Tom Brady made a big move in his career path…if you can call it that, after leaving the NFL for the second time. Brady announced that he had acquired an ownership stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. The announcement was made by team owner Mark Davis and confirmed by multiple sources, including ESPN, CNN, CBS Sports and NFL.com.
The deal marks a major milestone for both Brady and the WNBA. It is the first time that a former NFL player has become an owner of a professional sports team in the United States. Brady joins other high-profile owners such as Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks), Michael Jordan (Charlotte Hornets) and Steve Ballmer (Los Angeles Clippers).
For Brady, this is a chance to expand his business portfolio beyond football and into basketball. He has already established himself as one of the most successful athletes in history with seven Super Bowl titles and four MVP awards. With this new venture, he will be able to use his influence to help grow the sport of women’s basketball at the professional level.

The Las Vegas Aces are coming off their best season in franchise history after winning the WNBA championship last year. They have also been one of the most successful teams over the past few years, making it to at least the semifinals every season since 2017. With Brady now part of their ownership group, they will look to continue their success on and off the court for years to come.
Brady’s acquisition of an ownership stake in the Aces is subject to approval by the WNBA Board of Governors but it is expected that it will be approved without any issues. This move shows that Brady is committed to helping grow women’s basketball at all levels and his presence should help bring more attention to the league as well as more fans and sponsorships for teams like Las Vegas Aces.
Tom Brady’s decision to invest in a WNBA team is yet another example of how he continues to make an impact on sports even after retiring from football earlier this year.
