It’s Gotham FC’s world and we’re all just living in it. The 2026 National Women’s Super League (NWSL) is almost at its conclusion, and Gotham are looking to reign supreme. Gotham FC are two wins away from their third league title in four yearsGettyOnly the Kansas City Current stand in the way of the star-studded soccer team from reaching the 2026 NWSL Championship game.If they were to emerge victorious on Sunday and then again the following week, an argument could be made that they have established themselves as a modern-day dynasty as it would mark their third league title in four seasons. But Sam Kerr, Jaedyn Shaw, Rose Lavelle and co have already gotten their hands on silverware this season when they claimed the 2026 Challenge Cup in June – in a 2-0 win over the Current. They then won their first ever NWSL Shield – given to the team that finishes at the top of the table after the regular season. And with four former Chelsea stars on the roster with Guro Reiten, Jess Carter, and Ann Katrin-Berger, as well as Kerr, all having played during now-USWNT head coach Emma Hayes‘ trophy-laden tenure in the Barclays Women’s Super League, they have more championship-winning experience in the team than ever before. With qualification for the inaugural FIFA Women’s Club World Cup in 2028 already secured, they are now going for the clean sweep of trophies this season in their bid to achieve an NWSL-first treble. But history isn’t on their side. In 12 NWSL seasons, the Shield winner has gone on to also win the NWSL Championship on just three occasions: the North Carolina Courage in 2018 and 2019, and the Orlando Pride in 2024. Gone are the days when Gotham would finish last in the league standings, and with so much elite firepower flooding to play for the Big Apple outfit, a plethora of investment has followed. Gotham receive $100 million in investmentAs of November 2026, the New York-based team have now become the most valuable women’s soccer franchise in the world with a $350 million valuation, according to Forbes. Carolyn Tisch Blodgett welcomed an additional $100 million in capital for GothamGettyGotham are bidding for an NWSL-first treble having already won the Challenge Cup and NWSL Shield this seasonGettyThis comes after the franchise added seven new minority investors in a $100 million capital raise, ahead of the team’s 2028 move into New York’s Etihad Park in Queens, which is currently under construction.“When we became owners of Gotham FC three years ago, we saw an opportunity to build something truly special – not just a successful soccer club, but a franchise that could help redefine what’s possible in women’s sports,” Majority owner and Governor Carolyn Tisch Blodgett said in a statement.“We’ve made extraordinary progress in a short period of time, but in many ways, we’re just getting started. We want to build a club that competes with the best in the world, attracts top talent, and creates a passionate fan base. “We’re incredibly excited to welcome this exceptional group of investors who share our vision and bring valuable expertise, relationships, and perspectives that will help us take Gotham to the next level. “Together, we’re investing in the people, infrastructure, and experiences needed to build something that will thrive for generations to come.”Per Fortune, almost every new minority investor has never entered the sports market before, and the group is comprised of families or individuals, and not institutions. Tisch Blodgett has turned the franchise around since her arrival in 2023 as majority ownerGettyThey join other well-known minority investors, which include NBA superstar Kevin Durant, WNBA legend Sue Bird, and former NFL quarterback Eli Manning. Tisch Blodgett – the CEO and founder of venture capital and private equity firm Next 3– also reportedly added substantial contributions in this latest capital raise. “This was a unique bet on Gotham, versus these are sports investors looking for another sports investment,” Tisch Blodgett said. The funds will be used to accelerate growth via “continued investment in players, infrastructure and fan experiences, building on its success on and off the field to set a new standard for excellence in women’s sports.”Tisch Blodgett is the granddaughter of the late Bob Tisch, who co-founded the Loews Corporation and bought a 50 percent ownership stake in the New York Giants in 1991. The shares in the Giants have since been passed down the Tisch family following his passing in 2005, with Tisch Blodgett serving as a strategic advisor to the G-Men. Tisch Blodgett (L) also has a stake in NFL powerhouse New York GiantsGettyGotham, though, has been transformed under Tisch Blodgett’s ownership since she and her family bought into the team in 2023 – 17 years after it was initially founded. Her investment in the team coincided with the season that Gotham won their first title. Although women’s soccer franchises do not have as high of a valuation as women’s basketball, with 2026 WNBA Champions Golden State Valkyries boasting a $1 billion valuation, soccer serves as a strong alternative for those looking to invest in professional sport.Tisch Blodgett added, “This is where people see growth in sports.”Sign up for talkSPORT Stateside, the YouTube channel dedicated to passionate US Sports fans.
