The Chicago series has brought us joy for eight wonderful years! With three of the four shows still captivating audiences and beautifully weaving into the Law & Order universe, it opens up exciting possibilities for the best Chicago Crossover episodes, especially those featuring SVU.
I’d love to share my personal picks for the top crossover episodes. Just a quick note: I won’t include the backdoor pilots, as those are one-time events rather than crossovers between two or more series. So, let's dive in and explore these memorable moments together!
10. Chicago Fire-Chicago PD "A Dark Day"/"8:30 PM"
This crossover started it all with a two-night event. When Chicago Med gets bombed during a fundraiser, Dawson is caught under rubble while Casey and the Firehouse 51 try to rescue her and others. Boden and Mills stop a second bomb from going off. Voight and the team come in and learn the stakes that this is an act of revenge against Chicago's finest. And Burgress's niece's life hangs in the balance.
It was an exhilarating event to see the promo and prepare for it! I still get chills thinking about Voight's intense pursuit, shouting, "I want him alive!" as he fired his weapon. This episode tugged at my heartstrings even more; I can’t help but dream of a Chicago Med series featuring Dylan Baker as a heroic doctor saving Burgess' niece!
9. Chicago Fie-Law & Order: SVU-Chicago PD "Nobody Touches Anything"/"Chicago Crossover"/"They'll Have to Go Through Me"
When Severide and Firehouse 51 rescue the owner of a house, they find a suspicious box that leads to Voight teaming up with SVU. They take down a child pornography ring that reunites Erin with her brother.
The first three shows brought incredible depth to the crossover, featuring a compelling story and fantastic performances from Sophia Bush. Watching Bush share scenes with Mariska Hargitay felt like a beautiful passing of the baton to the next incredible actress in the crime drama.
8. Chicago PD-Chicago Fire "Profiles"/"Hiding Not Seeking"
Why not celebrate the 100th episode of Chicago PD with a crossover event with Chicago Fire? Why go on a local television program? An Aomb goes off in the middle of the interview. Voight and the team investigate to learn that the suspect is seeking revenge on the media for what they had done to him. Voight gets 51 to help prevent the suspect from harming others.
It's a close second in the Fire-PD crossover event episodes that I enjoyed with the ripped-from-the-headlines type of story. It is a real on-the-edge-of-your-seat story with fantastic moments, including Jay Halstead driving a motorcycle like a badass superhero.
7. Chicago Fire-Chicago Med-Chicago PD: "The Beating Heart"/"Malignant"/"Now I'm God"
It's the first three-show, two-night crossover event that started at the end of season four, the fall finale of Chicago Fire, when Herrmann gets stabbed. While Herrmann's life is in balance, 51 gets called to the house fire of a cancer patient, but the doctors at Chicago Med learn that not only that patient. But a multiple like her was diagnosed with cancer but never had it. Voight and the team investigate but understand that the suspect doctor was the one who took care of Voight's late wife.
While this was the first crossover between all three shows, it was a powerful story. While each show had its moments, Chicago PD saved the best for last when we learned that the doctor who treated all these patients without cancer cared for Voight's wife. Jason Beghe gives a stunning performance.
6. Chicago Fire-Chicago Med-Chicago PD: "Going to War"/"When to Let Go"/"Endings"
The crossover we had hoped for since we learned that all three shows would air on the same night for the season. When Firehouse 51 gets called an apartment fire in the city while trying to save the residents, things hit the chin when Jay is looking for his dad; Otis sees a mother and baby die, and Kidd sacrifices her life to save Severide, who sends her to Med. While at Med, Will and Jay lose their father. Dr. Charles tries to help Otis with his PTSD. Chicago PD takes over to find the suspect that started the fire; while Halie and Voight think that Jay isn't stable enough to help, he goes on his own and stops and kills the suspect.
It's coming close to being like a movie event. For the first episode of the crossover, in the beginning, it felt like a salute to the city of Chicago. This event was thought to belong to Jesse Lee Soffer, who performed well. That scene of Otis seeing that mother and baby died in the elevator from the fire was so powerful. That scene of 51 trying to save Kidd on-site was powerful, too. While this crossover ranked at number six, wait till you see the top five.
5. Chicago Fire-Chicago PD: "Three Bells"/"A Little Devil Complex"
After Firehouse 51 lost a well-beloved member at the beginning of the third season. After a string of fires, Dawson and Severide team up to investigate these fires, which turned out to be arson, and there was a connection to Shay's death. While they couldn't prove it, Dawson brings in the big guns of Antiono and Intelligence. The suspect gets under Voight and the team's skin after blowing up Burgess and Roman's squad car. After learning who this guy is, Dawson becomes the new target.
While this was a two-night crossover event, it should have been a one-night event. It was such an emotional episode from Chicago Fie's standpoint as, in the end, they honored Shay's life in a way that still gives me chills and the waterworks going. This arsonist was terrifying. It is a strong story, well-performed by the cast. These crossover episodes took a step up from the previous crossover episodes.
4. Law & Order SVU-Chicago PD "Nationwide Manhunt"/"The Song of Gregory William Yates"
Criminal mastermind Gregory Yates dares to escape New York State prison and cleverly enlists Voight and the team to aid in the SVU's search. Yates knows how to play with Lindsay's mind, luring him back to Chicago. This leads to an intense standoff that keeps you guessing how it might end.

This thrilling chapter unfolds as the next installment in Gregory Yates's chilling saga, surprising me with its unexpected crossover. Once again, Sophia Bush delivers a breathtaking performance, and the story wraps up so compelling that you’ll be on the edge of your seat with goosebumps!
3. Chicago Fire-Chicago PD-Law & Order SVU: "We Called Her Jellybean"/"The Number of Rats"/"Daydream Believer"
When Firehouse 51 gets called to an apartment fire connected to a case of attempted rape and murder in Chicago. It just so happens to resemble an unsolved case in New York. It sends Voight and their team to team up with Benson and SVU, where they meet with the man that every One Chicago fan knows, Gregory Yates. Yates, the modern-day Ted Bundy, starts with his fascination with Erin Lindsay. When Lindsay got the drop on him, he took a step further by taking someone close to Erin and Intelligence.
Like #5, this crossover plays with all the emotions and thrills. And it marks the second time a supportive character gets killed on Chicago PD. That was so heartbreaking!!!
2. Chicago Fire-Chicago PD-Chicago Justice: "Deathtrap"/"Emotional Proximity"/"Fake"
In an intense episode of Firehouse 51, our brave team faces a dangerous rescue when a complex warehouse building is engulfed in flames. Meanwhile, Chicago Med works tirelessly to save as many lives as they can. As the story unfolds, Voight and his team uncover that the fire was intentionally set, and Al experiences a heartbreaking moment watching his daughter fight for her life despite Will and Natalie's valiant efforts. This storyline also paves the way for Chicago Justice, who steps in to confront a suspect driven by personal vendetta after being dumped.

When this spectacular crossover aired, it felt like an epic TV event, reminiscent of a thrilling movie of the week. The opening scenes of Chicago Fire truly took my breath away as the team raced towards the fire. And during the PD segment, we all found ourselves hoping that Al would unleash his inner Voight and take charge of the situation suspect. And while Justice got a mixed reaction, I'd enjoyed the show, but they could tweak it more.
