The Chicago Blackhawks play in the National Hockey League. NHL games run on national windows across ESPN, ESPN+, TNT, and Max — plus regional sports networks for in-market broadcasts. ESPN+ carries every out-of-market regular-season game.
Most in-market Chicago Blackhawks games air on Chicago Home Sports Network (Chicago). Cord-cutters can stream Chicago Home Sports Network live on Fubo, which carries the network in-market — your home ZIP determines availability and Fubo confirms it at signup.
The same channel is the local home of the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Bulls in Chicago, so one subscription covers all of them.
