Chicago Fire FC have clinched an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs berth for the first time since 2017, following a 5-3 win at Inter Miami CF on Tuesday night.

In their first year under head coach Gregg Berhalter, the Fire have recorded their highest point total since 2017 and booked just their third postseason appearance since 2009.

Chicago have locked up a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference and still have an outside chance at earning a bye to a Round One Best-of-3 Series. They're eighth with two games remaining (51 points; 15W-11L-6D).

Star players

Chicago have been led all season by All-Star midfielder Philip Zinckernagel , a Newcomer of the Year candidate after recording 27 goal contributions (14g/13a) in his debut season, second most in club history.
