The undefeated Chicago Hounds host Old Glory DC at SeatGeek Stadium for the first Monday night game of the 2026 Major League Rugby season in the second semifinal, with a spot in the 2026 Championship Game up for grabs, aslo in this stadium in a week’s time!

The Chicago Hounds wrapped up their 2026 regular season with a big win over the Free Jacks in Quincy, both ending the reigning champs’ season, and securing the first perfect season in MLR history, with a 10-0 record and the maximum of 50pts in the standings. Old Glory DC meanwhile, squeaked into their 4th successive postseason with yet another sub-500 record, finishing in 4th with a 4-6 record. However, the Flags came closest to handing a defeat to the Hounds in their 32-33 clash back in Round 10, and have proven difficult for the Hounds to deal with in both of their matchups in 2026. The Hounds have a home final waiting for them with a victory, but can the Flags shock the league and qualify for their first final?
