right|thumb|CPKC Stadium in 2024 In October 2021, the club unveiled plans to construct the first purpose-built stadium built exclusively for women's professional soccer. The stadium was built in Kansas City, Missouri, at the Richard L. Berkley Riverfront Park with a capacity of 11,500 and estimated cost of $117 million. The project was proposed to be entirely privately financed through the ownership group, with the team signing a 50-year lease for the site at which the stadium will be located.<ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.kcwoso.com/news/kansas-city-nwsl-and-port-kc-finalize-plans-for-first-nwsl-p |title=Kansas City NWSL and Port KC Finalize Plans for First NWSL Purpose-Built Stadium at Kansas City Riverfront |website=kcwoso.com |date=October 26, 2021 |access-date=October 26, 2021 |language=en |archive-date=October 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211026113823/https://www.kcwoso.com/news/kansas-city-nwsl-and-port-kc-finalize-plans-for-first-nwsl-p |url-status=dead }}</ref> The costs increased from $70 millions to an estimated $117 million in May 2022, which the club's owners attributed to construction costs and a redesign increasing the stadium's capacity from 11,000 to 11,500.

In June 2025, the team competed in The Soccer Tournament or TST in Cary, N.C., at WakeMed Soccer Park. The TST roster included 7 active college players along with 3 recently graduated collegiate players.<ref>{{Cite press release|url=https://www.kansascitycurrent.com/news/kansas-city-current-ii-set-to-compete-at-the-soccer-tourname|title=Kansas City Current II Set to Compete at The Soccer Tournament - Kansas City Current|publisher=Kansas City Current|date=June 4, 2025}}</ref> Two other NWSL teams fielded TST squads with Angel City 7's and North Carolina Courage who call WakeMed Soccer Park home.

Their lone win came, 6-3, against Wrexham Red Dragons owned by Rob McElhenney (Rob Mac) and Ryan Reynolds.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tst7v7.com/groups/group-wb/|title=Women's Group B Schedule}}</ref>
In July 2025, the Kansas City Current formally established Kansas City Current II with a full launch - the first NWSL team to fully form a second team. As a full-time, fully funded partner to the first team, the goal is to bridge youth and college players to top-tier soccer. Vasil Ristov will serve as the first coach of the full Kansas City Current II. In conjunction with the announcement, ground was broken for "Riverside Stadium", a new 2,000 seat stadium in Riverside, MO, along a Performance Center to include additional locker rooms, expansion of the Current's grass and turf practice fields and training facilities to serve the new year-round club. All three facilities, bring the Current’s total investment in player facilities in Riverside to $52 million.<ref>{{Cite press release|date=August 4, 2025|url=https://www.kansascitycurrent.com/news/kansas-city-current-fully-launches-second-team-kansas-city-c|title=Kansas City Current Fully Launches Second Team, Kansas City Current II - Kansas City Current|publisher=Kansas City Current}}</ref>
KC Current II would compete in the proposed NWSL Division 2. It was reported in April 2025 the NWSL had proposed a second division league with eight teams already signed on and would require all NWSL teams to have an affiliate within the first four years of the new league. The launch date for NWSL Division 2 would be 2026 as a developmental tier under the NWSL, which has been a first-division league since its inception in late 2012. This would create a new pipeline to the NWSL after the dissolution of the NWSL Draft. The new venture still has to meet sanctioning from U.S. Soccer, but a second-division women's professional league must have at least six teams to apply for sanctioning and all stadiums must seat at least 2,000 people, and principal owners of teams must have a net worth of at least $7.5 million.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kassouf |first1=Jeff |title=NWSL submits bid to launch second division in 2026 |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/44850805/nwsl-submits-bid-launch-second-division-2026 |work=ESPN |date=April 25, 2025}}</ref>
