He is also a part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
But Brady is also involved with a soccer club across the pond.
Birmingham City play in the third tier of England, known as League One.
They have just achieved promotion to the division above, the Championship, alongside Ryan Reynold’s Welsh outfit Wrexham.
But Brady and his Hollywood pal aren’t the only mega stars involved in lower-tier English soccer, with sporting icon Beckham recently completing a takeover of League Two side Salford City.
Becks joined forces with former Manchester United teammate Gary Neville earlier this month, with the pair investing around £15million.
Beckham later revealed he had been inspired to get involved after seeing Brady’s success with Birmingham.
And the NFL legend has now sent Becks a congratulatory message on social media.
Brady said: “Congrats to my friends and Consello partners Gary Neville and Declan Kelly for the formation of their new ownership group alongside my friend David Beckham at Salford City. See you up the road!”
Speaking about Brady’s influence after taking over Salford, Beckham had said: “We’ve all been inspired by what Ryan Reynolds has been doing at Wrexham and I’m not saying this is why we’re doing it because it’s not.
“But I’ve spoken to Ryan about it so many times now and he said the feeling around the city, the feeling around the club, is so exceptional. That’s the kind of thing that we want to create.
“Tom Wagner and Tom Brady have done an incredible job with Birmingham.
“I went to a game a few months back and the atmosphere in the stadium was one of the best I’ve seen for a long time. That’s what we want to create.
“We want to create that community, add to the community and fan base we’ve already got — and then lift it.
“When you see what the Toms are doing, there is investment, there is a plan and it would be the dream to talk about the growth of Salford City.”
