KANSAS CITY, MO. — Brittany Mahomes continues to stack wins off the field. On Thursday, United WE officially named the Kansas City Current co-owner the inaugural recipient of the Champion for Change Award. The honor drops right as she continues to completely rewrite the playbook for women’s sports ownership in America. When the news hit Instagram, Patrick Mahomes’ mother, Randi, immediately hopped on her stories to blast out a simple, proud message: “Love this!! Congratulations.”
Building an Empire at CPKC Stadium
The Mahomes family name carries heavy weight in Kansas City. While Patrick grinds through an intense ACL rehab aiming for a Week 1 return in the 2026 NFL season, Brittany is busy commanding a different arena. United WE didn’t just hand her a trophy for showing up. They recognized her aggressive push to elevate female athletes into an economic powerhouse. She spearheaded the construction of CPKC Stadium—the very first stadium on Earth built specifically for a women’s professional team.
The KC Current backed up her investment on the pitch. They tore through the league to win the NWSL Shield, finishing the regular season ranked No. 1 overall and shattering league records along the way. You can almost feel the electric energy radiating from the Mahomes camp right now. Just a few weeks ago, critics wondered how the family would bounce back from a frustrating, injury-riddled Chiefs season. But watching Randi publicly cheer on Brittany—two women who form the absolute bedrock of Patrick’s support system—reminds fans that this family operates as an unbreakable unit.
“Brittany has helped elevate women’s sports as both a cultural force and a growing economic engine — including through investment in the first stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional team.”

Playoff Implications / What’s Next
The hardware gets handed out on May 6, 2026, right on her home turf at CPKC Stadium. It acts as a massive victory lap for a woman who recently graced the digital cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition and entered the UT Tyler Athletics Hall of Fame. For the Chiefs Kingdom, this serves as a bright spot in an otherwise grueling offseason. Patrick is currently fighting his way back from the brutal 2025 injury that derailed Kansas City’s playoff hopes. But seeing his wife secure this massive regional and national honor proves the Mahomes family still knows how to dominate a headline and a city.
