Josh Harris and David Blitzer began their sports franchise investments in the early 2010s, recognizing the value and growth potential of professional sports teams. In 2011, they established Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment as a holding company to manage their sports investments and create a unified platform for franchise operations.

The company acquired the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association in 2014, marking HBSE's entry into major professional sports. The acquisition of the 76ers represented a significant investment in an NBA franchise and established Philadelphia as the company's home market. Under HBSE ownership, the 76ers have invested in player development, facility improvements, and operational excellence.

In 2018, HBSE acquired the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer, further diversifying the company's sports portfolio. The acquisition of the Union expanded HBSE's presence in professional soccer and established the company as a multi-sport franchise owner in the Philadelphia market.

Under Harris and Blitzer's leadership, HBSE has invested billions in facility development, player recruitment, and operational infrastructure across all franchises. The company has established itself as a leader in sports franchise management and innovation, with a reputation for data-driven decision-making and long-term strategic planning.
