How to watch NCIS season 20: stream all-new episodes online from anywhere

In the US, NCIS season 20 premieres with a two-hour crossover event on CBS at 9pm ET/PT on Monday, September 19, with new episodes airing in the same slot weekly. 

If you have the channel on cable, you can tune in on linear TV or watch on-demand on the CBS website. You'll need to sign in with your cable provider details.

Cord-cutters can watch NCIS season 20 on Paramount Plus without the need for cable TV. As above, new episodes land every Monday, from September 19.

A subscription to the streaming service is available from just $4.99 a month after a 7-day FREE Paramount Plus free trial.

Paramount Plus is bursting with top shows like the Halo TV series, 1883: A Yellowstone Origin Story, all things Star Trek, and live sports action from CBS, including Champions League soccer and the NFL.

An alternative is an over-the-top streaming service with the CBS TV channel, and our recommendation would be FuboTV, which is a complete cable replacement carrying more than 100 channels and starting from $69.99 a month.

Better still, there's a FREE 7-day FuboTV trial on offer so you can try before you buy - and cancel if you're not a fan.

NCIS season 20 is being televised by Global TV in Canada, with new episodes airing at 9pm ET/PT on Mondays, starting with a two-hour crossover event on September 19.

If you don't have the channel on cable, you can still watch NCIS in Canada via the Global TV app or online platform.

It lets you watch some shows for free for the first seven days after they air, without requiring you to sign in with the details of a cable provider. However, you’ll need a valid cable login to get access to all Global content.

In Australia, Paramount Plus is the place to watch NCIS season 20, with new episodes landing every Wednesday from September 21. That’s just a couple of days after the US.

A monthly subscription to Paramount Plus costs AU$8.99, and offers up TV series like NCIS: Hawaii, Yellowjackets, Paw Patrol and Dexter: New Blood, in addition to live sports, Paramount Originals, and ViacomCBS content and films fresh from cinemas. Even better, new subscribers can enjoy a 7-day FREE trial.

As detailed above, if you’re abroad you’ll struggle to connect to any of the streaming services you usually use. The solution? Try using a VPN as per our guide above.

At the time of writing there's no word on when NCIS season 20 will air in the UK, though we're hoping that we'll find out towards the end of its run in the US, Canada and Australia.

When it does land in the UK, it's likely to come to Disney Plus, which is the place the watch all of the previous seasons of the show. 

Since season 19 only started airing in the UK in April 2022, it could be a while before NCIS season 20 arrives. On the bright side, that means you've got plenty of time to catch up with the latest goings-on at the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Other great shows on Disney Plus include Pam & Tommy, The Walking Dead and The Dropout. Take a look at all the rest of the best Disney Plus shows that you can stream right now.
