The 2013 Chicago Fire season was the club's 15th year of existence, as well as their 16th season in Major League Soccer and their 16th consecutive year in the top-flight of American soccer.
Chicago Fire began the regular season on March 3, 2013 with an away match against the defending champions Los Angeles Galaxy. The Men in Red concluded the regular season on October 27, 2013 with an away match against New York Red Bulls.
The Fire finished the regular season with a 14-13-7 record, but narrowly missed the playoffs, losing the spot to the Montreal Impact on second tiebreaker. On October 30, 2013, the club has announced the head coach Frank Klopas and the president of soccer operations Javier Leon have stepped down.[2]
On December 5, 2013 the club's forward Mike Magee was named the MLS Most Valuable Player.[3]
