The scorching hot NBC drama is barreling back onto our TV screens, reuniting us with the brave first responders of Firehouse 51 as they put out fires in both their personal and professional lives.
Sandwiched between brand-new seasons of “Chicago Med” and “Chicago P.D.”, it’s the chilli beef filling in your Chicago Wednesday sub, and the below guide explains how to watch “Chicago Fire” season 14 online and stream every episode from anywhere with a VPN.
"Chicago Fire" season 14 premieres on NBC on Wednesday, October 1 at 9pm ET/PT.
• U.S. — NBC via Sling/Fubo and Peacock (following day)
• Canada — CityTV (7-day free trial) • Australia — Foxtel Now (10-day free trial)
• Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN risk-free
The dust has barely settled following season 13’s hugely consequential finale. Incoming Chief Dom Pascal (Dermot Mulroney) could have lost everything after being accused of the attempted murder of his wife’s killer in a car explosion, but Lieutenant Severide (Taylor Kinney) was rightly convinced of his innocence. And with Pascal resuming leadership, Herrmann willingly took a demotion, a move designed to let his pal Mouch finally accept the Lieutenant post for Engine 51.
As ever, they’ll be smouldering infernos, people trapped in collapsing buildings, and a woeful absence of calls to rescue kittens from trees. As season 14 plays out, that reality could put some serious pressure on Stella and Severide's relationship, particularly given the cliffhanger reveal that *spoiler alert* - Stella’s pregnant! No wonder she seems wary of Carver’s replacement, Sal Vasquez (Brandon Larracuente): a brash, impulsive risktaker whose bravado looks to cause a stir at the firehouse.
Yes, it's going to be another combustible mix of interpersonal dramas and adrenaline-fuelled disasters, and we explain in the following guide how to watch "Chicago Fire" season 14 online and stream every episode no matter where you are.
How to watch ‘Chicago Fire’ season 14 online in the U.S.
Our love of “Chicago Fire” is still burning. The hit procedural returns to NBC from Wednesday, October 1 at 9pm ET/PT, with new season 14 episodes airing most weeks (check the NBC schedules for any mid-season breaks).
NBC is a local broadcast network that can accessed with one of the best TV antennas or through a cable TV package.
Don’t have cable? There are various OTT options available. You can watch NBC on a live TV service, like Sling TV, Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu With Live TV, and DirecTV. Though you should check if the network’s available in your market area first.
Alternatively, episodes land on Peacock every Thursday, the day after their initial broadcast. Plans start from $10.99 a month. But if you’re looking for a live stream of NBC, you’ll have to splash out on a Peacock Premium Plus subscription.
Traveling when “Chicago Fire” airs? No problem. You can watch the show on your usual domestic streaming platform with a VPN. We recommend NordVPN.

Just because "Chicago Fire" season 14 isn't available everywhere doesn't mean you can't watch it if you're traveling away from home. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you are.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is NordVPN. It offers superb speeds and excellent customer service.

How to watch ‘Chicago Fire’ season 14 online in Canada
Fans in Canada can thank their lucky stars. They can watch “Chicago Fire” season 14 online the same day and time as their U.S. neighbors, with CityTV debuting new episodes from Wednesday, October 1, at 9pm ET/PT.
Those without cable, however, can stream the show with a subscription to CityTV Plus. You can do this directly through its website, or via Amazon Prime as an add-on channel. Either way, membership will cost CA$9.99 a month, but only after you've taken the 7-day free trial for a spin (new subscribers only).
NB: Americans or Canadians away from home can download a VPN like NordVPN (and save 70% with this deal) and continue to watch “Chicago Fire” from anywhere.
How to watch ‘Chicago Fire’ season 14 in Australia
The brave crew of Firehouse 51 are back in action, and Aussies can watch “Chicago Fire” season 14 on Foxtel One when it returns on Thursday, October 2 at 8.30 p.m. AEST.
If you don’t get cable, then the Foxtel Now Starter bundle includes Foxtel One, Fox8, Showcase and many more live channels, plus hit shows to watch on-demand. New subscribers won’t pay anything until the 10-day free trial ends. Only then will you pay AU$35 a month for the plan.
Currently overseas? You can still watch "Chicago Fire" season 14 from abroad as normal with a VPN.
Can I watch ‘Chicago Fire’ season 14 in the U.K.?
Bad news for fans across the pond: there’s no release date for “Chicago Fire” season 14 in the U.K.. In fact, new episodes don’t tend to air until the end of the show’s NBC run, which is likely to be quite some months from now.
When “Chicago Fire” is finally available, it’s broadcast live on Sky Witness, and available to stream with a NOW entertainment pass, which is where you'll currently find every episode from seasons 12 and 13.
An American abroad? A VPN will let you connect to your streaming services from anywhere. NordVPN is our recommended provider, and you can find out why with our in-depth NordVPN review.
