Global investment firm Sixth Street has backed Bay Collective, a multi-club women's football ownership platform, as private capital flows into women's sport at scale. The NWSL franchise's value rose from $2 million in 2021 to over $200 million in 2026, while McKinsey research found women's sports revenue grew 4.5 times faster than men's between 2022 and 2024. Bay Collective currently owns Bay FC in San Francisco and acquired a majority stake in Sunderland AFC Women in June 2026.
