The 2011 Chicago Red Stars season was the club's third season, and the only season it competed in the Women's Premier Soccer League.

Major events

After the 2010 season, the Red Stars could not afford the Women's Professional Soccer league's security bond, and on April 7, 2011, the club announced that it could not return for the 2011 WPS season.[1]

To continue the brand name the team dropped down one level to the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) to continue playing for the 2011 season with hope of returning to WPS in 2012.
