Wednesday has arrived, but sadly it’s another week without the One Chicago dramas on NBC.
Unfortunately, there will once again be no episodes of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD airing on February 18, and we’re not just talking about new episodes. The 2026 Winter Olympics are still underway and NBC’s primetime slate remains dedicated to nightly coverage of the Milano Cortina Olympics. This means not only are there no new episodes of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD, but there are also no reruns coming fans’ way either.
It’s been a rough stretch for One Chicago fans as not only have the shows not been airing new episodes, but we’re not even getting the reruns to keep One Chicago Wednesdays going while the shows are on a break. This happened during the show’s winter break as well with NBC pulling the shows from the lineup to make way for special holiday programming throughout late November and all of December.
Thankfully, we’re nearing the end of the show’s latest break and the schedule for the remainder of the season should begin to stabilize once Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD return on March 4.
After two weeks of preempting Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD for Winter Olympics coverage, NBC has lined up an unexpected schedule for the final Wednesday of February. Instead of a night of One Chicago reruns, NBC will be airing an encore presentation of The Voice season 29 premiere from 8 – 10 p.m. during the time on the schedule that is usually occupied by Chicago Med and Chicago Fire. It will then close out the night with a Chicago PD rerun at 10 p.m. which at least means fans can enjoy one of the three One Chicago shows on February 25.
Once we get through the final week of February, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD return to NBC’s schedule on March 4, for what will be an unforgettable night. This is because March 4 will bring the three shows together for the 2026 One Chicago crossover event.
March 4 will welcome our first new episodes of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD since the first week of February, and while the night will feature new episodes, the schedule will look a bit different. This is because the crossover will begin on Chicago Fire, which will air at 8 p.m. and open the night. With Chicago Fire kicking off the crossover, Chicago Med will air an hour later at 9 p.m. before Chicago PD closes out the night in its normal time slot.
Following the crossover, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD will finally return to their normal schedules with new episodes expected to air on March 11. From there, we should see limited breaks in the season as we begin the countdown to the finales in May!
