Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady has ended his tenure as a minority investor in Birmingham City Football Club, according to a statement released by the team on Monday, November 9, 2026. The announcement marks the conclusion of a three-year association between the seven-time Super Bowl champion and the English second-tier club.
Brady originally joined the club's ownership group in August 2023. His involvement was facilitated through a partnership with Knighthead Capital Management, an investment firm. During his time with the organization, he served as a minority investor and as the chairman of a new advisory board.
In its official statement, Birmingham City expressed gratitude for Brady's support and experience, noting the club intended to build upon the foundation established during his involvement. However, the organization did not provide a specific reason for his departure. The club also did not state what would happen to Brady's financial stake in the team following his exit.
The scale of this transition occurs as Birmingham City holds a leading position in their league. As of the announcement on November 9, 2026, the team sat at the top of the Championship standings based on goal difference, having earned 29 points across 15 matches.
Beyond Birmingham City, Brady maintains other sports investments, including minority stakes in the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders and the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. His exit from the English club serves as a notable change in his post-NFL business portfolio, which has focused on professional sports franchises.
