CBS Officially Pulls All 3 ‘NCIS’ Shows From Tonight’s Schedule

There are very few television franchises that have managed to remain quite as consistently successful as NCIS, and after more than two decades on the air, CBS has somehow managed to make its enormously popular crime procedural even bigger. With new spinoffs, familiar faces returning, and an entire evening dedicated to the franchise, Tuesday nights have become something of a sacred occasion for millions of viewers. But while the network’s revamped lineup has been delivering plenty of excitement since returning in October, fans are about to experience their first major disappointment of the season. And unfortunately, it’s going to affect all three shows.

CBS has officially confirmed that NCIS, NCIS: New York, and NCIS: Origins will not air new episodes on Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Instead, all three are going to be returning one week later on November 10, but this is an unprecedented break because it will cause CBS’ Super Tuesday to be, well, less than super for the first time. There is a good reason, though, because rather than airing its usual three-hour block of crime dramas, the network will broadcast CBS News: America Decides: Election 2026 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET, meaning there simply isn’t room for Leroy Jethro Gibbs and company this week. Seems fair enough.

• He turns whatever is in the room to his advantage.
