Patrick Mahomes has spent years becoming one of Kansas City’s biggest sports icons, but he believes his wife, Brittany Mahomes, is creating a different kind of legacy. Her connection to soccer has helped fuel the rise of the Kansas City Current and brought unprecedented attention to women’s sports in the city. Now, Mahomes is openly celebrating the role she played in turning a childhood passion into something with a much wider impact.
Patrick Mahomes highlights Brittany Mahomes’ impact on Kansas City women’s sports
Brittany Mahomes’ journey with the Kansas City Current began with a personal connection to soccer. She had played the sport herself and understood the challenges women athletes could face when trying to build professional careers.Rather than simply watching the sport develop from the sidelines, Brittany became involved as a founding co-owner of the Current alongside the Long family. Her involvement came at a crucial moment for professional women’s soccer in Kansas City, and the club has since grown into one of the most prominent teams in the National Women’s Soccer League.Patrick has seen that transformation up close. Speaking about Brittany’s role on Sidekicks Conversation, he made it clear that her influence was far greater than a ceremonial ownership title.“She was a driving force,” Patrick Mahomes said in a recent episode of Sidekicks Conversation. He further added, “I think the most fun for me personally was Brittany when she played soccer, and she wanted to play soccer in Kansas City.”“She was a driving force, along with the Long family, in bringing the Kansas City Current back to Kansas City,” Patrick Mahomes said. “She started investing in these women and now they’re one, if not the best team in the NWSL… Usually, you invest in good people, and good things happen.”That praise offers a glimpse into why the project means so much to the Mahomes family. Brittany was not simply backing a sports franchise. She was helping create an environment where female athletes could receive serious investment, attention and facilities.
Brittany Mahomes and CPKC Stadium raise the standard
The Current’s rise has also produced a landmark development for women’s soccer. CPKC Stadium was built specifically for a women’s professional sports team, giving the club a home designed around its own needs rather than requiring it to share a venue built for another sport.That distinction matters. A dedicated stadium sends a powerful message about the value of women’s athletics. It also gives Kansas City a physical symbol of how far the sport has come.For Brittany, the story is especially meaningful because soccer was part of her life long before she became known as Patrick Mahomes’ wife. Her work with the Current allowed that early passion to evolve into an opportunity to influence the professional game.Patrick, meanwhile, has continued to use his platform to recognize her achievements. His comments suggest that he sees Brittany’s work as a major part of the Mahomes family’s connection to Kansas City.Their impact now extends beyond football. Patrick remains one of the NFL’s most recognizable quarterbacks, while Brittany has helped push women’s soccer into a bigger place within the city’s sports culture.For young girls watching the Current, the message may be just as important as the wins. Women’s sports can have ambitious owners, major facilities and passionate supporters. Brittany Mahomes’ story shows what can happen when someone is willing to invest in that possibility rather than simply wait for it to arrive.
