Racing Louisville vs Chicago Stars — NWSL Live Score

A young lion finds its roar against an established matriarch this Saturday when Racing Louisville W welcomes Chicago Stars W to Lynn Family Stadium. This NWSL affair pits a club celebrating its recent ascent against a storied institution charting a new course.

Racing Louisville FC, still relatively fresh to the NWSL landscape after joining in 2021, etched a significant milestone in their short history last season. Their 2025 playoff appearance signaled a coming of age, transforming a promising expansion side into a genuine contender. At Lynn Family Stadium, the Kentucky club shares its intimate 15,304-seat home with USL Championship team Louisville City FC, creating one of the league’s most vibrant match-day atmospheres for the hosts.

Across the pitch stand the Chicago Stars, a team with deep roots in American women’s soccer. Formerly the Chicago Red Stars, this re-energized club holds a legacy few can rival. A founding member of the NWSL in 2013, the Stars boast the league's longest active playoff streak, an eight-year run between 2015 and 2022 that speaks to an unparalleled consistency. The Chicago club reached the NWSL Championship final in 2019 and followed that with a Challenge Cup runners-up finish in 2020. Now operating under new ownership, Chicago Stars FC continues to write new chapters in its extensive history.

Despite the Stars' illustrious past, the head-to-head record between these two clubs tells a different story. In their four previous meetings, Racing Louisville holds a commanding advantage, securing three victories. Chicago has yet to register a win against their purple-clad opponents, with only one draw preventing a clean sweep for Racing.

The vibrant atmosphere of Lynn Family Stadium awaits another compelling NWSL encounter as Racing Louisville faces Chicago Stars. This match offers both sides an opportunity to further define their season and make a statement on the national stage.
