Chicago Bulls odds
We don’t print a price for the Bulls here yet. No Canadian sportsbook feed covers the NBA for us, and an American number isn’t a fair guide to what you’ll see in your province.
Where you can bet depends on where you live. Ontario and Alberta have licensed private sportsbooks, and the rest of Canada bets through its provincial lottery platform. Our NBA betting hub explains each province, and the list below is matched to where you are.
Chicago Bulls history
The Bulls joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1966-67 and made the playoffs in their first season. Few expansion clubs have. They played that year at the International Amphitheatre, then spent 27 years at Chicago Stadium. The United Center has been home since 1994-95.
Then came Michael Jordan, drafted third overall in 1984, and everything changed for a club that had never been past the conference finals. Phil Jackson became head coach in 1989, and the Bulls won three straight titles from 1991 to 1993. They won three more from 1996 to 1998. The 1995-96 team went 72-10.
Derrick Rose was named MVP in 2011, the youngest winner in league history. The Bulls have not won a title since 1998, and their last playoff trip came in 2022. After a 31-51 season, a new front office hired Tiago Splitter as coach for 2026-27.
Most famous player: Michael Jordan
Six championships in eight seasons. Michael Jordan leads the Bulls in points, with 29,277, and in games, rebounds, assists and steals. He won six championships in Chicago across two runs of three, and his No. 23 was retired on 1 November 1994.
Derrick Rose became the fifth Bull to have his number retired when No. 1 went up on 24 January 2026, after a win over Boston. He was the league MVP in 2011.
