Soldier Field sits on the lakefront with its colonnades wrapped around a modern bowl, a stadium built in 1924 and reworked in 2003, and since 2020 it has been where Chicago Fire play their home matches.

The Fire were one of the original expansion sides brought into MLS, formed on 8 October 1997, a date set to land on the 126th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire that gave the club its name. Bob Bradley took charge as the first head coach and, in that debut 1998 season, won both the MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup. That MLS Cup remains the club's only one, a 2:0 win over D.C. United, with two further final defeats along the way, in 2000 and 2003.

The U.S. Open Cup has been kinder: four titles, in 1998, 2000, 2003 and 2006, and a fifth final lost in 2011 to Seattle Sounders FC. Against Columbus Crew SC the rivalry carries no trophy and needs none, the oldest fixture the club has; against FC Dallas it plays for the Brimstone Cup, a series running since 1998.

Chicago has fielded its share of imported names — Hristo Stoichkov turned out for the club in 2000, Bastian Schweinsteiger arrived in 2017 — but Ante Razov is the club's all-time leading scorer with 95 goals. Since 2019 the club has belonged to Joe Mansueto, the Morningstar founder, who bought out former owner Andrew Hauptman; Gregg Berhalter now holds the coaching job, having led the side to a playoff win in 2024.
