For Dallas Stars fans living in Chicago, IL, you're in luck! Unlike fans in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, you are considered out-of-market, which means you will not face any local blackout restrictions when trying to watch Stars games. This significantly simplifies your streaming options, allowing you to access nearly every game without hassle. The best and most comprehensive way to catch all the action is through an ESPN+ subscription. ESPN+ streams hundreds of out-of-market NHL games live throughout the season, and as a Chicago resident, Dallas Stars games will almost always be available to you there. Additionally, national broadcasts on TNT and simulcasts on Max will also be accessible.
