EVANSTON, Ill. — Chicago Stars FC returns to Martin Stadium on Sunday, October 18, for a 6 p.m. Central match against Seattle Reign FC. The game is scheduled to stream on the Roku Sports Channel.
Both teams are looking to respond to defeats. Chicago's most recent match ended in a 3–0 home loss to Denver Summit FC on October 4. Seattle lost 1–0 to North Carolina Courage at Lumen Field on October 2. Sunday's fixture gives each side its next opportunity to change that immediate result.
The clubs enter with different season records. Chicago is 5–20–2 with 17 points, while Seattle is 12–11–4 with 40 points, according to the Stars' official match preview. The meeting is their second of the 2026 season. Those records establish the context without settling how a single match will unfold.
For Chicago, the schedule also provides a short run of home opportunities. The Stars are due to host Houston Dash on Friday, October 23, before traveling to face Washington Spirit on November 1. Seattle comes first, with the Stars seeking a result at the same venue where Denver shut them out earlier this month.
Sunday's match is part of Chicago's Halloween celebration. The club's match information lists Martin Stadium in Evanston and the evening kickoff.
No final result exists for Sunday's game as of this Saturday-morning preview. Starting lineups and late availability decisions have not been assumed here. The confirmed information is the matchup, venue, scheduled kickoff and each team's recent results, with Chicago preparing for another home test against the Reign.
