Located in the Roosevelt Square neighborhood on Chicago’s Near West Side, the Endeavor Health Performance Center will be a best-in-class facility that will allow the Club to attract and train top talent. The Endeavor Health Performance Center will allow Fire players to train at the highest level at one of the best training facilities in the League. It will include five turf/grass fields, a performance space with top-of-the-line equipment, hydro pools and space for the sports medicine team to monitor First Team players’ health, performance level and injury recovery. In addition to a premier training facility for the Chicago Fire first team, Chicago Fire II, and the Chicago Fire Academy, the Endeavor Health Performance Center will become a destination for the local community. The Endeavor Health Performance Center will provide employment opportunities for community members, resources for minority and women-owned businesses, free sports programming for local youth, community green spaces, and recreational spaces for the neighborhood and surrounding area.

Endeavor Health, Chicagoland-based integrated health system, was announced as the Club's Naming Rights Partner in July 2024. Through an expanded partnership, the Fire and Endeavor Health are focused on building a top-down, fully integrated partnership centered around creating a next-level sports performance environment to support all levels of Chicago Fire soccer – from youth camps and clinics, all the way up to the Chicago Fire First Team. With an anticipated opening in January 2025, the Endeavor Health Performance Center will become synonymous with premier athletic training and will serve as a destination for community engagement.
