Patrick and Brittany Mahomes Make Big Moves Off the Field with KC Current Amid Chiefs’ Struggles<\/strong> While the Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> are working through a difficult offseason, with Patrick Mahomes<\/strong> recovering from a torn ACL and MCL injury sustained in Week 15 of the 2025 season, the Mahomes family is making significant strides in a different arena \u2014 the Kansas City Current<\/strong>. After the Chiefs finished with a disappointing 6-11 record<\/strong>, missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade, Mahomes is focused on his rehab but also looking forward to returning for the 2026 NFL season<\/strong>. Meanwhile, Brittany Mahomes<\/strong>, a former soccer player and co-owner of the KC Current, is leading the charge for the franchise alongside her husband, who joined as a co-owner in January 2023.<\/p>\n The KC Current<\/strong> had a groundbreaking 2025 season, setting multiple records in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL)<\/strong>. Not only did the team win the NWSL Shield<\/strong>, but they also finished the regular season as the top-ranked team in the league, dominating in multiple statistical categories. With 65 points<\/strong>, 21 wins<\/strong>, and 16 shutouts<\/strong>, the Current were undoubtedly the favorite to take home the NWSL Championship<\/strong>. Unfortunately, their postseason hopes were dashed when they were knocked out by Gotham FC<\/strong> in the quarterfinals, a stunning upset that shocked fans across the league.<\/p>\n Mahomes\u2019 Off-Field Involvement and the Rise of the KC Current<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite the early playoff exit, the KC Current<\/strong>\u2019s future remains incredibly bright, thanks in part to the Mahomes family’s deep involvement in the team. Since their entry into ownership, both Patrick and Brittany have helped elevate the club\u2019s visibility and success. With Brittany\u2019s experience in soccer, she brings a unique perspective to the ownership group. The Current<\/strong> have quickly become one of the NWSL\u2019s most valuable franchises<\/strong>, second only to the Portland Thorns<\/strong> in terms of valuation, reaching an impressive $275 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The team\u2019s success has also translated into revenue. The KC Current<\/strong> generated a league-high $36 million<\/strong> in revenue for 2024<\/strong>, showing the exponential growth the franchise has experienced in just a few years. This has been driven by several factors, including the opening of CPKC Stadium<\/strong>, the first premier sports venue built primarily for a women\u2019s sports team. The stadium\u2019s launch, celebrated on March 16, 2024<\/strong>, has solidified Kansas City as a destination for women\u2019s sports and provided a home for the Current that represents the team\u2019s growing status and success.<\/p>\n Blockbuster Trade: The Current Shake Things Up with Croix Bethune<\/strong><\/p>\n As the 2026 NWSL season<\/strong> approaches, the KC Current<\/strong> made headlines with a blockbuster trade that sent Claire Hutton<\/strong>, a talented midfielder and U.S. national team player, to Bay FC<\/strong> for an eye-popping $1.1 million<\/strong> in intra-league transfer funds. This deal shocked the fanbase, as Hutton had been a key player for the team, named to the NWSL Best XI First Team<\/strong>. Fans were understandably upset, with many taking to social media to express their dismay. One fan simply posted, \u201cNooooooooooo \ud83d\ude22,\u201d while another lamented, \u201cThis just pissed me off WHY \ud83d\ude2d.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the Current quickly reassured their fans with a strategic move: they replaced Hutton with Croix Bethune<\/strong>, a rising star in the league. The Washington Spirit received a historic return for Bethune, including a club-record $100,000<\/strong> in allocation funds<\/strong> and $900,000<\/strong> in transfer threshold funds<\/strong>, making it one of the most lucrative transfers in NWSL history. Bethune, who won the 2024 Midfielder of the Year<\/strong> and Rookie of the Year<\/strong> awards, is seen as a dynamic playmaker with immense potential. The Current\u2019s general manager, Ryan Dell<\/strong>, praised Bethune\u2019s creative and tactical abilities, calling her an \u201cexceptional playmaker with limitless potential.\u201d Her resilience and versatility on the field are exactly what the Current need to remain competitive as they chase the NWSL championship.<\/p>\n KC Current\u2019s Strategic Investment in the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n Even with the setback in the postseason, the KC Current<\/strong> are looking ahead with an ambitious plan for growth and success. In addition to the trade for Bethune, the team has made significant investments off the field. Chris and Angie Long<\/strong>, along with Brittany and Patrick Mahomes, announced a $52 million expansion<\/strong> of the team\u2019s facilities in Riverside, Missouri<\/strong>, which includes the construction of a 35,000-square-foot performance center<\/strong> and a new soccer pitch. This expansion, which broke ground in July 2024<\/strong>, will help elevate the team’s infrastructure, ensuring that they remain competitive on and off the pitch for years to come.<\/p>\n The Future of the KC Current and Brittany & Patrick Mahomes\u2019 Involvement<\/strong><\/p>\n As the KC Current<\/strong> continue to build momentum in the NWSL, Brittany and Patrick Mahomes remain committed to ensuring that the team not only performs at the highest level but also represents the community of Kansas City<\/strong>. Their ownership has provided the Current<\/strong> with the resources and visibility necessary to become a powerhouse in women\u2019s soccer. With new investments in facilities, strategic trades, and the leadership of the Mahomes family, the future of the KC Current<\/strong> looks incredibly promising.<\/p>\n While the Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong> will be focused on rebuilding their roster and navigating Mahomes\u2019 recovery, the Mahomes family\u2019s influence continues to shape the future of women\u2019s sports in Kansas City. The KC Current<\/strong>\u2019s upward trajectory in the NWSL has proven that Brittany and Patrick Mahomes are just as committed to success off the field as they are on it. As the team heads into the 2026 season<\/strong>, all eyes will be on the Current<\/strong>, as they aim to build on their remarkable success and take the next step toward an NWSL championship.<\/p>\n Emily Bicks<\/strong> covers the NFL<\/strong> for Heavy.com<\/strong>, focusing on the Buffalo Bills<\/strong>, Seattle Seahawks<\/strong>, and Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>.
