Yes, in v3 of the site or via the apps. That said, not very many people know about its availability so getting a game is likely to be hard. Unless you know someone is on the same time as you are, in v3 or the app also, and you directly challenge them.
How to play live in Chess 960
Sort:
Thanks , I can play it now.
Maybe it will be possible to actually get games once V.3 is the default, but even then the option to play variants is kind of buried. Just go over to lichesss.org when you want live 960.

As more players get on v3 and learn how the site works, the number of 960 Live game will increase.

How do you get v3?
Look at the bottom of the page for a link that says "Try the new Chess.com".
Thanks!
Anyone up to a 5 minute game?
I'm seeking right now.

Hello, could anyone explain where the option is? I tried "Try the new Chess.com" and went to Live, but no 960 button as far as I can see.
In Live, click the button that looks like a chessboard, next to the time control and "Play" buttons. That's where you select the variants.

The best way is still to go to lichess.org, where you can easily play 960, crazyhouse and many other variants live. Its sad that chess.com took so long to come with something which is so much less inviting than lichess already had. Chess.com is still better for a lot of stuff - just not variants.
What's "v3 of the site"?
ewwwwww so ugly the v3.
the internet is getting destroyed by smartphones and ipads lol
why chess960 is so hidden at the bottom of the page
for a link that says "Try the new Chess.com". with no "chess960" described ?
why not at top "new version to play chess960" ?
How do you play?
Does Chess.com can play live in chess 960 ?
