As Playoff Race Heats Up, Club to Cover Application Fees for First 2,000 Supporters

CHICAGO (Sept. 30, 2025) – All aboard, fans! Chicago Fire FC is teaming up with the Illinois Secretary of State to bring official Chicago Fire FC license plates to the roads of Illinois – and they’re covering the $25 application fee for the first 2,000 Illinois drivers who sign up.

This initiative comes as the Fire – currently sitting 9th in the Eastern Conference with 48 points – continue their push in the MLS playoff race and as excitement builds across the city. Whether they’re cheering from Soldier Field, watching from sports bars, supporting from their couches, or now even driving down the highway, Chicago Fire wants its fans to show their support.

“This is more than a license plate – it’s a badge of pride,” said Dan Moriarty, Chief Marketing Officer for Chicago Fire FC. “We’re excited to give our fans a new way to represent the Fire and show their love for the Club wherever they drive – whether to a match or the grocery store.”
