Patrick Mahomes is looking to lead the Kansas City Chiefs back to the promised land, having already found success in his NFL career.
Mahomes, who’s led the Chiefs to five AFC titles and three Super Bowls, is preparing for his ninth season in the NFL.
As the Chiefs quarterback works through the offseason, he received bad news in terms of investments outside of the white lines.
While Mahomes is widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, he’s also built a massive business portfolio.
Mahomes previously spoke on his desire to bring and invest in a WNBA team in Kansas City.
On Monday, the league announced three expansion teams in the following cities: Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia.
Despite Kansas City having bid on an opportunity to bring a team to the city, Mahomes and the rest of the investment group that planned to work in the WNBA atmosphere were denied.
“Other cities that bid on teams that didn’t get them include St. Louis; Kansas City, Mo.; Austin, Texas; Nashville, Tenn.; Houston; Miami; Denver; and Charlotte, N.C,” posted Vanshay Murdock, a videographer and WNBA social media presence.
WELCOME TO THE W CLEVELAND, DETROIT & PHILLY 🤩🤩
🏀 Cleveland will begin play in 2028, Detroit in 2029 and Philadelphia the season after, assuming they get approval from the NBA and WNBA Board of Governors. Toronto and Portland will enter the league next year.

Patrick Mahomes previously spoke with ESPN, where he shared his desire to bring a WNBA team to Kansas City.
“It was cool that we were able to get this soccer team, this women’s soccer team here in the Current and they’re going into the playoffs now and you see the support that they have,” Mahomes said in October 2024. “So let’s try to get a WNBA team in here as well [with] that same ownership group. They’ve done the Current the right way, and I want to continue to work with them to take that next step and get a WNBA team here.”

Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, are already invested in the women’s sports community in Kansas City. They’re co-owners of the Kansas City Current, the city’s NWSL team.
They’re invested in the Current alongside Chris Long and Angie Long, the owners of Palmer Square Capital Management LLC.
