In recent months, the WNBA has been abuzz with discussions surrounding potential expansion, and notable sports figures like Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, are closely watching the developments. As the league aims to grow its footprint, the impact of emerging stars like Caitlin Clark cannot be overlooked.

Clark, known for her electrifying style of play and incredible skills on the court, is not only captivating fans but also redefining what it means to be a leader in women’s basketball. Her performances have sparked increased interest in the WNBA, creating a ripple effect that could pave the way for new franchises and opportunities for aspiring players.

Mahomes, a football superstar, and Brittany, a passionate advocate for women’s sports, have been vocal about their support for women’s athletics. They recognize that the ongoing revolution led by athletes like Clark could elevate the WNBA to new heights, making it an exciting time for both fans and potential new teams.

As expansion talks heat up, the Mahomes couple’s engagement with the WNBA signifies a broader recognition of women’s sports, highlighting the importance of supporting and celebrating these incredible athletes. With Caitlin Clark leading the charge, the future of the WNBA looks promising, and it’s a moment that both fans and stakeholders will be watching closely.

Patrick Mahomes has been full of praise for Caitlin Clark as rumors swirl that he and wife Brittany could start their own WNBA team.

The couple are being tipped as potential investors in a new expansion that could be coming to Kansas City. The WNBA is already set to expand by one next year with the addition of the Golden State Valkyries as its 13th team.

According to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, three-time Super Bowl MVP Mahomes and his spouse are already in talks with the league regarding the move. And the Chiefs quarterback already has a relationship with Indiana Fever talisman Clark as he looks to immerse himself further into the world of women’s basketball.

“I mean, [she’s] just a tremendous player, tremendous person every time I’ve met with her and talked,” he said of the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year ahead of the Super Bowl earlier this year (via the Irish Star). “You can tell she loves the game.

“She loves playing at Iowa, and she’s gonna be one of the best women’s, one of the best college basketball players to ever play. And then go to the WNBA and dominate there as well. Hopefully I’ll never have to play her one on one, because she’ll for sure be getting buckets on me.”

Clark, 22, has been a driving force in attracting a surge of new fans to the WNBA since she joined earlier this year. Alongside former college rival Angel Reese, they played pivotal roles in what turned out to be a ground-breaking season for women’s basketball, setting new records for attendance and viewership as interest soared.
