The 2025-26 TV season has drawn to a close, and it was another incredible season for NBC’s One Chicago shows. The trio of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago PD continues to captivate audiences worldwide, with the One Chicago shows showing no signs of slowing down. Fans cannot get enough of the shows, but by looking at the final viewership numbers for the season it is clear that fan interest definitely varies slightly series to series.
With the season complete, Matt’s Inside Line has released the list of the 20 most-watched shows of the 2025-26 season, which reveals which shows drew the most viewers this season.

Of the Top 20 non-sports programs of the season, Chicago PD ranked 13th overall with an average of 6.38 million total viewers. Meanwhile, Chicago Fire (7.17 million total viewers) narrowly outpaced Chicago Med (7.11 million total viewers) to claim the No. 7 overall spot on the list, followed directly by Chicago Med at No. 8, as seen in the chart below breaking down the full list:
