MONTRÉAL, Québec — Few stadiums in MLS are more difficult to play at than Montréal's Stade Saputo. The Chicago Fire did themselves no favors Saturday night when they travelled there, however. A 2-0 defeat – featuring goals either side of the half from Josef Martínez and Caden Clark – consigned the
The Fire face the team that gave them their first win of the season looking for a win and three points over CF Montréal in another matchup between two teams that are hoping against increasingly long odds to battle their way into the postseason. Since the Fire last played CF
The Fire are back in the belle province for a game against CF Montréal in their penultimate road game of the season, as both teams try to salvage results from what have been disappointing campaigns this year. The last time these two teams met at Stade Saputo, the game ended
Nashville, Tenn. — Sometimes, you can't you just can't quite get in tune. The Fire traveled to Nashville looking for their first-ever win in Tennessee’s largest city but again fell short, falling 1-0 to their hosts off a goal by Sam Surridge. Despite radical changes to
For the last time of 2024, the Fire face an opponent they haven’t yet faced this year (barring a run to the MLS Cup final, which I think we can all agree is highly unlikely) in Nashville SC. The game is the sixth regular-season matchup between the two teams
After three games at the team’s two homes and the team’s first win in just under two months, the Fire head south to Nashville for their first game against the ‘Yotes this season, looking for their first-ever win in Nashville. They’ll face a very different team than

The two MLS teams with the longest playoff drought meet at SeatGeek on Saturday, as the Fire host D.C. United. Both teams are currently out of the playoffs looking in and would love to walk away from Bridgeview with three points in hand as they look to change their
CHICAGO, Ill. — Some nights play out like a fairy tale. Some do not. Last year, the Chicago Fire cruised to an astonishingly dominant 4-1 victory over a Lionel Messi-less Inter Miami. This time around, it was precisely the opposite: a crushing 4-1 loss before 55,385 fans. The news of
The Fire host Inter Miami for the second time since Lionel Messi’s arrival to the squad from south Florida. Last year, the team put on a spectacle in front of the largest-ever home crowd in team history and emerged with a 4-1 win. Can the Fire repeat against an
The Fire host Inter Miami, a team they technically played two matches previously in the MLS regular season, a match that took place nearly a month and a half ago because of the Leagues Cup break. Miami weren’t able to repeat their Leagues Cup victory with Lionel Messi sidelined
