CBS has officially unveiled its fall premiere schedule for the NCIS franchise, giving fans a clear look at when their favorite series will be back on screen. The network is planning a major launch night, with three different NCIS shows all returning on the same evening.
Tuesday, October 6 will serve as the franchise’s biggest night of the fall season. The evening begins with NCIS Season 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by NCIS: Origins Season 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Wrapping up the lineup is the highly anticipated debut of NCIS: New York, premiering at 10 p.m. ET/PT and introducing Scott Caan as Special Agent Nick Schaeffer while bringing back LL Cool J as fan favorite Sam Hanna.
While most of the franchise will return in October, NCIS: Sydney will follow a different schedule. Instead of joining the fall lineup, the international spinoff has been set for a January 2027 premiere, meaning fans will have to wait a few extra months before returning to Australia for another season.
The October schedule highlights CBS’s continued commitment to the NCIS universe, with the network dedicating an entire Tuesday night to the franchise. The addition of NCIS: New York also marks one of the biggest expansions in recent years, giving viewers a brand-new team while keeping familiar faces connected to the larger NCIS world.
With premiere dates now locked in, NCIS fans can officially start counting down to a packed fall season filled with returning favorites, new investigations, and the debut of the franchise’s newest chapter.
