The 2025 Chicago Stars FC season is the team's twelfth season as a professional women's soccer team. Based in Bridgeview, Illinois, United States, Chicago Stars FC plays in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL), the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. Formerly known as the Chicago Red Stars, the club rebranded to Chicago Stars FC prior to the 2025 season.

Background

Under head coach Lorne Donaldson, the Red Stars finished in eighth place and advanced to the 2024 postseason. [1] However, Chicago was quickly eliminated in the first round after eventual champions Orlando Pride flattened the Red Stars in a 6–1 victory. [2] The Red Stars also participated in the inaugural version of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, but failed to advance past the group stage. [3]

Branding changes

In October 2024, the club rebranded to Chicago Stars FC, unveiling a new crest along with the name. Chicago continued as the Red Stars through the end of 2024, at which point they executed the rebrand prior to the 2025 season. [4]

As part of a league-wide refresh, the Stars announced a new secondary kit in February 2025. [5] The club's new jersey consists of a black background with liquid metal patterns meant to "[symbolize] the relentless intensity that lies within and the team's ability to adapt to any challenge." [6] [7]

Stadium and facilities

For the tenth season in a row, the Stars used SeatGeek Stadium as its primary home venue. The club continued to find difficulty selling tickets and ranked as the least successful NWSL team in terms of attendance through the first eight games of the year. [8] In September 2025, the Stars announced that the club would be playing at the lakefront Martin Stadium on the campus of Northwestern University for 2026. [9] Chicago played one 2025 match at Martin Stadium, a 5–2 victory over the Orlando Pride that set a second-highest season attendance marker for the Stars. [10] The attendance numbers were only less than in Chicago's match against Seattle Reign FC at Soldier Field in June. [11]
