The NCIS three-way crossover was supposed to air tonight on CBS. What is the plan instead? When will we see the first-time event?

When CBS first announced its January return dates, NCIS and the two other shows in the franchise were the first ones to return. We were supposed to get the first-ever three-way crossover event tonight, Monday, Jan. 2.

Then the plan changed. The episodes aren’t going to air tonight. When will they air instead, and what can we expect?

NCIS three-way crossover air date on CBS

There isn’t much longer left to wait for the episodes. Instead of this week, we’ll get the three episodes next Monday, Jan. 9. For The Neighborhood and Bob Hearts Abishola fans, this is pushing the returns of those two shows back by a week. We’ll get them on Monday, Jan. 16.

NCIS will air in the 8 p.m. ET/PT timeslot on Monday, Jan. 9 (moving back an hour later the following week). A few members of the Hawaii and LA teams will be in Washington DC to honor a FLETC professor who is retirement. However, when he turns up dead from an apparent suicide, the teams want to get to the bottom of it. They don’t believe suicdide was the case.

After that, the teams will need to work together to save some of their own in Hawaii and then LA. It’s sure to be an thrilling NCIS three-way crossover event.
