Collider has published an overview of CBS's primetime line-up for the autumn 2026 television season, highlighting a schedule dominated by police procedurals, crime dramas, reality competitions and news programming. The piece frames CBS as the go-to network for procedural and reality fans, while also noting mid-season titles held back for later, including Einstein, Ghosts, Matlock and NCIS: Sydney, and summer shows such as Big Brother that are wrapping up.

The rundown details several returning Sunday and Monday staples: 60 Minutes begins its 59th season at 7:00 p.m., amid significant behind-the-scenes upheaval, with correspondent Scott Pelley reportedly dismissed after criticising new management, correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega departing, and veteran producer Henry Schuster also leaving. The Yellowstone spin-off Marshals returns for Season 2 at 8:00 p.m. with Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton, followed by Tracker (Season 4, 9:00 p.m.) starring Justin Hartley as survivalist Colter Shaw. On Mondays, Dick Wolf's FBI enters its ninth season in a new 8:00 p.m. slot, continuing the network's procedural focus.
