Chicago Sports Network Launches Direct-to-Consumer Streaming Amid Comcast Standoff

The new service offers live streaming of Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox games as negotiations with Comcast remain unresolved.

  • Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) is replacing NBC Sports Chicago as the new regional sports network for the Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox.
  • CHSN's direct-to-consumer streaming service launches Friday, providing access to all games and additional programming for $19.99 per team or $29.99 for all teams.
  • The network is available on DirecTV, FuboTV, U-Verse, and over-the-air channels but has yet to secure a deal with Comcast.
  • Comcast demands CHSN move to a higher-priced tier, causing a delay in reaching a carriage agreement.
  • Season-ticket holders for the Bulls and Blackhawks receive free streaming access for their respective teams for the remainder of the season.
