On Father's Day, June 21, SeatGeek Stadium hosts the MLR Championship - the culmination of an 11-week regular season and single-elimination playoff that cuts the field down to two: one night, one winner.
Chicago has done this before. SeatGeek Stadium packed 10,000+ fans for the 2023 MLR Championship Final, and this summer, the Windy City goes bigger. Twenty thousand seats, world-class turf, and a full weekend of rugby activations around the stadium make this more than a match night - it's a marquee moment for the sport on this continent. The stadium will also be celebrating its 20th anniversary in June, adding another layer to what's already shaping up to be a special occasion.
Kickoff is at 8 PM ET on June 21, and the game will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and ESPN+. Full details on the Championship weekend schedule will be announced soon.
