CABO VERDE NIGHT
The New England Revolution will celebrate Cabo Verdean culture on Saturday night with activations throughout the stadium.

A traditional stew in Cabo Verde, the warm, hearty dish is a perfect treat on a chilly night in Foxborough and a great way to experience the flavors of Cabo Verde.
RECENT FORM VS. CHICAGO FIRE FC
The Revs have lost just once in their last 14 meetings with Chicago Fire FC, posting a 4-1-9 record in the series since 2019. That lone defeat came in Chicago last season, but New England responded with a 2-1 victory at Soldier Field this September. In their last visit to Gillette Stadium, the two dueled to a 2-2 draw.
New England’s win this season was a hard-fought three points against a Chicago side that has remained alongside the Revs in the standings throughout the campaign. The Revs enter this matchup on the heels of an electric 3-2 midweek victory at FC Cincinnati that clinched their place in the Audi 2026 MLS Cup Playoffs. Chicago arrives at Gillette Stadium sitting just behind New England in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Chicago are also coming off a midweek match, where they suffered a 3-1 loss to the Philadelphia Union at home. As the Fire look to claim their spot in the post season, they'll provide a true test in Foxborough on Saturday night.
Saturday marks one of just five games remaining in the regular season. The Revs will be on the road again following the match against Chicago, taking on Philadelphia next at Subaru Park.
Overall Record vs. Chicago: 35-39-23

The Revolution will sport the "Independence Day" kit on Saturday night. Released at the start of the 2026 season, it will serve as the team's Club Kit through the 2026-27 campaigns.
Honoring 250 years of American Independence, the kit pays homage to the New England history which helped shape the country. The bold design leans into the themes of celebration, inspired by the classic patriotic bunting and the fireworks displays that have been lighting up New England skies for a quarter Millenium. With the Heritage Tree on the shirtfront and "Est. 1776" on the collar, the kit embodies New England pride.
The Independence Day jersey is paired with navy shorts adorned by three red stripes down each side. The red, white, and blue socks also sport the Revolution seal across the shins.
