The Fire return home for their last game at Soldier Field until the end of August 31st desperately seeking a win before heading out on the road for two games over the next week. They’re hosting New York City FC, the youngest team in the league by average age
Heading into PayPal Park in San Jose last Sunday, the Fire had a choice: Knowing that a win would put them level on points (though behind on tiebreakers) with teams in postseason spots, they could make things easy for the remaining dozen games of their season, or they could make
The Fire won a hard-fought, come-from behind battle against the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday, in a match where the team gave hints about the next steps in its tactical evolution. On Sunday, they face a San Jose Earthquakes side that’s on the ropes, with just three wins and two
After a midweek win at home, the Fire return to the road for their final Western Conference matchup of the regular season to take on the San Jose Earthquakes, the team that has far and away the worst record in Major League Soccer, and who are just two matches – both
After a disappointing loss in second-half stoppage time, the Fire remain in the 15th and final place in MLS’s Eastern Conference, and are now six points behind Atlanta and Toronto for the final postseason spots. The team has strange company on the outside of the postseason picture in the
The Fire are back home for the first time since the start of June in one of two home matches in the first of just two matches at Soldier Field in July. Their opponent is the Philadelphia Union, a team that had long been the toast of the league but
The Fire have done it: They’ve finally found a way to the bottom of the table after years spent mostly towards – but never actually at, at least this late in the season – the bottom. Yet the team is also just three points removed from the 9th and final postseason
Until their victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2022, Fire had never won in Cascadia. In 2023, the team notched its first-ever victory in Portland over the Timbers. With Saturday’s test in Seattle against the Sounders, they have a chance to complete a set of away victories over all

The Fire are back in action following a week off and the team will hope to pick up right where they left off, with a win against the L.A. Galaxy ending the first half of the Fire’s season. The team starts a three game road swing in Toronto,

As the Fire host the L.A. Galaxy at the halfway mark of their season, the team finds itself exploring the depths of soccer purgatory: On a winless streak that now stretches to nine matches, just two shy of the team’s all-time record, but also one game shy of
With two games before the team closes the books on the first half of the season, the Fire look for their third win against Orlando City, a team that many picked to finish at or near the top of the Eastern Conference and compete for hardware but who have fallen
