Brittany Mahomes stepped into a different spotlight during Super Bowl weekend after landing a digital cover for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
The publication hosted a celebration in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX, where Mahomes appeared alongside Patrick Mahomes and fellow cover stars.
While the Kansas City Chiefs were not part of Sunday’s game, the Mahomes name still featured prominently across the Bay Area during the week’s events.
Mahomes is one of six women featured on the February 2026 digital issue, posing in a red bikini for the cover shoot.
“I just hope that by doing this, I can inspire women in life to still feel confident and to still work for themselves and take care of their bodies,” she said of the opportunity.
Super Bowl week setting
Sports Illustrated timed the digital cover celebration to coincide with the Super Bowl build-up, bringing together several high-profile partners and athletes’ families.
Mahomes attended the event as both a cover star and a familiar presence around the league’s biggest weekend.
Patrick kept a low profile at the gathering as he continues to recover from ACL surgery, but his appearance reinforced how closely the Mahomes brand remains tied to major NFL moments.
Although Kansas City did not reach the championship game, Brittany’s cover ensured she remained part of the week’s wider conversation.
Behind the scenes of the cover
Mahomes later shared footage from the Florida shoot, where strong winds and colder-than-expected temperatures shaped the day.
Between takes, she wrapped herself in coats and blankets while photographers and crew layered up nearby.
She moved between a red two-piece and a black one-piece during the beach session, completing the shoot despite the conditions.
The cover marks another appearance in the annual Swimsuit edition, a project she first joined in previous seasons.
However, modelling represents only part of her public profile.
Mahomes briefly played professional soccer in Iceland before retiring from the sport. In 2020, she became co-owner of the Kansas City Current and later helped bring CPKC Stadium to life, the first stadium built specifically for a women’s professional soccer team.
That ownership role has expanded her presence beyond NFL sidelines, placing her within broader conversations around women’s sport and business leadership.
