CBS Fall 2026 – When do your Favourite Shows Premiere?

CBS is ready to kick off the 2026-27 television season, revealing both its fall primetime lineup and the premiere dates for its upcoming slate of programming.

This year’s schedule combines established favourites with several new additions. Among the newcomers is NCIS: New York, which brings LL Cool J back to the NCIS universe alongside Hawaii Five-0 alum Scott Caan. CBS is also welcoming back more than a dozen returning series, including Marshals, Tracker and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.

Another anticipated addition, Einstein, will arrive a little later. The new drama, led by Criminal Minds veteran Matthew Gray Gubler, is currently set to make its debut during the midseason portion of CBS’s schedule.

With new series joining a sizeable roster of returning favourites, CBS has plenty planned for the months ahead. Below, you’ll find a complete look at the network’s Fall 2026 schedule, including which shows are returning, what’s new, premiere dates and where each series lands in the weekly lineup.
