Get your gear! CBS is officially reclaiming Tuesday nights starting March 3, 2026. The network's "NCIS Franchise Night" marks the midseason return of three heavy hitters: the flagship NCIS, the 1990s-set prequel NCIS: Origins, and the international spinoff NCIS: Sydney. Fans had to wait an extra week for this three-hour block after the 2026 State of the Union address bumped the original February 24 premiere dates.

The night kicks off at 8:00 PM ET with the 23rd season of NCIS. Series regulars like Sean Murray and Wilmer Valderrama are back to handle the beltway's toughest cases. Following at 9:00 PM ET is NCIS: Origins, where Austin Stowell portrays a young Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Mark Harmon, who executive produces and narrates the prequel, continues to guide viewers through Gibbs' early days at the NIS Camp Pendleton office alongside Kyle Schmid, who plays Mike Franks.

Closing out the marathon at 10:00 PM ET is NCIS: Sydney. The third season continues the adventures of Olivia Swann as Michelle Mackey and Todd Lasance as JD Dempsey as they navigate jurisdictional friction in the Indo-Pacific. According to TVLine, the episode "South of Nowhere" marks the international team's return to the schedule. All three shows will also be available for streaming on Paramount+ for subscribers looking to catch up on the action.
