Chicago Fire FC is set to begin a three-game road trip with a match against long-time rivals FC Dallas on Saturday, March 8 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. This game concludes a series of matches against Major League Soccer's founding members for Chicago Fire FC.

The rivalry between these two teams dates back to 1998, with FC Dallas leading the all-time series 22-17-5 in regular season play. Despite this record, Chicago currently holds the Brimstone Cup, having secured it with a victory in 2019 and retaining it after a draw in their last meeting in 2022.

Chicago Fire will face challenges from key players like Luciano “Lucho” Acosta, the 2023 MLS MVP who recently joined FC Dallas and scored his first goal for them against Colorado Rapids. Another significant threat is Peter Musa, who has already scored two goals this season after leading his team with 16 goals in 2024.

The upcoming game details are as follows:

CHICAGO FIRE FC (0-1-1, 1 point) vs. FC DALLAS (1-0-1, 4 points)

Date: Saturday, March 8, 2025

Location: Toyota Stadium – Frisco, Texas

Chicago Fire's forward Hugo Cuypers made an impact by scoring twice in his second match of the year. Additionally, four players debuted for Chicago during their last match at Soldier Field: Sam Rogers, Sam Williams, Harold Osorio, and Omar González. González has extensive experience playing against Dallas and will bring that to the field once more.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., with global broadcasting available on MLS Season Pass via Apple TV and local transmission on wlsam.com (English) and Que Buena 105.1 through the Uforia app (Spanish).
