One of two 2017 MLS expansion sides to enter the league this season, the Chicago Fire will welcome Minnesota United FC to Toyota Park on Saturday night for what will be the first-ever MLS meeting between the two clubs. Minnesota formally entered the league in March as the Western Conference counterpart to fellow expansion club Atlanta United FC, whom the Fire have met twice in 2017. Saturday's match kicks off at 7:30 p.m. CT, with coverage on CSN Chicago Plus and Univision América 1200 (WRTO).
The Announcement
Minnesota was awarded the opportunity to be the league's 22nd club back in March of 2015, and formally announced their intent to begin play on Aug.
