Chicago Stars

Chicago Stars Football Club (formerly the Chicago Red Stars) is an American professional soccer team based in the Chicago metropolitan area that competes in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). A founding member of the Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) league, they have played in the NWSL since 2013. The Stars play their home games at SeatGeek Stadium.

The team played in WPS in 2009 and 2010. After leaving WPS in December 2010 due to the club's financial issues, the club joined the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) for the 2011 season. In 2012, the Red Stars co-founded and played in Women's Premier Soccer League Elite (WPSL-E): a one-year league which bridged the WPS and the NWSL. The club became a founding member of the NWSL, which was financially supported by the United States Soccer Federation, in 2012. In October 2022, they held the record for the longest active playoff streak (2015–2022) in the NWSL.
