The Chicago Sports Network (CHSN) has announced a new deal with Fubo that will make the regional sports channel available to subscribers of the streaming TV service.
On Friday, Fubo placed CHSN in its base programming package, making it instantly available to subscribers within CHSN’s broadcast footprint, and unlocking the network in time for the Chicago Bulls match-up with the Milwaukee Bucks.
In addition to that NBA game, Fubo subscribers within the CHSN footprint will also get access to games from the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago White Sox, along with pre-game and post-gave coverage produced by the network.

“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,” said CHSN president Jason Coyle. “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 is the second streaming TV provider to offer CHSN since it launched earlier this month. DirecTV Stream has been carrying CHSN from the moment it started airing live sports in the Chicagoland area.
Several cable TV operators also offer CHSN — but, notably, not Comcast, which is the main cable TV provider in the city of Chicago itself. There, sports fans must use an antenna to watch live sports programming through CHSN, or watch games by subscribing to Fubo or DirecTV Stream.
