Despite pulling off a magical last-minute ceremony, Severide and Kidd’s wedded bliss could end in tragedy after an SUV trailed the amorous pair back to their cabin in the season 10 finale.
The affair between Chief Hawkins (Jimmy Nicholas) and paramedic Violet Mikami (Hanako Greensmith) sputtered out after Emma’s attempt to blackmail them both, although some heat remains between Mikami and her former beau Blake Gallo (Alberto Rosende).
Elsewhere, Sylvie suggested calling time on her relationship with Matthew Casey, asking, “how much longer can we keep this up?” With her settled in Chicago and him fighting forest fires in Oregon, it’s probably the last we’ve seen of OG fan favorite Casey, played by Jesse Spencer.
But don't be sad, because regular cast members including Eamonn Walker, Joe Minoso, Daniel Kyri, and Christian Stolte are back, while Jake Lockett (Hawaii Five-O) will join the crew as Sam Carver, Kidd’s former friend and classmate.
You can aways rely on Chicago Fire to bring the heat. So, keep reading as we explain how to watch Chicago Fire season 11 online and stream every episode from anywhere.

How to watch Chicago Fire season 11 online in Canada
Canadian viewers can catch brand-new Chicago Fire season 11 on CityTV from Wednesday, September 21 at 9pm ET / PT.
Although some content is available to stream on CityTV free and without signing in, chances are you’ll need your TV provider credentials to watch new Chicago Fire live online or on-demand. That’s certainly the case for seasons 7 through 9, which are currently available on the platform – accessible either through the worldwide web, or the CityTV Now app on iOS and Android devices.
Outside of Canada? Use a VPN to gain access to all the content you'd normally stream at home.
Can I watch Chicago Fire season 11 in Australia?
No broadcast date has been announced Down Under for Chicago Fire Season 11 yet. But given that FOX ONE debuted season 10 roughly three months after the show's American debut – and that’s a pattern we've seen for multiple new seasons – we’d expect new Chicago Fire to begin its broadcast on FOX ONE about December 2022.
When that happens, a Foxtel Now subscription will provide you with live access to FOX ONE. In addition to the $25 Essential base pack, however, you’ll need to purchase the Drama add-on for another $10 a month. Though if you’re a new customer, there’s a tasty 10-day free trial to be enjoyed beforehand.
As detailed above, if you’re abroad then you’ll struggle to connect to any of the streaming services you usually use. The solution? Try using a VPN as per our guide above.
Can I watch Chicago Fire season 11 in the UK?
There’s a wait in store for UK fans too, and it's typically three to four months long. For example, season 10 premiered in America on September 22, 2021, but didn’t get its UK release until the start of January 2022.
When the time comes, you’ll either want to bag yourself a subscription to Sky TV, where Chicago Fire season 11 will air on the Sky Witness channel. Check out our Sky TV deals and packages, or grab an entertainment pass for £9.99 a month on the streaming service NOW.
Away from home? Anyone in the UK from a country where Chicago Fire season 11 is being broadcast can tune into their home coverage with the help of a good VPN.
