The Great Chicago Fire: A Netflix Odyssey (Where We Both Get Burned...Maybe)
Ah, Chicago Fire. The show that brings the heat (literally) and the feels (also literally, because let's be honest, firefighters are dreamy). You're here, probably with a hankering to binge-watch the brave souls of Firehouse 51, but there's a nagging question flickering in your mind: Can I watch Chicago Fire on Netflix?
Fear not, fellow fire enthusiast! Let's grab our extinguishers and hose down this mystery.
Hold on to Your Hose: Here's the Deal
Bad news first: As of today, May 8th, 2024, Chicago Fire isn't available on Netflix. We all shed a tear (or maybe that's just the smoke from that high-rise fire Casey and his crew are tackling).
But don't despair! There's more to the streaming story than meets the eye.
Alternative Fire Stations: Where to Watch Chicago Fire
Here's where things get interesting. You have a few options to get your Chicago Fire fix, depending on your tolerance for smoke alarms and subscription fees.
-
Amazon Prime Video: For the Prime members out there, you can suit up and head over to Amazon Prime Video. Seasons are available for purchase, so you can be your own fire chief and decide which seasons to add to your watchlist.
-
FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and Other Live TV Options: If you're rocking a live TV subscription with fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, or similar services, you might be in luck! Check your channel lineup to see if NBC is included – that's where Chicago Fire blazes to life each week.

The NBC Website and App: For the free spirits (or those short on cash), there's a firefighter-sized beacon of hope. The latest episodes of Chicago Fire are available to stream for free on the NBC website and app. Just be prepared for occasional commercial breaks (those pesky flames need funding too, you know?).

Remember, flames may flicker, but the bravery of the Chicago Fire Department burns eternally. (And also, on other streaming platforms.)
