Our goal with this year’s calendar is to help fans create memories around a range of cultural moments, city pride and fandom – making every match feel special as soon as fans walk through the gates.”
The 2026 season opens on February 28 with a home game against CF Montréal. Fans in attendance will receive red flags featuring the team’s iconic color. Other scheduled theme nights include Military and Veterans Appreciation (Camo Military Cap giveaway), Marvel Day (custom comic book), Homecoming Red Out (foam finger), Chicago Sports Night (banner pennant), CFFC Soccer Celebration (large flag), Oktoberfest (beer stein), Hispanic Heritage Night (accordion fan), an anime-themed event with Naruto merchandise, and Fan Appreciation night with a Fire Fan Chain giveaway. Some details about these events will be announced closer to their respective dates.
Each theme night features giveaways distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at stadium gates.
