Chicago Bliss is one of two teams that were introduced to the Legends Football League in 2004 (the other being Dallas Desire).

Being defeated by New York Euphoria in the Eastern Final (one of the Semi-Finals which included a Skill Test, a 3-on-2 match and a dance competition) at Lingerie Bowl II in 2005 and again at Lingerie Bowl III in 2006, the team never reached the Final.

On September 4, 2009, the Chicago Bliss defeated the Miami Caliente 29-19 in the first ever game of the LFL at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. In February 2010, the Bliss finally reached the championship game at Lingerie Bowl VII but lost to the Los Angeles Temptation.

For the 2015 season, the Bliss are moving back to Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois.
