Chicago fire Chicago med ncis season 23
It was only a few weeks ago that you stated on here that Chicago Pd and Chicago Fire was returning in Spring 2026 to the Uk,now its Summer 2026?Why bother putting anything if your clueless until you have a definitive return date?
Because at the time, Sky were saying Spring, and then they moved it to Summer…
Probably best to wait then until you have as i stated a definitive date now,I wouldnt be giving them a second chance to make me look like a fool.
Now moved to “SUMMER 2026” with no exact date shown.
This is beyond ridiculous now. Sky are an absolute joke.
Despite the ‘Coming April’ trailers, clearly it’s not now coming in April. No suggestion when it’s coming at all.
Sky at their most frustrating.
Even with the Winter break (7 weeks) and Winter Olympics (3 weeks) the USA only had 10 Wednesdays without an episode.
This is our 16th week since the last episode – Season 14 episode 7 “Pierce the vein” – was broadcast on 26th December.
Incidentally. That episode “Pierce the vein” episode 7 was the episode that the US saw in the same week that we saw episode 1.
USA resumed broadcast and are up to Season 14, episode 18.
It’s been so long here that we’re having to watch the previous half of the series to be able to remember what happened and where we were up to. We had to do the same between seasons (series) because it had been so long. It’s beyond a joke.
We’re missing out and having the experience spoiled because all the One Chicago based social media pages are all from USA and all the web presence is showing stills, clips and headlines from stuff we’re still months from se eing here.

So there is a realistic chance that the whole season will have finished in USA before the UK starts to view the remaining two thirds of it.
Which means the next season will start in USA after the 6 month summer break – even with a delay for the World Cup – either just as, or even before the UK have caught up.
I thought we’d done very well getting Season 14 just a month after it started in USA and just a few weeks after season 13 finished here. Although this was deserved after waiting more than double the usual wait between seasons 12 and 13.
However, despite starting a month later than the USA, and therefore hitting the midseason break a month after the USA, we are waiting significantly longer than a month for it to return from that break. Why? Season in the USA has not only returned, but is almost over. In fact, USA returned from Midseason break just 2 weeks after the UK reached it. Technically, we could have just had a two week break before returning. Or certainly the month.
The season was obviously fully recorded and released because, the week after our last episode (season 14, ep 7), our TV guides were showing the name of episode 8 (in fact, the printed Christmas/New Year TV magazine showed it as scheduled for the Friday as usual.
So what’s the delay with Sky/Now?
It did return in the USA, but then took the whole of Feb off due to the Winter Olympics (they stopped at eps 12). Sky didn’t want to bring it back for a couple of episodes, then have to take it off again. Yes, they could probably have brought it back in March, but they also have to work it around the other things on the schedule and consider when the best time is for airing it for their ad buys etc… It’s basically the Olympics which has pushed everything later this year across the board.
Season 14 has restarted in the USA after the mid season break. Anyone know when it’s back on Sky?
Don’t know yet. Not popped up on Sky’s advanced listings. They may be waiting a little to see if the Winter Olympics puts big gaps in the US schedule, so the UK can remove those gaps, but we don’t know yet.
That’s probably a good shout. I hadn’t realised that NBC are the broadcaster for the Winter Olympics in the USA. Seems there will be another hiatus in the US
Frustrated waiting for season 13. Get your finger out Sky!
Hi my Name is Kim can u tell me when chicago fire season 11 is back on in the uk on sky please
Hi I liv in the uk and can not wait for session 11
Can the information above be updated please. The next new season in the UK, like the States, will be Season 10 (which appears to have started filming either last week or this week, based on website Reel Chicago).
Strange why on my Sky Q box, I wasn’t able to download the last three or four episodes of the most recent seasons of Chicago Med, Fire and P.D. on Sky’s Catch-up service on Sky Witness. Yet I was able to download the latest new episodes (at the time) of Magnum P.I., which aired on fellow Sky channel Sky One, and Hudson & Rex on Alibi. Some helpful advice would be appreciated, instead of just saying something along the lines of “I was able to download the latest episodes of the Chicago shows on my Sky Q box/it works on my Sky Q box” (which comes across as bragging), instead of offering some helpful, respectful advice.
Just balancing things out.
Hi please can you tell me how you download season 14 Chicago fire, because I can only watch up to episode 7
I have watched Chicago Fire since it first aired in the UK. It was televised on Channel 5 and haven’t seen another series since Series 3. We haven’t got satellite TV so have we got to have Satellite to watch one of our favourite shows?
Either get Amazon prime or Now tv.
How can I watch season seven Chicago fire free x
My favourite Chicago fire season 1 to 6.
when is Chicago fire coming back onto fiveusa? think I have only seen 2 series?
When does season 7 start in the uk of Chicago fire please x
Still no date from Sky yet. It was Dec last year, but previous years they’ve held onto it until June/July, so hard to predict. We’ve assuming it’ll be late Autumn/early Winter like last year, but they could decide to boot it to it’s old June timeslot… Hopefully not though!
When does Chicago fire season 7 start in the uk
NBC released the official synopsis, promotional photos and preview for Season 6 Episode 17 of Chicago Fire – Put White on Me, airing April 5th 2018.
I love all of these series, chacargo fire, chacargo pd and the law.
But….. why have cross over episodes if your not going to air them at the same time?
This has now happened a few times with this series, who do I moan to about this?
Because they are all on different channels in the UK!
Sky community forum states Chicago fire Season 5 launch date is Tuesday 4th July
Great Cannot wait all it needs is Chicago PD back on as well
Can’t wait will there be a season 6
Blindspot season 2 resumes on Sky Living on Thursday 13th April with I assume episode 16. So if there are no more breaks and there are 22 episodes in total, then it should finish on Thursday 25th May. So my guess for when Chicago Fire season 5 will start on Sky Living, is Thursday 1st June (Blindspot season 2 I think started the week after Chicago Fire season 4 finished, last November).
my virgin recordings is showing s5 is on 5usa at 9pm on 23rd march
That’s wrong. It’s season 2, eps 12 on 5USA. Chicago Fire premieres on Sky Living.
I have already watched all of the episodes I’m just waiting for episode 6
oo where did you watch it on
Somewhere which we won’t allow posted on here, as it’s an illegal streaming site. ;)
I’ve just finished watching season 3 of Chicago fire on sky anyone know if season 4 will be put on?
It’s already been on Sky. Have to wait for the reruns
They are adding s4 now episode 1-5 on
Season 2 of Chicago Fire premiered on 5th January 2017 on 5USA and will show each episode in the series every Thursday at 9pm.
Chicago fire season 4 back on the 9 of June
I think it did, but did Blindspot season 1 replace Chicago Fire season 3 on Sky Living late last year?
when is Chicago fire back on
i watching all the chicago fires but i have got to series 3 and on catch up i cant get 1 to 5 episodes what can i do xxx
get the DVD
Watch on now tv they have all seasons to Chicago Fire on there
On Virgin Media’s EPG it shows two episodes of Bones on 23rd June at 9pm and 10pm.
8pm shows TBA
Yup, on their twitter feed. Premièring on 23 June at 9pm with a double bill.
i hope thsi is true as i ahve just look on sky living website they is no news on there and i ahve email them and they said still no news
It is true. It came from Sky Living’s twitter. I wouldn’t worry about them saying ‘no news’. That’s not uncommon with Sky Living. The departments don’t always seem to talk to each other. ;)
Sky Living’s continue to prevaricate on the return of Chicago Fire. Last week its return was “Very very close”. This week it’s “we’re still working on it and hope to have some news soon”.
Horse muck. Surely they know their schedule for the next couple of months by now. Suspect it’s going to have to be online or wait for the dvd.
I don’t understand why season 3 aired in September 2014 in America yet Sky Living are still messing around with repeats!
Don’t think for a minute that Sky Living have any intention in airing season3.
I saw season 2 first episode was on tv at 1:50 am so i never watched it as i assumed it would be on at tea time like last but im searching and its not there
There is going to be an annoucement tomorrow according to Sky Living!!! Fingers crossed!
Why won’t you tell us when Chicago fire is coming back stop messing about
I wish Sky Living would get their fingers out on Chicago Fire.
When Can we expect to see the latest series of Chicago Hope in the UK
Chicago P.D is starting on 5USA in the next couple of weeks but still nothing from Chicago Fire, it’s on episode 19 in the USA so it will soon be finished. Really bad management from Sky Living!! However I’ve been watching it on this link …. [Removed – Do not post links to illegal streaming sites]
Well said Christine, this is another show that needs to come back urgently. I need to know what has happened in that explosion, and also Matt has propsed to Gabby!!!. It always goes off at the best bit, so fustrating. It needs to come back to the U.K. soon x
This aired in September in the USA, come on sky get your act together!
I cannot believe that’s its been on in the US for months now, what’s stopping it been shown in the UK??? Extremely frustrating and really bad management, other shows are often shown in the UK a few days after the US, so why not Chicago Fire! It will be a year before it comes back at this rate! Very unhappy :-[
I’ve emailed Living TV a couple of times and they won’t even confirm if they have the rights to broadcast season 3.
Beginning to wonder if we will ever get to see it without chasing it down online or worse – purchasing the DVD! Bah!
I need my Lt Severide fix!! ;)
Please bring back chicago fire missing it so much bring it back now i need my favourite show hurry up
BACK ON NBC IN U.S MARCH 3 SO YOU MAY GET IT SOON
when is it going to start? it said before it was early 2015 now they have changed it to summer 2015. i iwsh they would just release it so we can watch it!!!!!
Since season 3 hasn’t been shown in the uk yet maybe they are trying to get chicago pd aswell so they can show them on same night due to cross overs etc between the 2 programme’s.
When is it back on sky living
When is season 3 on I’m missing my Chicago fire.. Also when is Chicago pd back on as well
