Chris Brady Named Chicago Fire FC Player of the Month for April

Mag Mile Sport client and Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady has been named the club's Player of the Month for April 2026, recognizing a stretch that has anchored one of the steadiest defensive starts in Major League Soccer.

April included Brady's third shutout of the season — a 1-0 victory over first-place Nashville SC at Soldier Field on April 4 — which also earned him an MLS Team of the Matchday selection for Matchday 6. Across the month, the Naperville native and Homegrown product was a central figure in a Fire side that has conceded among the fewest goals in the Eastern Conference and significantly improved its defensive numbers from a year ago.

Recognition like this is rare for a goalkeeper. Player of the Month awards typically gravitate toward attacking output and visible scorelines, which makes the club's choice this month notable — and accurate. Head coach Gregg Berhalter has publicly credited Brady's composure through a season of significant individual pressure, with the USMNT's World Cup roster announcement scheduled for May 26.

April was the work. The recognition followed.

Congratulations, Chris. Keep going.
