US EditionWhite Sox, Blackhawks and Bulls Games to Air on Xfinity in Chicago Area Under New Deal
- The Chicago Sports Network announced it will end free over-the-air broadcasts in key markets starting Monday, June 9, 2025, shifting focus to cable and streaming in Chicago and nearby areas.
- This decision follows a new distribution agreement with Comcast, enabling CHSN to join Comcast's Xfinity Ultimate TV package after months of blackout and negotiation challenges.
- CHSN began operations in late 2024 through a collaboration between Chicago's Bulls, Blackhawks, White Sox, and Standard Media Group, offering fans access to more than 300 live professional games each year along with exclusive local sports content.
- Subscription options start at $19.99 monthly for one team’s games on CHSN.com and streaming platforms, while Comcast viewers must pay an additional $20 monthly for access on channel 200, confirming a shift toward premium tiers.
- The change aims to increase CHSN’s footprint and accessibility via pay-TV and streaming, though it may disappoint antenna-reliant fans who lose free access in several Illinois and Indiana markets.
