In the wake of a tough loss to the Buffalo Bills, Patrick Mahomes found himself at a rare loss for words — not because of football, but because of his wife’s remarkable off-field triumph.
As the Kansas City Chiefs regroup during their bye week, Brittany Mahomes has taken center stage with a groundbreaking announcement that’s sending ripples through the sports world. The former soccer star and co-owner of the Kansas City Current has officially joined the NWSL’s new star-studded Advisory Board, a visionary group that will help shape the future of women’s soccer.
The National Women’s Soccer League revealed the formation of the board on November 6, bringing together some of the biggest names in sports and culture — including Eli Manning, Magic Johnson, Sue Bird, Chris Paul, and Lindsey Vonn. Their mission: elevate the league’s marketing, branding, fan engagement, and player initiatives beginning in 2026.
Commissioner Jessica Berman called it a defining moment for women’s sports, noting that the group will act as “mentors and cultural connectors” to expand the league’s global reach.
Patrick Mahomes’ reaction? Pure pride. The Chiefs superstar shared Brittany’s announcement on Instagram — no caption, no words, just a quiet celebration of a monumental milestone. Sometimes, silence says everything.
The timing of Brittany’s rise couldn’t be more poetic. Her team, the Kansas City Current, is entering the postseason as the No. 1 seed after a record-shattering year — the fastest to clinch the NWSL Shield, first to win 20 league matches, and highest-scoring team in league history with 62 points.
It’s been a storybook season not just for the team, but for the Mahomes family, who have invested deeply in Kansas City’s growth — on and off the field. With the opening of CPKC Stadium, the first venue built specifically for a women’s sports franchise, the Currents have become a symbol of what belief, vision, and leadership can achieve.
Four years after its debut, the KC Current now boasts a valuation of $275 million, ranking second in the league despite being based in one of the smallest markets. Forbes reports they also lead the NWSL in annual revenue with $36 million, proof that Brittany’s business instincts are just as sharp as her athletic background.
The Long family, alongside Brittany and Patrick, continues to push boundaries, announcing a $52 million expansion project this summer — including a 35,000-square-foot performance center and a massive pitch upgrade in Riverside, Missouri.
Through it all, Patrick has been Brittany’s biggest supporter. Whether he’s leading huddles on the field or cheering from the stands, his admiration for her success has never wavered.
And while the Chiefs quarterback focuses on getting his team back to dominance, Brittany’s fearless step forward in shaping women’s sports reminds everyone that the Mahomes family isn’t just about touchdowns — it’s about transformation.
This isn’t just a career milestone for Brittany Mahomes. It’s a movement — one built on passion, purpose, and partnership. And as Patrick’s quiet pride made clear: sometimes, love doesn’t need a speech to be loud.
