Tom Brady Ownership in the NFL and XFL
Tom Brady is a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, a National Football League franchise, and a co-owner of the Birmingham Stallions in the United Football League, a merger of the XFL and USFL. His involvement in the Raiders dates to a 2024 minority stake purchase, while his Stallions ownership helped the team win the 2024 UFL championship. The Raiders are valued at roughly 7 billion dollars by Forbes, and the Stallions are among the most successful teams in the combined league. Brady continues to focus on football operations and brand partnerships tied to these franchises, as noted by the Raiders official ownership page and Forbes coverage of the XFL merger.
Brady also holds a minority stake in a group pursuing an NHL expansion team in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Golden Knights, though his direct operational role is limited compared to his football investments. The Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup in 2023 and are valued at over 700 million dollars by Forbes. Brady's sports portfolio is part of a broader athlete-led investment strategy that includes equity in multiple leagues and teams across North America.
WNBA and Professional Soccer Ownership
Las Vegas Aces and Angel City FC
Tom Brady is a minority owner of the Las Vegas Aces, a WNBA franchise that won the 2023 championship, and Angel City FC, a National Women's Soccer League team based in Los Angeles. The Aces are valued at over 50 million dollars, while Angel City FC was sold for a reported 250 million dollars in 2024, making it one of the most valuable women's sports teams. Brady's involvement in Angel City FC aligns with his focus on high-growth women's leagues, and the club competes in the NWSL with a strong brand and celebrity ownership group.
Brady's sports investments extend to other leagues through venture funds and advisory roles, though the Aces and Angel City FC represent his most visible equity positions. The WNBA and NWSL are both experiencing rapid revenue growth, media deals, and sponsorship interest, which increases the value of stakes held by high-profile athletes. His portfolio reflects a strategy of backing teams in cities with strong growth potential and in leagues with expanding global audiences.
Investment Vehicles and Business Structure
KB20 Ventures and Limited Partnerships
Tom Brady's sports holdings are managed through KB20 Ventures and various limited partnerships, a structure common among athlete investors for liability protection and tax efficiency. These entities hold minority equity in the Raiders, Stallions, Aces, and Angel City FC, and Brady uses them to co-invest alongside institutional capital and other celebrity owners. The SEC filings for related entities show standard operating agreements and capital calls rather than direct control of team operations.
Brady's approach to sports ownership focuses on minority stakes that allow him to remain active in branding and media while limiting operational risk. He has stated that his investments prioritize leagues and teams with long-term growth, strong fan engagement, and innovative business models. This strategy mirrors his post-NFL career focus on health, wellness, and media businesses, with sports serving as a complement to his broader portfolio.
