistant trainer and physical therapist Julie Frymyer, whose reputation within the franchise has grown due to her expertise in guiding elite athletes through difficult late-season and postseason recovery timelines.
Alongside his medical rehabilitation, Mahomes continues to expand his influence off the field as both he and Brittany invest substantial time and leadership effort into the NWSL club they co-own, the Kansas City Current, a franchise rapidly evolving into one of the league’s most ambitious and professionally run organizations.
During a landmark moment in March 2024, Mahomes and Brittany joined fellow co-owner Chris Long to celebrate the opening of CPKC Stadium, the first purpose-built stadium for a women’s professional soccer team in the world, signaling an investment vision that extends far beyond traditional sports boundaries.
Following a historic but heartbreaking conclusion to the Current’s extraordinary 2025 season, the organization made decisive structural changes by hiring new head coach Chris Armas and executing two major roster-shaping acquisitions designed to reassert the club’s championship identity heading into the next NWSL cycle.
On February 23, the sports world received another major update when ESPN announced a new project centered on the Kansas City Current, cementing the club’s position as one of the most visible and culturally impactful franchises in the rapidly expanding women’s soccer landscape.
The team, alongside the Washington Spirit and Angel City FC, will headline ESPN’s new original docuseries titled NWSL: The Final Third, giving fans unprecedented access to off-field decision-making, locker-room pressure, inter-club rivalries, and the strategic evolution of modern women’s soccer.
ESPN confirmed that the three-episode series—produced by Words + Pictures, Omaha Productions, and the ESPN network—will debut on the ESPN app on February 25, followed by a national television airing on ESPN2 beginning March 2, before streaming on Disney+ through March 31.
According to the network, the series delivers “an intimate look at intense rivalries, unforgettable personalities, and the competitive pressure defining a league undergoing rapid transformation,” signaling that women’s soccer is entering a new era of mainstream visibility and commercial growth.
The Current earned this spotlight by breaking multiple league records during their campaign, including the fastest run to an NWSL Shield, the most points in a season with 65, and dominant statistical achievements such as 21 wins, 16 shutouts, and 15 multi-goal victories.
Despite entering the postseason as the top seed and the overwhelming favorite to capture the NWSL championship, Kansas City’s run ended abruptly in a stunning quarterfinal upset by Gotham FC, a matchup that instantly became one of the league’s most talked-about playoff shocks.
This upcoming documentary marks the franchise’s second major streaming feature following Amazon Prime’s 2024 series For the Win: NWSL, a project that helped introduce the team to international audiences and showcased the cultural momentum behind women’s sports in the Midwest.
While 2025 did not produce a championship trophy, optimism in Kansas City remains exceptionally high as the organization continues to elevate its standards, expand its infrastructure, and establish itself as one of the premier destinations for elite women’s soccer talent across North America.
In just four years, the franchise has transformed from an expansion club into the second-most valuable team in the NWSL, holding a valuation of approximately $275 million despite playing in one of the league’s smallest markets, reflecting remarkable operational and branding efficiency.
Forbes reported that after opening CPKC Stadium—the first high-end sports venue designed specifically for a women’s professional team—the Current recorded a league-leading $36 million in revenue during the 2024 season, underscoring their accelerating commercial trajectory.
Co-owners Chris and Angie Long have further reinforced their long-term commitment by announcing a $52 million expansion plan for the team’s Riverside, Missouri facilities, including the construction of Riverside Stadium, a 35,000-square-foot performance center, and additional training pitches.
Groundbreaking began in July, marking a pivotal step toward creating one of the most advanced women’s soccer complexes in the world—a facility expected to elevate player development, attract elite international talent, and redefine the training standards across the NWSL.
Through all of these initiatives, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes have become synonymous with Kansas City’s sports renaissance, championing both football excellence and the rapid rise of women’s soccer as they continue shaping the city’s evolving athletic identity.
Sports journalist Emily Bicks of Heavy.com, known for her NFL coverage focusing on the Bills, Seahawks, and Chiefs, documented these developments while noting her experience interviewing iconic athletes such as Jerry Rice, Shaquille O’Neal, and Stefon Diggs over her career since 2019.
