The newest regional sports network in the United States is adding another major distribution partner. The Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) announced on Friday, Oct. 25 that it had struck a new deal with the live TV streaming service Fubo, which will allow all Fubo customers living in the Chicago area to watch non-national broadcasts of Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bulls games, as well as Chicago White Sox contests starting in 2025.

Key Details:

  • CHSN is available in all Fubo packages, including its base Pro plan.
  • DIRECTV has already agreed to distribute CHSN, which is available on over-the-air channels as well.
  • CHSN still has not agreed to a deal with Comcast, one of Chicago’s largest pay-TV distributors.

CHSN is now available to all Fubo subscribers living in the Chicago market. The network is available in every Fubo package, including its Pro plan, which starts at $95 per month including the regional sports network fee that customers will have to pay.

“Fubo continues to deliver more access for sports fans to watch their favorite teams, and they have made it clear that Chicago sports and their fans are an important part of that growth,” CHSN president Jason Coyle said. “As we continue to aim to be on every platform where our fans watch, we are excited about the opportunity the Fubo platform provides our fans through their flexible billing terms and availability everywhere.”

Fubo has made the availability of regional sports networks (RSNs) a hallmark of its service. It carries RSNs in most areas of the United States, including FanDuel Sports Networks and NBC Sports channels as well.

CHSN is continuing to add distribution partners to help it reach more and more Chicago customers. The channel's content is available for free over-the-air (OTA) on WJYS channels 62.2 and 62.3 in and around Chicago.

DIRECTV is also carrying CHSN, becoming the first pay-TV company to team with the channel. CHSN has not agreed to a carriage deal with Comcast yet, however. Reports indicate that, as it does with other RSNs, Comcast wants to put CHSN on a higher service tier, which the channel’s co-owner Standard Media Group has resisted.

Fubo

Fubo is a live TV streaming service with about 90 top channels that start at $79.99 per month. This plan includes local channels, 19 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). In total, you should expect to pay about $94.99 per month, after adding in their RSN Fee. Fubo was previously known as “fuboTV.”

…

The streaming service does not carry channels from WarnerMedia-owned (CNN, TBS, and TNT), A+E (A&E, History Channel, and Lifetime), and AMC Networks (AMC, BBC America, and WE tv). So, in our experience, if you are looking to watch the NBA, which heavily plays on TBS and TNT, you may want to look at another live TV streaming provider.

But for other sports fans, especially those who want to stream local sports, Fubo is a great option in our opinion. They recently announced adding Bally Sports RSNs to their channel lineup and it is the least expensive option to get RSNs in many markets like Altitude, AT&T Sports, Fox Sports, Marquee, MSG, NBC Sports, and NESN. (Take a look at the full list of Fubo’s sports channels.)

Fubo also includes MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NFL RedZone , NHL Network, and beIN Sports (which is not available on most services). You can add Fox Soccer Plus as part of the International Sports Plus add-on for $7/month.

You can add the Fubo Extra ($8) to add ~38 channels including GSN.
