Tom Brady’s name now sits on the Las Vegas Raiders’ ownership table, and the guardrails around it are clear.
After a multi-layered approval process and a season of broadcast restrictions, the number associated with the former quarterback’s equity is public, his role is defined, and the Raiders’ control map remains unchanged. The next question is how a minority slice intersects with football operations on Monday nights.
What Percentage of the Raiders Does Tom Brady Own?
Brady owns 5% of the Raiders as part of a 10% minority stake acquired with business partner Tom Wagner. The deal cleared league ownership approval last fall, formalizing Brady’s entry into the club’s investment group while preserving governance under the team’s principal owner.
The ownership terms prompted league conflict-of-interest safeguards around Brady’s broadcast role. Initially, restrictions on in-person access to teams’ facilities and pre-game production meetings were in place, with later adjustments allowing virtual meeting participation while maintaining facility limits.
The stake is investment-only and confers no operational control; it places Brady on the cap table without altering the organization’s decision‑making structure or sideline authority.
Financially, minority shares are negotiated within broader franchise valuation ranges but often transact at discounts to whole‑club pricing. This factor drew close review from the league’s finance arm before approval.
How Many Owners, Including Brady, Do the Raiders Have?
Control in Las Vegas remains anchored with the Davis family, who collectively hold a controlling interest through approximately 47% of team shares. Brady and Wagner’s combined 10% adds two investors to the table without changing who steers the franchise.
The transaction made Brady a minority owner alongside existing partners and institutional holders, formalizing his position while the principal owner retains voting control and day‑to‑day authority.
The league’s approval and subsequent safeguards delineate clear lines: minority investors are subject to neutrality rules, particularly when they have broadcast platforms or competitive ties, and their equity does not grant them access to competitive intelligence or practice‑week environments.
Multiple reports also contrasted Brady’s 5% stake with other minority sales around the league to illustrate how percentage, valuation, and governance differ; the Raiders’ share structure continues to reflect control concentrated with the principal owner, supplemented by limited partners whose stakes do not impact coaching hires, roster decisions, or game‑week operations.

Ultimately, Brady’s presence in the ownership group is notable for its profile rather than its power. The percentage is precise, the role is bounded, and the Raiders’ control remains where it has long been, with the family that holds the voting majority and defines the football line of authority.
