Are you talking about Daily/correspondence or Live? On the website or the app?

I can't get to chess 960 either.  Does it exist for chess.com?  I click on play.  I scroll down to chess 960 and click on it.  The link takes me to Online Chess.

You cant play 960 live on this web site.  Lichess.org is currently the best place to play 960 live.

960 Live is available in the app and on v3 of the site. Finding opponents may be hard, as not a lot of people know about it,  but it can be played here.

You can switch to v3 using the "Try the new Chess.com" link at the bottom of most pages.

Thanks Martin.  Shocking to me how primitive the live play section looks.  Looks like a mobile app - sharp contrast to how clean and intuitive the current chess.com is on the PC/Mac.  

In any event Lichess.org is currently the best place to play 960 live.  I've looked extensively, and there is nothing close that I've found.

Yeah,  the new version of the site and the app have a unified look. I'm not the biggest fan but it works fine for most things (but a little buggy, especially on a mobile browser).
