CHICAGO, Ill. — It was one of the best Soldier Field nights of 2025 for the Chicago Fire, and three points made it sweeter. The 1-0 victory was just their third home victory of the season, but it could be the most important one so far, as it pushes the Fire
The 2025 MLS summer transfer window is officially open, and the Chicago Fire are already making moves – or at least preparing to. To be clear, the club has been sitting idly until now. Sporting Director/Head Coach Gregg Berhalter and his backroom staff have been active behind the scenes for
CHICAGO, Ill. — Chris Mueller will miss the remainder of the MLS season as he battles pericarditis, the Chicago Fire winger announced today. Mueller was diagnosed during this year's preseason and has not played since. ”I felt like it was time to come out and say what I’ve
Arriving at the Chicago Fire from Norwegian club FK Bodø/Glimt, Philip Zinckernagel didn’t necessarily roll into town with the grandest expectations. While expected to play, the Dane was not the blockbuster addition of the Fire’s offseason. Zinckernagel didn’t join the club as a DP, but he’
MONTRÉAL, Qué. — Three more points to claim through customs. The Chicago Fire are officially nine for nine in Canada this season, wrapping up their slate north of the border with a 2-0 win at CF Montréal’s Stade Saputo. There was a surprise when the Chicago Fire’s lineup was
For the bulk of the Chicago Fire’s season so far, Gregg Berhalter has relied on the much-talked-about all-American, all-homegrown midfield of Brian Gutiérrez, Sergio Oregel, and Mauricio Pineda. That exact trio has started together 12 times in 2025, even if absolutely nobody had it penciled in as the team’
The Chicago Fire are still yet to win an MLS game in Atlanta, but were seconds away from doing so before Will Reilly nicked a last-gasp point on Wednesday night. The 2-2 draw at Mercedes-Benz Stadium extends the Fire’s winless run to four matches, even if it felt harsh
For the last six years, Patrick Los and Patryk Stechnij have been inseparable at the Chicago Fire.

CHICAGO, Ill. — The Chicago Fire's home field struggled returned tonight against San Diego FC. The Fire welcomed more than 27,000 fans to Soldier Field to face Hirving "Chucky" Lozano and San Diego, but fell flat on their faces in a 2-1 loss. Gregg Berhalter described

The Chicago Fire kicked off their run of 5 games in 14 days last night, travelling to Cincinnati to face the league leaders. It didn’t go to plan as they lost 2-1, but there were several positives to take away from the performance as they went toe-to-toe with MLS’
CHICAGO, Ill. — “Home sweet home” is not a phrase the Chicago Fire have uttered at Soldier Field matchnights too often this season. Now they can. For just the second time in 2025, Gregg Berhalter’s team secured a win at home, doing so in their ninth attempt. The fans finally
When Omar González joined the Chicago Fire in February, he knew exactly what his role was going to be. The 17th season of his professional career started in free agency, but despite his three MLS Cups, two Gold Cups, and one CONCACAF Champions League medal, he wasn't coming
The Chicago Fire’s home misery in 2025 continued last night against Philadelphia as they suffered a 1-0 loss at the hands of the first-placed Union. It was a truly hapless performance, as the Fire failed to take advantage of Philly’s heavily short-handed roster and never grew into the
