FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Revolution will host Chicago Fire FC in the 2025 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. ET. New England returns to Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium on the campus of Providence College for the first time since the 2017 U.S. Open Cup.

Tickets will go on sale to Revolution Season Members this Friday, May 9, before going on sale to the general public on Monday, May 12 via Revolutionsoccer.net. The Round of 16 match is available to watch on Paramount+ and the CBS Sports Golazo Network.

The Revolution advanced to the Round of 16 with a 2-1 victory in their first meeting with Rhode Island FC at Centreville Bank Stadium in Pawtucket on Wednesday night. Argentine forward Tomás Chancalay, featuring in the Starting XI for the first time in 2025, netted the opening goal in Wednesday's match. After Rhode Island knotted the score at 1-1 five minutes into the second half, Academy product Cristiano Oliveira, a 17-year-old midfielder and U.S. youth international from Somerville, Mass., booked New England's ticket to the Round of 16 with the game-winning goal in the 88th minute.

The New England Revolution, three-time finalists and one-time winners of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2007), are looking to reach the Quarterfinal Round of the domestic cup competition for the first time since 2017. New England also reached the final in 2001 and 2016. Overall, the Revolution are 24-19-5 in 48 games in the competition, including a 17-6-3 mark as the home team. On two previous occasions, the Revolution have hosted U.S. Open Cup games in Rhode Island, both victories. Prior to this week's Round of 32 victory at RIFC, New England's most recent match in the Ocean State was a 3-0 triumph over Rochester Rhinos FC, 3-0, at Providence College in 2017.

Chicago Fire FC advanced to the Round of 16 following a 4-0 victory over Detroit City FC on Wednesday night. Chicago currently sits 11th in the MLS Eastern Conference with a 3-4-4 record (13 pts.) through its first 11 regular season matches under new Head Coach Gregg Berhalter, who previously managed the U.S. Men's National Team. Leading the line for Berhalter's side is Belgian forward Hugo Cuypers, who is currently tied atop the MLS Golden Boot leaderboard with seven tallies on the season.
