The wait is finally over, NCIS fans! CBS has delivered the news you’ve been eagerly anticipating: NCIS is officially back in production for Season 23, and the premiere is just around the corner.
In a surprise announcement on the show’s official Instagram on July 10, the network confirmed that NCIS Season 23 will debut on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. But that’s not all-there’s an exciting twist: the series is moving from its long-standing Monday night slot to Tuesday nights.
“Tuesdays, we’re coming home 👏👏,” the show’s social team teased in their post, sending fans into a frenzy.
Fans quickly flooded the comments with excitement. One joked, “Tuesdays are always better than Mondays 😂,” while another shouted, “Let’s GO!! Been waiting FOREVER!” The enthusiasm was undeniable, proving that the NCIS fandom is as passionate as ever.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time NCIS has aired on Tuesdays. The last time was during Season 18 in 2020, making this a nostalgic move for longtime viewers.
So why the change? CBS is strategically reshuffling its NCIS universe for the fall 2025-2026 season. Alongside the original NCIS Season 23, fans can also look forward to NCIS: Origins Season 2 and NCIS: Sydney Season 3, all premiering on October 14. By launching all three shows on the same night, CBS is creating the ultimate NCIS marathon for fans to enjoy.
No matter the reason, one thing is clear: the NCIS team is back, and it’s going to be a Tuesday night event you won’t want to miss.
