As Wednesday, February 4, 2026 rolls around, many fans of the One Chicago franchise might be asking the same question: Are there new episodes of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. airing tonight? The short answer is yes — but only for one last time this month before a scheduled break tied to the 2026 Winter Olympics coverage.
This Wednesday marks the final night of fresh episodes until March. That means if you’re hoping to catch new stories from your favorite doctors, firefighters, and detectives, tonight is the night. After tonight’s broadcast, NBC is pausing the regular dramas to make room for the Olympic broadcasts and special programming.
Let’s break down exactly what’s happening tonight — the episodes airing, what they’re about, and why they’re significant for fans.
📅 Tonight’s One Chicago Lineup — February 4, 2026
According to NBC’s schedule for Wednesday, February 4, here’s what viewers can expect to watch this evening:
-
8:00 PM ET — Chicago Med
Season 10, Episode 12 – “Split Your Guts”
This will be the medical-drama’s latest installment, bringing intense hospital stories and dramatic cases to the screen. -
9:00 PM ET — Chicago Fire
Season 14, Episode 12 – “Coming in Hot”
In this episode, Firehouse 51 faces challenging situations — with rescue calls and emotional moments that keep viewers on edge. -
10:00 PM ET — Chicago P.D.
Season 13, Episode 12 – “Missing”
This police procedural installment dives into a mysterious missing-person case that links officers to unresolved questions from the past.
These are brand-new episodes that continue their respective season storylines — with character development, dramatic stakes, and cliffhangers that are typical of the One Chicago universe.
📌 But After Tonight — A Scheduled Hiatus
While all three shows are new tonight, that doesn’t mean they’ll continue next week. In fact, after February 4, NBC will pull Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. from the primetime schedule for several weeks.
Why the break? The answer lies in the network’s broadcast commitments.
Winter Olympics Takeover
NBC holds the U.S. broadcast rights for the 2026 Winter Olympics, which are taking place in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Olympic coverage will occupy a huge chunk of the evening primetime schedule starting Friday, February 6 — and because of that, regular scripted dramas have to take a break.
This means that even though Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. usually air every Wednesday night, they will not air new episodes on February 11, February 18, or February 25 — all dates that fall squarely in the middle of Olympic coverage.
📆 When the Shows Return
If you want new episodes after the break, here’s what you need to know:
-
All three shows are expected to come back with new episodes on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
-
To make the return more exciting, NBC is scheduling a special One Chicago crossover event night.
A “crossover event” means that Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. will all tie their stories together around one major plot that unfolds over the course of three consecutive episodes on the same night. It’s like a three-hour television event — often compared to a mini-movie — that brings characters from all three series together in a shared crisis.
For the March 4 crossover, NBC plans something centered around an aviation emergency, where Firehouse 51 and the other Chicago teams are called in to respond to a crisis that spins into something more dangerous and complex.
🎉 Why This Matters to Fans
This February 4 lineup is a bit bittersweet for One Chicago viewers:
✔️ New episodes tonight
✔️ Important developments likely in each series
✔️ Chance to see unresolved storylines unfold before a long break
But on the flip side:
⏸️ No new episodes for most of February
⏳ Season momentum is paused
📺 Fans will be switching from dramas to sports coverage on NBC
That’s a big shift — and it’s something fans have had to get used to in past Winter Olympic years. Networks often prioritize Olympic coverage because it draws massive audiences, meaning regular shows are temporarily bumped.
Still, regular viewers of Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. will want to tune in tonight — not only for the brand-new content, but because it will leave them eagerly anticipating the March return.
💡 Streaming Options
If you miss the broadcast or want to rewatch any episodes later, all new episodes typically become available on Peacock, NBC’s streaming platform, the day after they air. That means episodes from tonight should be on Peacock on Thursday, February 5.
✨ Final Thoughts
So, to answer the big question:
👉 Yes — Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, and Chicago P.D. are new tonight on February 4, 2026.
But after tonight, NBC is putting the shows on pause until March 4 because of the Winter Olympics and special scheduling.
If you’re a fan of medical drama, heroic firefighters, or gritty police investigations — tonight is your last chance this month to catch new episodes. And when the franchise returns, it’s doing so with a bang: a One Chicago crossover night that many fans have been eagerly awaiting.
