The 2014 Chicago Fire season was the club's 19th year of existence, as well as their 17th season in Major League Soccer and their 17th consecutive year in the top-flight of American soccer.

Chicago Fire began the regular season on March 9, 2014 with an away match against Chivas USA. The Men in Red concluded the regular season on October 24, 2014 with a home match against Houston Dynamo.

Chicago Fire finished the season with a 6-10-18 record and missed the playoffs for the fourth time in the past five seasons. With 18 drawn matches Fire set a new MLS record for most ties in a season, beating the previous record of 16 ties set in 2011 by Chicago Fire and New York Red Bulls.[1]

After 12 years with the team, the midfielder Logan Pause has retired at the end of the season. Pause has spent all of his professional career playing for Chicago Fire.[2][3][4] On November 3, 2014 Logan Pause was named Vice President of the Chicago Fire Soccer Club.[5]
