With a background in sports and entertainment reporting, he’s covered everything from Broadway to college football. He cut the cord in 2014 and has a sharp eye for streaming trends and a soft spot for Hallmark movies.

Chicago Sports Network is a direct-to-consumer streaming service that offers live games and other sports content to viewers in the Chicagoland area. Subscribers will be able to watch live games from the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bulls, and Chicago White Sox without subscribing to a cable or satellite package.

The service has a handful of subscription options. The Chicago Sports Network’s streaming service costs $20 per month for a plan focused on one team, or you can pay $30 monthly to access games and other programming for all three teams. Viewers can also pay annually for the three-team package, which costs $350, a savings of $10 over what viewers would pay to stay month-to-month with that plan.

The CHSN streaming service also provides access to the Chicago Sports Network linear channel, but only via the three-team plan. One-team subscribers will not be able to access a livestream of CHSN with their plans.

In addition to more than 300 live games from the Blackhawks, Bulls, and White Sox each year, the Chicago Sports Network streaming service carries a wide range of programming from the linear network. This includes titles like “The Chicago Lead,” “The Big College Football Show,” “The Big Pro Football Show,” and a simulcast of Chicago’s top morning radio show “Mully and Haugh.” Fans will be able to enjoy content featuring on-air CHSN talent, including Jake Butt, Joshua Perry, Eddie George, Brooke Fletcher, Tim Brown and more, bringing expert commentary and storytelling to life.
