Chicago Fire FC has locked in a vibrant new identity for its future home, naming the upcoming stadium McDonald’s Park through a landmark sponsorship deal.
On May 13, 2026, the club revealed plans for the $750 million privately funded, soccer-specific venue at The 78 development in Chicago’s South Loop. The 22,000-seat facility is scheduled to open in 2028 and will include a flagship McDonald’s restaurant open every day of the year. This marks the fast-food giant’s first naming rights partnership for a major professional sports stadium in the United States, with the space also expanding to hold 31,000 fans for concerts.
The partnership promises an energetic atmosphere where fans can enjoy seamless game-day experiences surrounded by the familiar comfort of McDonald’s. Construction began earlier this year, turning the South Loop site into a year-round destination that blends matches, live music, and community gatherings.
Local reports highlight how the venue will elevate Chicago’s sports scene, giving supporters a modern, fan-focused home that feels fresh and welcoming. Whether planning a quick match visit or a full weekend of events with hotel stays, visitors will find the integrated dining and entertainment options make every trip effortless and memorable.
McDonald’s Park stands ready to serve as both a soccer landmark and a community anchor, delivering the excitement Chicago fans have long deserved in a setting built to last. The development also includes plans for additional retail spaces and green areas to enhance the overall experience for all visitors attending events at the stadium.
