Chicago Fire is on NBC every Wednesday as part of NBC's One Chicago lineup. You can stream the show online too, with either a subscription to Peacock (from $5.99) or through an OTT platform like FuboTV. And, if you’re out of the country when Chicago Fire season 12 airs, then you can use a VPN to connect to your preferred streaming service from anywhere.


Chicago Fire season : preview

The beefy filling in NBC’s One Chicago sandwich – nestled between all-new episodes of Chicago Med and Chicago PD. – Chicago Fire finds the personnel of Firehouse 51 facing more high-stakes situations and scalding hot relationship drama. Some major changes are coming.

No spoilers for the latest outing here, but viewers have been anxiously awaiting answers to to those season 11 cliffhangers. For one, Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) running off to attend “the best arson investigation training program in the world”, then just vanishing: his mysterious absence raising alarm bells for his firefighter wife Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). Meanwhile, “Mouch” (Christian Stolte) was bleeding out when we last saw him, after a domestic terror incident left him in dire need of emergency surgery. Has he managed to pull through?

Of the new season, showrunner Andrea Newman confirmed that, “There have been big changes, and the 51 gang is on a rollercoaster ride throughout the [first] episode trying to navigate all of it.

These “big changes” are likely to include Kara Killmer’s departure from the show. As Paramedic Sylvie Brett, it’s likely her character will abscond to Oregon with her child and, should she accept his marriage proposal, her fiancé Lieutenant Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer). Firehouse 51 will sadly bid farewell to Alberto Rosende too. But it's not all loss: the cast is getting an exciting new addition in the form of Rome Flynn (The Bold and the Beautiful), who plays “a former amateur boxer with a dark past.”

We explain in full below how to watch Chicago Fire season 12 online – and for free from wherever you are in the world.
