So You Want to Watch the Chicago Fire FC Set the Pitch Ablaze? You've Come to the Right Place, Buddy
Let's face it, there's nothing quite like watching a bunch of grown men (and the occasional phenomenal woman in MLS Next Pro) tear after a ball with the grace of a gazelle and the competitive spirit of a raccoon protecting its trash stash. Especially when those athletes wear the Men in Red of the Chicago Fire FC. But where, oh where, do you, the discerning fan, catch these blazing flames in action? Fear not, friend, for I, your friendly neighborhood internet guide (who may or may not have gotten a little too invested in Fire Twitter), am here to illuminate your path.
First Things First: The Beautiful Game (and Streaming Services, But Mostly the Game)
There are two main ways to witness the Fire set the pitch alight: in person at the legendary SeatGeek Stadium (because who doesn't love the thrill of the roaring crowd and the questionable stadium food?), or by the magic of streaming. Now, depending on the match, you might need to choose your digital weapon wisely.
- MLS Season Pass on Apple TV+: This is your one-stop shop for most MLS matches, including a good chunk of Chicago Fire FC's scorching season. Think of it as your Netflix for soccer, but with less existential dread and more pyrotechnics (hopefully coming from the Fire and not a disgruntled fan).
Word to the Wise: You'll need an Apple TV+ subscription to access MLS Season Pass, so dust off those virtual apples and get ready to subscribe.
- Local Broadcasts: Some Fire matches might also be broadcast on local channels, so do a quick Google search before kickoff to see if you can catch the action for free (because who doesn't love free things, besides those darn pigeons?).
Bonus Round: Catching the Young Firebirds Take Flight
For those who like their soccer a little younger (and maybe a little less likely to result in a yellow card), you can catch the Chicago Fire FC's MLS NEXT Pro team, the future stars of tomorrow (hopefully not the reason your fantasy team loses this week). Their matches are usually streamed on Apple TV+ via MLS Season Pass, so you can witness the next generation of Fire burn bright.
There You Have It, Folks!
Now you're armed with the knowledge to become a Fire-watching extraordinaire. So grab your favorite jersey (or that lucky t-shirt that vaguely resembles the team colors), settle in, and get ready to cheer on the Men in Red as they dominate the pitch (or, you know, at least put on a valiant effort). Remember, even if things get a little hairy (because hey, soccer can be unpredictable), you're in it for the ride, the passionate fans, and the beautiful game (hopefully played beautifully by the Fire).
Onward to Victory, Chicago Fire FC!
