‘Chicago Fire’ Season 15 Episode 7 Release Date, Time, Where to Watch and Preview

The next chapter of ‘Chicago Fire’ arrives on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, with an installment titled “No Love Lost,” which was written by Amelia Swedeen. It lands at a moment when the long running NBC drama is adjusting to a new creative direction and a handful of cast changes.

Here is what is currently known about the ‘Chicago Fire’ release date, the air time, the streaming options and the preview, along with some context on where the show stands under its new leadership.

‘Chicago Fire’ Release Date and Air Time for ‘No Love Lost’

The episode is listed for Wednesday, November 18, 2026. The current run of episodes began on October 7 on NBC at 9 p.m. ET, with new episodes airing weekly on Wednesdays. That means the next episode should arrive in its usual slot.

The episode follows “Over the Edge,” which is set for November 11 and was written by Christina Nieves. Before that, the 300th episode, titled “Three Hundred,” aired on November 4. That episode centers on Firehouse 51 responding to a complex hostage situation.

Looking further ahead, listings point to December 2 and December 9 for the two episodes that follow. The current season has been confirmed at 21 episodes, so viewers have a long stretch of firehouse stories still to come.

Where to Watch ‘Chicago Fire’ on NBC and Peacock

The simplest way to watch is live on television. Viewers can tune in on NBC through an antenna or a cable package, and the network has been using the 9/8c Wednesday slot for the new episodes.

Anyone who misses the broadcast has a quick fix. The show streams the following day on Peacock, with new episodes typically appearing on Thursdays at around 6 a.m. ET. Peacock also carries the previous 14 seasons, which gives lapsed viewers an easy path back in.

Viewers outside the United States have a few options as well. In Canada the show airs at 9 p.m. ET on Citytv, and new episodes are also available on Citytv+. In Australia, earlier seasons are on 7plus and the new episodes are expected to stream there after the run concludes on NBC.

What the ‘No Love Lost’ Preview Reveals

The official synopsis begins with a call that sounds routine until it is not. Firehouse 51 responds when an old rundown RV explodes in a local neighborhood, leaving two people injured. The explosion sets the story in motion before the team begins asking questions.

The investigative angle comes next. Vasquez and Kidd discover something suspicious while looking into the cause. That puts two characters in the lead of a cause and origin story, which gives the episode a different texture from a standard rescue.

The show has leaned on mysteries earlier in the run. In “A Perfect Arson,” the FBI recruits Severide when an arson is staged to cover up the kidnapping of a judge’s daughter. Whether the RV explosion connects to anything larger has not been revealed. The director for the episode has not yet been announced.

Release Date Context for a Series Under New Leadership

This stretch of episodes arrives during a transition behind the camera. Victor Teran took over as showrunner from Andrea Newman, who stepped down at the end of the previous season. Teran was an executive producer who was promoted to the role.

The current run has also carried a sense of milestone. The season marks the series’ 300th episode and brings back characters who have not been seen in a little while. Cast shake-ups were announced ahead of the season, so viewers went into the premiere knowing change was coming.

One cast listing notes that Joe Miñoso is credited as Firefighter Joe Cruz for only the first five episodes. The core ensemble still includes Taylor Kinney, David Eigenberg, Christian Stolte and Miranda Rae Mayo. With Vasquez and Kidd chasing something suspicious behind a burned out RV, do you think the explosion hides a bigger case for Firehouse 51, and which of them do you expect to crack it first?
