POWER UP & FEEL THE SURGE.
THE FuTURE OF NBA & WNBA IS FAN-OWNED.
Introducing the Columbus Current — a bold new dual-franchise bid to bring the NBA and WNBA to Ohio.
FEEL THE SURGE.
Columbus is ready.
For the first time in NBA history, a team won’t just play for the fans — it will be owned by them.
This is the future of pro sports. And it starts right here, right now.
Why Columbus?
Fastest-growing city in the Midwest
Over 2.1 million people in the metro area
The largest U.S. city without an NBA or WNBA team
Home to top-tier companies like JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, and Intel
Fueled by culture, talent, and community
Dual Franchises. One Electric Identity.
We're building the first-ever fan-owned NBA and WNBA franchises under a shared banner.
Co-founded by David Hunegnaw & Letha Pugh
Backed by civic leaders, corporate partners, and you
Powered by equity crowdfunding — your stake, your voice, your team
