The Red Stars will travel to Houston to play the Dash on April 15, then return for their home opener against NWSL rival Kansas City at Toyota Park on April 22.

Chicago is 3-0-1 in NWSL home openers, including a 1-0 win over Western New York Flash last year in the team's first full season at Toyota Park.

The team will close its exhibition schedule at Notre Dame on April 6.
