Chicago Fire FC

Mbekezeli Mbokazi -- known back home as "TLB" -- has transitioned from newfound stardom in South Africa to becoming the bedrock of the Chicago Fire FC's defensive line.

Real Salt Lake are one of the many teams to move up in this week's edition of ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

Evander scored three goals, his first career hat trick in MLS, and Roman Celentano had eight saves Saturday night to help for FC Cincinnati beat the Chicago Fire 3-2.

A statement win from Marco Reus & Co. has the LA Galaxy surging up this week's edition of MLS Power Rankings.

Nashville SC continue their great week as they move on up in this week's edition of ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

Mbekezeli Mbokazi's career at Chicago Fire FC is increasingly gathering steam, with the 20-year-old's performance against Atlanta United this weekend his standout showing of the season so far.

LAFC had been practically perfect in 2026, but the Angelenos first loss of the year cleared room for a new No. 1 in this edition of MLS Power Rankings.

Maren Haile-Selassie scored early for Chicago and that was all Chris Brady needed to help the Fire earn a third straight victory, beating Atlanta United 1-0 on Saturday night.

LAFC still hasn't conceded in league play in 2026, only a draw blemishes its record this season, but it's enough to top ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

South Africa controlled the tempo for the lion's share of both games, but their dominance did not always translate to goals and lapses at the back meant they drew 1-1 in Durban and lost 2-1 in Cape Town.
