The 2020 Chicago Fire FC season is the club's 25th year of existence, as well as their 23rd in Major League Soccer. This is the Fire's first full year under the ownership of Joe Mansueto following his purchase of the club on September 13, 2019.[1] This is also the Fire's first season back in city limits, playing in Soldier Field for the first time since 2005.[2][3] The Fire will face Atlanta United in their first home match. The team also announced a rebrand on November 21, 2019. They became known as Chicago Fire Football Club (Chicago Fire FC) and changed their logo.[4] The change was met with large amounts of negative reaction on social media.
