A new sports network, Chicago Sports Network (CHSN), is set to launch in October to carry games from three Chicago pro teams: the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox. The network will air over 300 live games annually from these teams, along with pre- and postgame coverage, and 24-hour multisport programming.
CHSN is a joint venture between the three teams and Standard Media, with broadcast studios located at both Chicago’s United Center and Guaranteed Rate Field. The network will kick off by airing Blackhawks and Bulls preseason games in October, with White Sox games set to be shown starting in 2025. The remaining White Sox games in 2024 will still be broadcast on NBC Sports Chicago.
Pending league approvals, CHSN will reach viewers in most of Illinois, as well as parts of Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The network has secured agreements with traditional cable providers, streaming services, and will also be available as free, over-the-air broadcast.
