Despite being one of the richer teams in the MLS, Chicago Fire FC hasn’t had the success they hoped for the last couple of seasons.
However, while the salaries in the MLS can’t be compared to the top European leagues, the Chicago Fire FC is one of the best-paying clubs in the league.
The average player salary in Chicago Fire FC is $573,800, and the yearly wage bill for all the players combined is $18,284,000. This makes them the 6th highest-paying club in the MLS.
