Three of the city’s biggest sports teams – the Blackhawks, Bulls and White Sox – have a new home on television, giving fans a new way to watch them.

On October 1, the Chicago Sports Network officially replaced NBC Sports Chicago. The best part is that the channel is available over-the-air for free with a simple antenna. Starting this month it’s extremely easy – and cheap! – to watch your favorite teams on TV.

How to watch Chicago Sports Network on TV

Currently, the new network has signed deals with three pay TV providers – DirecTV, Astound Broadband and FuboTV. It can be found on DirecTV channel 665 and Astound channels 685 and 576.

However, Chicago Sports Network has not yet signed a deal with other popular providers such as Comcast and YouTube TV, but things could change as the new company continues to publicly seek additional distribution partners.

Luckily, fans can catch all the action even if they don’t subscribe to DirecTV, Astound Broadband or FuboTV. The network is available over-the-air in the Chicagoland area on channels 62.2 and 62.3. So buy an antenna to watch sports for free!
