Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is advocating for a WNBA expansion team in Kansas City. He believes the city's support for the NWSL's Kansas City Current shows it could successfully host a WNBA team. The WNBA plans to expand to 16 teams by 2028, with the Golden State Valkyries debuting in 2025. Other cities, including Toronto and Portland, are also set to join the league, but the 16th team remains undecided. Mahomes, who is part-owner of the Current, aims to leverage his sports investments to enhance Kansas City's sports scene. He emphasizes the importance of providing opportunities for young athletes, including his daughter.
