How To Watch The One Chicago Crossover Tonight — What Time Does It Start?

Tonight, One Chicago returns with its first crossover in five years, and it’s shaping up to be an action-packed three-hour event viewers won’t want to miss. Here’s everything you need to know about watching the Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. crossover, including the exact start time of the special.

A crossover between NBC’s Chicago-based first responder dramas has long been overdue. For the last 11 years, NBC has delivered major crossover events featuring all three One Chicago shows—plus Law & Order: SVU. These high-stakes episodes have tackled everything from hunting down bombers to dismantling child pornography rings and stopping serial killers, but viewers haven’t received one since 2019.

Finally, on Wednesday, Jan. 29, NBC is airing a new major crossover special, which Wolf Entertainment EVP Anastasia Puglisi described as a “three-hour action movie.” The plot for tonight’s crossover will revolve around gas explosion that rocks a hire-rise building.

“Chicago’s first responders come out in force to rescue hundreds of civilians,” the plot summary from Wolf Entertaiment reads. “It’s the calamity beneath the surface, however, that sends our heroes on a race to save 40 people trapped deep underground, including two of their own.”

The official teaser shows Firehouse 51 rushing to rescue victims, including Stella Kidd, who is helping those trapped on a train. “Stay on the train until the ground settles,” she says. Later, Lt. Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) shouts, “People are still on that train, including my wife.” But Kidd isn’t alone—she’s trapped alongside P.D.’s Adam Ruzek (Patrick Flueger), and at one point, she tells him, “We’re running out of air.”
