Chicago Fire

Chicago Fire to Open Postseason at Toyota Park This Week

The Chicago Fire will kick off the MLS Playoffs next week at Toyota Park, as they will have home-field advantage in the knockout round of the postseason.

Despite a 3-0 loss to the Houston Dynamos in the season’s final match on Sunday, the Fire finished as the third seed in the Eastern Conference, meaning that they will host the sixth-seeded New York Red Bulls in the first round of the playoffs.

The game is a winner-take-all affair, with the winner advancing into the quarterfinals.

Toronto FC had already locked up the top seed in the East, meaning they will have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. New York City FC locked up the second seed thanks to Chicago’s loss to Houston.

In the other knockout round game, Atlanta FC will take on the Columbus Crew.

The postseason will kickoff on Wednesday with two games, and the other two games will take place on Thursday.
