Kansas City has a love affair with its sports teams, and this season, the city is basking in the glow of the Chiefs’ impressive 8-0 record. Patrick Mahomes has continued to dazzle fans, guiding the team through a flawless first half of the NFL season. As the Chiefs prepare for their Week 10 showdown with the Denver Broncos, it would be easy for Kansas City’s spotlight to stay solely on its NFL heroes.
But Brittany Mahomes, wife of the Chiefs’ superstar quarterback and a driving force behind Kansas City’s professional women’s soccer scene, is shifting attention to another field. She’s calling on fans to rally around the Kansas City Current, the city’s rising women’s soccer team, as they gear up for a critical playoff clash against the North Carolina Courage.

The Kansas City Current may not command the same nationwide spotlight as the Chiefs, but for Brittany, their success and support matter just as much. She took to social media to issue a passionate plea to fans, rallying them with a simple yet powerful message: “Let’s gooooo KC!!! Show up Saturday and be loud!!!” With this energetic call, Brittany is hoping to inspire the same fervor that the Chiefs enjoy every week.
Her connection to the Current runs deep. Brittany was instrumental in establishing the team in 2020, joining forces with local entrepreneurs Annie and Chris Long to bring professional women’s soccer to Kansas City. Her vision was to foster an environment where women’s sports could thrive, and in 2023, her husband Patrick joined the mission, investing in the team as a co-owner.
The Mahomes duo sees the Current as more than just another team; they view it as an extension of Kansas City’s sports legacy. Patrick’s words from earlier this year still resonate: “I am thankful for the chance to join Brittany Mahomes as part of the KC Current ownership team,” he posted in 2023, expressing his pride in the team and their shared mission to elevate women’s soccer.
Brittany’s call to arms: Kansas City’s weekend of dual champions
The timing of Brittany’s rallying cry couldn’t be more crucial. The Current are headed into the NWSL quarterfinals, where they’ll face a formidable opponent in the Courage. With the stakes high, Brittany’s appeal to fans underscores her commitment to building a championship culture for the team she helped create.
On Saturday, Kansas City will have a chance to showcase its loyalty beyond the Chiefs. The city has already rallied behind the Current in previous matches, with fans showing up in record numbers, but this playoff game represents a new milestone-a chance to support a homegrown team as they chase postseason glory.
While Brittany is laser-focused on the Current’s playoff aspirations, Patrick has his own task on the horizon: maintaining the Chiefs’ unbeaten streak. The Chiefs, currently an 8-point favorite against the Broncos, are primed for another big game, and Patrick, as always, will look to deliver.
For Kansas City sports fans, this week is all about doubling down on support. As the Chiefs fight to preserve their unblemished record, the Current are on a parallel journey, working to bring Kansas City another championship run. And for Brittany, it’s all about uniting the city, urging them to cheer just as loudly for the Current as they do for the Chiefs.
The message from Brittany Mahomes rings clear: Kansas City isn’t just a football town-it’s a sports town, period. And with the Chiefs and the Current both making waves, there’s no shortage of reasons to cheer this weekend.
