## Career

[edit]

### Early life and Blackstone

[edit]

Blitzer was born on September 7, 1969, in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. He graduated from Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School in 1987 and graduated magna cum laude from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1991.[1] Blitzer joined the private equity firm Blackstone shortly after graduation and worked out of London from 2001 to 2011 to oversee the company's interests in Europe.[2] He is a member of their management committee and headed their global Tactical Opportunities group from 2012 until stepping down and becoming chairman in November 2024.[3][4]

### Sports ownership

[edit]

Blitzer is co-managing partner of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment (HBSE), which owns the basketball team Philadelphia 76ers and the ice hockey New Jersey Devils.

Blitzer began contemplating investing in sports after meeting Apollo Global Management co-founder Josh Harris in 2008 at The Punch Bowl, a pub in London.[5] By 2011, those talks led to the pair forming an investment group that purchased the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA) for $280 million.[6][7] Other initial members of the group included Art Wrubel, Jason Levien, Adam Aron, Martin Geller, David Heller, James Lassiter, Marc Leder, Michael Rubin, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Erick Thohir.[8][9] In August 2013, Blitzer and Harris purchased the New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League (NHL) and their arena, the Prudential Center, for $320 million.[10] Blitzer and investor David Abrams headed a group that owned 50% of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, from 2014 until selling to Diamond Baseball Holdings in 2021.[11][12]

Blitzer co-founded Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment with Harris in 2017. In addition to the 76ers and Devils, the company also owns the NBA G League's Delaware Blue Coats, the American Hockey League's Utica Comets, esports team Dignitas of New Meta Entertainment,[13][14] HBSE Real Estate, sports tech venture capital firm HBSE Ventures,[15] and marketing, hospitality, and event ticketing company Elevate Sports Ventures.[16] In January 2022, Blitzer and Qualtrics co-founder Ryan Smith purchased Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer (MLS) and America First Field, which included the affiliated Real Monarchs and Zions Bank Stadium.[17][18] The pair also reestablished the Utah Royals of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), which had gone defunct in 2020 and became the Kansas City Current.[19] He sold Real Salt Lake, the Royals, and America First Field to Gail Miller in April 2025, with him remaining as a minority investor.[20] Blitzer purchased a 25 percent stake in the MLB's Cleveland Guardians in June 2022, with an option to acquire controlling interest in 2028.[21][22] Blitzer is the first person to hold team equity in five major professional sports leagues of North America: the NBA, NHL, NFL, MLS, and MLB.[23]

Blitzer purchased an 18% stake in the English football club Crystal Palace in 2015.[24][25] He later formed Global Football Holdings, which has invested in Estoril Praia (Portugal),[26] Alcorcón (Spain),[27] Beveren (Belgium),[28] FC Augsburg (Germany),[29] ADO Den Haag (Netherlands),[26] and Brøndby (Denmark).[30] In 2020, Blitzer and Harris bought a $140 million stake in the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL).[31] In 2023, he was a part of another group led by Harris that purchased the NFL's Washington Commanders for $6.05 billion.[32][33] The same year, Blitzer invested in the return of SlamBall, a basketball league combining elements of other sports,[34] and bought a minority stake in Joe Gibbs Racing by way of HBSE in 2023.[35] He was named to the NHL's Executive Committee in October 2023, which is responsible for vetting new ownership applications, collective bargaining, and league expansion.[36] Blitzer and professional golfer Tiger Woods are owners of the Jupiter Links Golf Club of the virtual golf league TGL, founded in 2023.[37]

In 2024, he sold his stake in the Steelers to Art Rooney II and Thomas Tull.[38] Blitzer is a member of College Sports Tomorrow, a group formed in 2024 consisting of 20 pro team owners, league executives, and college administrators proposing an overhaul to college football, including abolishing conferences and reorganizing Power Five schools in seven divisions of ten each with a system of promotion and relegation for the rest, in addition to changes to NIL deals and the transfer portal.[39] Blitzer and Harris have also invested in youth sports brands, forming Unrivaled Sports as a parent company in March 2024 with capital from The Chernin Group.[40][41] He was among a group of investors in Major League Table Tennis and LOVB Pro, a women's indoor volleyball league, in 2024 and the Snow League, a snowboarding and freestyle skiing league created by Shaun White, in 2025.[42][43][44] In June 2025, HBSE was awarded a Philadelphia WNBA team to begin play in 2030.[45] In June 2025, Blitzer became a co-owner of LOVB Austin with Peter Holt and Amy Griffin.[46]
