There’s absolutely no need to miss a beat of NCIS Season 18 when it premieres tonight, Nov. 17. Nor should you miss each new episode added to the series.

With it being on CBS, there are plenty of options to stream the episodes online. You can watch live and on-demand.

How do you do it? How do you stream NCIS Season 18? Netflix? Amazon? Let’s take a look at all your options.

Watch live and on-demand through CBS All Access

The easiest way to watch NCIS Season 18 live is through cable, but if you have cut the cord, you can turn to CBS All Access.

The episodes air on the streaming service live. Everything CBS is live in the United States. It’s an excellent reason to get the streaming service if you have cut the cord.

Don’t have time to watch live? That’s okay! All episodes are added to CBS All Access after they air. You can watch on-demand any time you want. All previous seasons are also available.

The great thing about CBS All Access is that your views will count in terms of renewal. Just watch within the week of the episode airing. The first 24 hours are the best and the first 72 hours are preferable after that, but within the week of the episode airing will still count.

You can get CBS All Access direct, or you can sign up through Amazon Prime Video via Amazon Channels ($).

Buy NCIS Season 18 on Digital

You can get the episode digitally. This is a popular option for those who know they want to own the episodes after they air or those who don’t want to keep subscribing to a streaming service.

Amazon Video ($) is an excellent option. The episodes are available usually within 24 hours of it airing on CBS, and most of the time after midnight of the episode airing.

You can grab the Season Pass, so you’ll get it for less than each individual episode. The episodes are added automatically to your Amazon Library once they’re available.

NCIS Season 18 on DVD and Blu-ray

Eventually, the season will be available on DVD and Blu-ray. That’s not going to be for some time.

Usually, the DVD release happens around August after the season finale. That’s been the case in recent years, and it is expected to be the case this year.

There’s no guarantee of August, though. We don’t know when the finale will air this year.

There are only 16 episodes to NCIS Season 18, which suggests a May finale date as normal. This should mean an August or early September release date on DVD and Blu-ray.
