BRADY RECORDS FIFTH CLEAN SHEET OF 2026 IN FIRE’S 5-0 WIN OVER SPORTING KC

Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady recorded his fifth clean sheet of the 2026 MLS season Saturday night at Soldier Field, earning a shutout in a 5-0 win over Sporting Kansas City. It was the 22nd clean sheet of his MLS career.

The performance came one week after Brady's 100th regular-season start. With Saturday's result, he leads all Eastern Conference goalkeepers in clean sheets — and every Fire shutout in 2026 has come with the Naperville native in net. It also marked his second consecutive clean sheet against Sporting KC, dating back to a four-save win at Soldier Field in June 2023.

Behind a defense that asked little of him on the night, Brady was not called on to make a save. The result moved Chicago to 5-2-2 (17 points) and pushed the Fire to a season-high five-match MLS unbeaten run.

Brady joined the Fire as a Homegrown Player in March 2020 — the 19th Homegrown signing in club history. He was named Chicago Fire FC Defender of the Year in 2023 and 2024, Top Drawer Soccer’s Top Overall Prospect in MLS in 2024, and was the only goalkeeper selected to the BODYARMOR 22 Under 22 between 2023 and 2025.

Mag Mile Sport congratulates Chris on the milestone and another commanding night for the Men in Red.
