Beyond the gridiron, Mahomes and his wife Brittany are co-owners of the Kansas City Current, the NWSL club undergoing major personnel changes this offseason. The Currents’ ownership group also includes Chris and Angie Long, and the team has quickly risen in value despite KC’s smaller market size.
Last season, the Current dominated statistically—leading in points, wins, and shutouts—and entered the playoffs as a favorite to win the championship before falling in the quarterfinals to Gotham FC. The season featured several high-profile roster moves aimed at pushing the team deeper into title contention.
The club’s front office reshaped the roster by trading head coach Claire Hutton to Bay FC and adding midfielder Croix Bethune from the Washington Spirit, in a deal that included significant allocation and transfer funds. Shortly before the home opener, the Current also acquired forward Penelope Hocking in a late-season move.
In key recent news, the Current rallied to beat Utah Royals FC 2-1, with Croix Bethune making a pivotal debut goal and Bethune contributing as a top addition in the squad’s bid to rebound from postseason heartbreak. The victory underscored the impact of the off-season personnel changes.
Ahead of the 2026 season, Mahomes publicly supported the Current on social media, including reposting content showcasing teal-themed celebrations at Crown Center. The Chiefs’ organization also acknowledged the Current with a season-opening message, highlighting the shared celebration of Kansas City sports success.
Temwa Chawinga, the two-time reigning NWSL MVP, remained a focal point for the Current’s plans, though she was unavailable for the opener due to a hip injury. The coaching staff emphasized careful rehabilitation and gradual reintegration into training as the season progresses.
