Peyton Manning has joined the ownership group for Denver's upcoming professional women's soccer team, announced on June 3, 2025. Manning, who led the Broncos to a Super Bowl victory in 2015, aims to support the growth of women's sports and foster community engagement. The ownership group includes Rob Cohen and Mellody Hobson, who is also part of the Denver Broncos ownership. The new club plans to debut in the 2026 NWSL season, contributing to the expansion of women's professional soccer. Recently, the ownership secured $70 million to purchase and prepare land for a soccer-specific stadium and entertainment district.

The move is expected to enhance local interest and participation in women's soccer.
