Chicago vs New England — MLS 2026
Standings & Form · MLS 2026

Chicago's home record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses is far stronger than New England's away return of 4 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses, so the venue tilts the matchup toward the hosts.

About The Match
Chicago host New England in a meeting of two sides separated by a single point in the table, but the home team's recent form is built on draws while the visitors arrive off a win. Chicago are unbeaten in their last six league matches yet have drawn four of them, and New England's away record is the more volatile of the two. The market prices Chicago as the likelier winner at 48%, with the draw at 25% and New England at 27%. The key uncertainty is whether Chicago's solid home defence, conceding 1.1 goals per home match, can contain a New England side that has scored in every one of its last five away games.
Head-to-Head · LAST 10 MEETINGS
These clubs have drawn 7 of their last 10 meetings, with Chicago winning 2 and New England 1, and the average of 3.2 goals per meeting points to open games. Both teams scored in 80% of those matches, so a repeat of the draw-heavy pattern would not be a surprise.
