NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman on Why Investors Are Racing to Buy Teams
NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman says team owners have invested billions of dollars to build the league, and the valuations show it: an expansion team sold for $5 million in 2021, and the league’s most recent expansion team went for $205 million. She explains why investors from Patrick and Brittany Mahomes to Bob Iger are buying in, why purpose-built stadiums and training facilities are central to the league’s strategy, how the WNBA’s media deal sets up the NWSL’s next one and why the 2031 Women’s World Cup in the US could change the sport.
