The WNBA has big plans for expansion in the coming years, as it’s already set to grow the league to 13 teams in 2025 and 15 teams by 2026. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has already stated her desire to add a 16th franchise to the mix by 2027 or 2028, too.<\/p>\n

It seems\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u00a0quarterback Patrick Mahomes is trying to get involved in the expansion process as well.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday that Mahomes and his wife Brittany\u2014who are part of the Kansas City Current NWSL team’s ownership group\u2014have met with the WNBA in hopes of bringing the next franchise to Kansas City.<\/p>\n
