Wed May 21 04:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Revolution Face Fire in U.S. Open Cup Showdown at Providence College
**PROVIDENCE, RI** – The New England Revolution are set to host Chicago Fire FC tonight at Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium on the campus of Providence College in the Round of 16 of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m. under cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 60s.
Fans can catch the action on Paramount+ and the CBS Sports Golazo Network, or tune into 98.5 The Sports Hub HD2 for English-language radio coverage.
The Revolution enter the match riding a six-game unbeaten streak in league play (4-0-2), boasting the stingiest defense in MLS, having conceded only 10 goals in 12 matches. They advanced to this stage of the Open Cup with a 2-1 victory over local rivals Rhode Island FC.
Chicago, under new head coach Gregg Berhalter, has found their stride, winning their last three matches in all competitions. The Fire advanced to the Round of 16 by dispatching Detroit City FC in a dominant 4-0 performance. With Berhalter’s influence, Chicago has been an offensive force, ranking in the top five in MLS in goals scored.
The historical matchup between the Revolution and the Fire dates back to 1998, with the Revs holding a 34-37-22 overall record against Chicago. In regular season play, New England is unbeaten in their last 12 encounters with Chicago dating back to 2019.
Tonight’s winner will secure a spot in the U.S. Open Cup Quarterfinals, scheduled for July 8-9. For the Revs, the match marks the start of a busy stretch with three road games in eight days following the Open Cup tilt.
Adding a special touch to the occasion, the Revolution will don their new Eastern White Pine kit, which will serve as the club’s Community kit for the 2025 and 2026 seasons. The kit pays homage to the historic Flag of New England on the 250th anniversary of its first use by New England colonies in the Revolutionary War.
