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.
