If you’re looking to watch the Chicago Blackhawks take their rebuild to the next level in 2024-25, you made a good decision. This team may not fare too well in the points column this season, but they will bring the Hawks name back to a little more relevance than in years past, so that’s at least a decent starting point. 

So, other than going to the arena and cheering them on, how can you tune in to all 82 Blackhawks games this season? NBC Sports Chicago is the primary TV outlet for the Hawks until September 30th, but the Chicago Sports Network will be taking over shortly afterward starting on October 1st. Also, fuboTV provides an excellent alternative if you’re more interested in streaming the games. 

fuboTV has live NHL games on ESPN which you can stream from your phone, television, and all your favorite devices. This is a service that broadcasts live TV over the internet, no cable is required. Watch your favorite teams, network shows, news, and movies on 100+ channels. Plus on-demand entertainment including full TV series. fuboTV is currently available in the United States, Canada, and Spain.

Further, if you’re an out-of-market fan, your best bet to get as much access to Blackhawks games as possible is to roll with something like ESPN+. Also, always be sure to check out the national broadcast schedule when it’s released, as it will give you a sound lineup of when the Hawks are on other outlets like ESPN, TNT, ABC, and the NHL Network. 

Yes, the Chicago Blackhawks are worth watching again

If you’ve been following Blackhawks hockey recently, it’s been nothing short of a mess, considering just how often they’ve been down by multiple goals before the game’s first 20 minutes even ended. Chicago has been one of the most frustrating teams to watch recently, but that will change this season. 

An active free agency to keep putting pieces around the youngster Connor Bedard will lead to more wins and more points, meaning there’s a great chance the Hawks will climb out of the Central Division’s cellar this season. 

If you’ve been a fan for a while, it’s a good time to start following Blackhawks hockey again if the team’s recent performances made you turn off the TV, laptop, tablet, or phone for a while. And if you’re new to one of the league’s most iconic franchises, this season of hope will motivate you to keep following the team as they progress.
