Sports career

Hunt, one of the primary catalysts behind the introduction of Major League Soccer, was assisting his father, the Kansas City Wizards, until the team was sold in 2006.

Hunt is still a member of the league's board of governors and also owns FC Dallas, a Dallas-based soccer franchise that also owned the Columbus Crew until 2013.

In 2005, Hunt was named chairman of the Kansas City Chiefs. Following his father's death in 2006, he, his sister, and two brothers inherited the Chiefs' ownership. Hunt, on the other hand, is the franchise's operating head; he represents the Chiefs at owner's meetings and has the final say on personnel changes.

Chiefs general manager Carl Peterson revealed that both he and head coach Herm Edwards would return to the Chiefs in 2008. Hunt, on the other hand, was unable to comment on Peterson's situation right away. Hunt spoke out a few weeks later, saying that the Chiefs were his "No." "To have the highest chance of success in 2008, having Carl here makes sense." Hunt wanted to prevent the hiring of a new general manager with a new head coach, and starting from scratch again.

Hunt announced on December 15 that Peterson resigned as the franchise's general manager, president, and CEO, as a result of the season. The Chiefs had an overall record of 9–24 under Hunt's leadership before the 2006 visit.

Peterson resigned, according to the official press release, but Hunt had said the conversation had been ongoing throughout the season. Hunt said he did not make the decision to fire Peterson of duties based on events the previous day, when the Chiefs lost an 11-point lead in the final 73 seconds and were defeated 22–21 by San Diego, dropping their record to 2–12 on the season. He also stated that the head coach Herm Edwards' contract would be decided after the season when a new general manager will be hired. Hunt said he would divide the positions previously held by Peterson and bring someone in charge of the company's administration and someone else in charge of football.

Hunt maintained his hunt for a new general manager who had made it almost leakproof by reminding subordinates that only he was to be aware of the situation.

Columbus Crew captured their first MLS Cup championship on November 23, 2008, under Hunt.

Hunt Sports Group sold the Columbus Crew to Precourt Sports Ventures in 2013, led by Anthony Precourt.

Hunt named Scott Pioli, the former Chiefs general manager, as the New England Patriots' vice president of player services on January 13, 2009. Todd Haley was hired as his replacement on February 6, and Herman Edwards, the Chiefs' head coach, was fired on January 23.

Haley's first season was not fruitful, but in his second season, he did a lot better job. Hunt fired Haley on December 12, 2011, after the Chiefs had a 5–8 record during the 2011 NFL season. Despite winning the AFC West the year before Haley was fired by defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel mid-season. Crennel closed his tenure as interim head coach with a 2–1 record, as well as a victory over the previously undefeated and defending Super Bowl Champions (2011 Green Bay Packers). Hunt named Crennel as the team's permanent head coach on January 9, 2012. The 2012 Chiefs had a 2–14 record, the lowest in the league, and for the first time in franchise history, the Chiefs were expected to have the first pick in the upcoming Draft. Following the 2012 season, Hunt fired both general manager Scott Pioli and head coach Romeo Crennel.

After a 4–12 season as coach Andy Reid's successor, the Philadelphia Eagles decided not to renew head coach Andy Reid's contract, the lowest level in his 13-year tenure. He began exercising other head coaching positions and was highly sought after due to his success. Reid went 130–93–1 in Philadelphia over his 13 years as mayor of Philadelphia and made the playoffs nine times (including one Super Bowl appearance). Despite the fact that there were eight open head coaching positions, Reid chose the Chiefs because he had a lot of respect for the Hunt family and the Chiefs Organization. Hunt promoted Reid to a five-year contract on January 4, 2013. Originally Hunt was supposed to have full control of all football activity (a similar deal in Philadelphia), but Hunt hired John Dorsey as the general manager on January 13, 2013. Dorsey had no general manager experience before this, but she was the Director of Football Operations for the Green Bay Packers, and she had previously worked as a scout in Green Bay. Dorsey and Reid both worked with the Packers from 1992 to 1998, so they were well acquainted with each other. Reid and Dorsey will have equal say in football policy, according to Hunt.

The 2013 Chiefs bounced back and finished 11–5, making the playoffs, but lost to the Indianapolis Colts in the first round of the playoffs. The Chiefs were unable to qualify for the playoffs the following year, but they did manage to post a winning record at 9–7. Reid's third year as Chiefs increased on their 9–7 record and ended the 2015 season with a 11-5 record. The Chiefs won their first playoff game during Hunt's tenure and the first for the franchise since 1993, defeating the Houston Texans in the wild card round of the playoffs. The Chiefs did however lose in the second round to the New England Patriots, snaping their season. The 2016 Chiefs won the AFC West for the second time in his tenure, with the best of Hunt's tenure as head coach of the team. In the divisional round of the 2016–17 NFL playoffs, the Chiefs lost at home to the Pittsburgh Steelers. On June 22, 2017, Hunt fired general manager John Dorsey due to cap mismanagement. Brett Veach, the Co-Director of Player Personnel, was then promoted to Co-Director of Player Personnel. In 2017, the Chiefs captured the AFC West for the second time, finishing with a 10–6 record. In the first round of the 2017-18 NFL playoffs, the Titans lost to the Tennessee Titans.

The 2018 Chiefs finished 12–4 on the season and clinched a first-round playoff bye for the 2018–19 NFL playoffs. For the first time since the 1993 season, the Chiefs triumphed in the divisional round and made the AFC Championship for the first time since the 1993 season, and the Chiefs were expected to host it for the first time in franchise history. In overtime to the New England Patriots, they lost in overtime. The Chiefs had a 12–4 record in 2019 and had also hosted the AFC Championship game. This time, however, the Chiefs captured their first AFC Championship and took home the Lamar Hunt Trophy, which was named after his father. The Chiefs then went on to win Super Bowl LIV for the second time in their history and first in 50 years. He paid tribute to his father's trophy acceptance speech 50 years ago by saying, "It's a beautiful trophy and I cannot think of a more fitting way to end the NFL's 100th season than receiving this award." "The AFL's 10th season is the best change from his father's address," Lamar said. The Chiefs remained 14–2, the first season to have a franchise record for victories in a season. The Chiefs participated in Super Bowl LV, their second straight appearance to the Super Bowl, but the Buccaneers lost 9–31, the team's second straight defeat in four seasons.

Hunt is a leading voice among NFL owners, contributing to the team's on-field revival. After seven years as a member of the influential NFL Finance Committee, Hunt was appointed Chairman of the influential NFL Finance Committee in 2019. Hunt is a member and former chairman of the NFL International Committee, and he serves on the Executive Committee (CEC) and the Personal Conduct Committee of the Management Council. Hunt was instrumental in negotiating the NFL's collective bargaining deal in 2011, and he was one of six members of the NFL Commission on Los Angeles Opportunities.
