A Summer of Soccer in Chicago
Chicago Fire FC has unveiled a packed schedule for the Chicago Fire Soccer Celebration, presented by McDonald’s, at the Recess venue in the West Loop. The fan‑zone will run from June 11 through July 19, offering fans a chance to experience every match of the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 in an immersive setting.
Beyond the games, the six‑week program promises musical performances, limited‑edition merchandise drops from local artists, and surprise appearances by Chicago Fire FC players and coaches. Attendees can also take part in a series of activations that include opportunities to win exclusive prizes, ranging from a brand‑new car to a cash grand prize.
Entry to the celebration is free, but fans must secure a mobile pass through SoccerAtRecess.com to gain access. The pass system is designed to manage crowds while keeping the experience open to all.
The event builds on the club’s recent milestones, including the groundbreaking of a privately funded, soccer‑specific stadium in Chicago’s South Loop slated for 2028. While the team currently calls historic Soldier Field home and trains at the Endeavor Health Performance Center, the new facility represents a long‑term vision for a dedicated home.
Chicago Fire FC’s rich history — six domestic trophies, including four U.S. Open Cups and the 2003 Supporters’ Shield — adds depth to the celebration, underscoring the club’s deep roots in the city’s sports culture.
