Chris Brady Named to USMNT Roster for 2026 FIFA World Cup

Chicago Fire FC goalkeeper Chris Brady has been named to the United States Men's National Team's 26-player roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, U.S. Soccer and the club announced on May 26.

Brady is one of three goalkeepers on Mauricio Pochettino's final roster and will wear No. 25. He becomes the first Chicago Fire Homegrown Player and Academy graduate to be named to a FIFA World Cup roster, and just the fifth player named to a World Cup roster as an active player of the Fire — joining Jorge Campos (1998), Josh Wolff and DaMarcus Beasley (2002), and Xherdan Shaqiri (2022).

The Naperville native has been Chicago's starting goalkeeper since 2023. Through 14 matches in 2026, Brady has posted a career-high 74.2 save percentage, and he enters the tournament with 106 MLS starts across four full seasons with the Fire. He previously won the Golden Glove at the 2022 Concacaf U-20 Championship.

The USMNT will play Senegal on May 31 in Charlotte and Germany on June 6 in Chicago before opening Group D play against Paraguay on June 12 in Los Angeles.

Congratulations to Chris and his family on a moment that reflects years of work. Mag Mile Sport is proud to represent him.
