Clark, who was the 2024 Rookie of the Year with the Indiana Fever, was fully on board with the idea of Travis Kelce’s Chiefs teammate, Patrick Mahomes, bringing a WNBA team to Kansas City. Mahomes and his wife Brittany are already active in supporting women’s sports as part of the ownership group of the NWSL team in Kansas City, the KC Current.

In a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, hosted by NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, WNBA star Caitlin Clark expressed her excitement about the potential for a Kansas City franchise.

Basketball star Caitlin Clark is bullish on Kansas City. The WNBA will be expanding to 15 teams by 2026 with franchises coming to Toronto, Portland and Golden State. League commissioner Cathy Engelbert wants a 16th team by 2028, and Kansas City has stated its desire to have a WNBA franchise to play at the T-Mobile Center.
