When is the next new episode of each Chicago show?

NBC has put out episode releases through Nov. 4. From Nov. 11 on, The Futon Critic's NBC listings keep all three Wednesday slots but mark the episodes TBA, so those weeks read "listed" until NBC names them. The listings run through Dec. 30 and have three holes: Wednesday, Nov. 25, the night before Thanksgiving, then Dec. 2 and Dec. 16, with no episode of any of the three listed on those dates. Dec. 30 is marked as a repeat. We'll add a reason only once NBC or a second source gives one. For the rest of the week, see the FBI and CIA page for Monday, the three NCIS shows for Tuesday, and Marshals and Tracker for Sunday.

NBC hasn't announced how many episodes any of the three shows will have this season; the network's releases list the counts as still to be determined.

What time and channel are the Chicago shows on?

All three are on NBC on Wednesdays. The order hasn't changed from last season: Med at 8, Fire at 9, P.D. at 10, Eastern and Pacific, with Central an hour earlier. Every NBC drama we track is collected on the NBC page.

NBC's current-season shows stream the day after they air on Peacock, per NBC's next-day arrangement as reported by Showbiz Cheat Sheet. Peacock's own show page didn't load for us, so the plan required isn't confirmed here; check peacocktv.com.

Why might a Chicago show not be on a Wednesday?

Through Nov. 18 the NBC listings have no gaps. After that, The Futon Critic's listings show no episode on Nov. 25, Dec. 2 or Dec. 16 and mark Dec. 30 as a repeat. Local NBC stations can also move network shows for regional sports or breaking news, so if the hour looks off, check your station's listings.
