All In for the Playoffs

Whitney recently sat down with Chicago Fire FC’s Justin Reynolds — and the passion was undeniable. With the Fire fighting for their first playoff berth since 2017, Justin shared what it means to wear Chicago across his chest, and how this moment is about more than soccer.

Here’s the best part: the Fire want all of Chicago with them. Sitting in 9th place with five games left, they’re giving everyone a free month of MLS Season Pass — so the city can experience every thrilling moment of their playoff chase. Find the details below!

The Fire’s commitment to Chicago stretches far beyond the field. Through the Chicago Fire Foundation’s P.L.A.Y.S. (Participate, Learn, Achieve, Youth, Soccer) Program, kids across the city are discovering more than how to play the game. They’re learning how to believe in themselves, how to work together, and how to rise when life gets tough. On the field they practice passing and scoring, but in the process they’re also practicing respect, teamwork, and resilience — lessons that follow them back into the classroom and into their futures.

At its core, this moment isn’t just about chasing a playoff spot — it’s about resilience, community, and uniting a city. As Justin reminded Whitney in their conversation, soccer has a way of bringing people together. And right now, Chicago Fire FC is calling on all of us to join the fight.

So, the question is: will you answer the call?
