fuboTV Now Streaming NBC Sports Chicago in 4K to Watch White Sox, Bulls, and Blackhawks

Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago Blackhawks fans can now stream select games in 4K with fuboTV.

Starting with last night’s Blue Jays at White Sox game, fuboTV will stream select games on NBC Sports Chicago in 4K to customers in Chicago and the surrounding areas. New customers will need the fuboTV Elite Plan ($79.99) to stream in 4K, while some existing viewers already have it included in their plan.

fuboTV joins YouTube TV which began offering NBC Sports Chicago in 4K in March as part of the $19.99 per month 4K Plus Add-On.

fuboTV has been streaming sports in 4K since the 2018 World Cup. They now broadcast select NFL, college football, and college basketball games on FOX and FS1, along with Premier League action on NBC and USA Network.

This isn’t the first Regional Sports Network that fuboTV has added in 4K. Last month, they added NESN 4K to stream Boston Red Sox games to customers in the New England market.

While not all games on NBC Sports Chicago will be available in 4K, they will carry most home games including the White Sox upcoming series against the Orioles and Twins. Come this fall, the channel will also be streaming Bulls and Blackhawks games in 4K. NBC Sports Chicago is also carried in 4K by DIRECTV, but not DIRECTV STREAM.

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, 25 of the top 35 cable channels, and regional sports networks (RSNs). In total, you should expect to pay about $91.99 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 $6/month.

You can add the fubo Extra ($8) to add ~43 channels including Cooking Channel and GSN.
