Bears QB Caleb Williams invests in NWSL's Boston Legacy

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is the latest investor in National Women's Soccer League expansion club Boston Legacy FC.

"Women's sports is a movement, and I admire and respect the work that the team and the NWSL continues to do to grow the sport and empower future generations of athletes," Williams said in a statement released Thursday.

"Boston Legacy Football Club is building something special, and we're proud to be a part of what's next."

Williams and his investment firm 888 Midas joined a group of investors that includes actress Elizabeth Banks, three-time Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Aly Raisman, Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston and Boston Celtics general manager Brad Stevens.

Jennifer Epstein is the soccer club's controlling owner and co-founder.

"Caleb's investment in Boston Legacy Football Club highlights the powerful momentum of women's professional soccer and what it means to have professional athletes investing in our future," Epstein said in a statement.

"It symbolizes a new era of cross-league support and recognition. With best-in-class athletes, a rapidly growing fan base, and undeniable energy around the NWSL, we are proud to welcome Caleb as a partner as we prepare for the 2026 inaugural season."

Williams, 23, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft after winning the 2022 Heisman Trophy at Southern California.

Through four games this season, the second-year signal-caller has thrown for 927 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions.

Coming off a bye week, the Bears (2-2) will visit the Washington Commanders (3-2) on Monday night.
