Watching Bulls Games on Local Channels
The Chicago Bulls sit in the Chicago TV market. None of the upcoming games are on a channel that has a local station there, so every one of them needs a national network or a streaming pass.

These are the carriers our market data confirms, and it runs behind on smaller-market deals, so treat a missing service as unconfirmed rather than unavailable. Check your ZIP code with a service before you pay for a month. Full Chicago lineup: local channels in Chicago.
