CHICAGO - Chicago Fire FC today rolled out its series of theme nights for select home matches during the 2026 regular season. This year, the Fire will host a range of new and fan favorite theme nights paired with unique matchday merch.

Throughout the 2026 season, each theme night will feature first come, first serve gate giveaways to enhance fans' match viewing experiences.

"Theme nights are one of our favorite ways to bring families, friends and fans together to celebrate the Club during our electric home matches," said Chicago Fire FC Vice President of Matchday Operations and Guest Experience, Joey Colby-Begovich. "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."

Kicking off with the Home Opener against Eastern Conference rival CF Montréal on Saturday, Feb. 28, the Fire will give away a limited quantity of red flags, matching the team's iconic color to get fans ready to catch the Club's 2026 Soldier Field debut.

The Club's first-ever Marvel™-themed matchday, presented by Hyundai, will give fans a shot at picking up a custom Chicago Fire FC Comic when they enter the gates. With customized illustrations of the Fire's own Sparky, more details on this special-edition collectible will be revealed closer to matchday.

Unique to this season, the Men in Red return from a temporary MLS summer break with the Homecoming Red Out, presented by Wintrust, featuring a Foam Finger giveaway.
