Is Chicago Fire New Tonight?

Not just yet. NBC is closing out America’s Got Talent Season 20 this week, airing the live finale on Wednesday night from 8:00–11:00 p.m. ET. That means no new Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, or Chicago P.D. on September 24.

Renewal Status for One Chicago

Fans can rest easy—NBC officially renewed all three shows back in May 2025 for the 2025–2026 TV season. The One Chicago franchise remains a cornerstone of NBC’s primetime lineup.

When Will One Chicago Return?

Mark your calendars:

• Chicago Med – Season Premiere: Wednesday, October 1 at 8:00 p.m. ET

• Chicago Fire – Season Premiere: Wednesday, October 1 at 9:00 p.m. ET

• Chicago P.D. – Season Premiere: Wednesday, October 1 at 10:00 p.m. ET

All three episodes will stream the following day—Thursday, October 2—on Peacock.

How to Watch Chicago Fire, Med, and P.D.

The Bottom Line

The One Chicago franchise officially kicks off its new season on Wednesday, October 1, 2025—a night packed with back-to-back premieres. Whether you’re catching the action live on NBC or streaming the next day on Peacock, fans won’t have to wait much longer for the firefighters, doctors, and detectives of Chicago to return.
