Countdown to FBI Season 8 Episode 11: Release Date, Exact Time, and How to Watch Live

If you have been keeping up with FBI this season, the next hour is coming up fast. Season 8 Episode 11 is locked in with a firm date and time, and after the recent cases, it does not look like the team is getting a breather anytime soon.

Where we left off

Recent episodes have been heavy. The team dug into a triple homicide of sex workers inside a brownstone, only to realize the killer was working toward something bigger than one crime scene. On top of that, Jubal got a worrying phone call from his son, Tyler, which is never a good sign in this universe. And if that was not enough, the squad also chased an attack that knocked out phone, internet, and even emergency services. That mess led back to a group pushing a radical plan to 'reset' society. Subtle, right?

Release date and time

FBI Season 8 Episode 11 airs Monday, February 23, 2026. If you are planning your night around it, here is when it hits:

• Eastern Time: 8 p.m. ET on February 23, 2026
• Pacific Time: 5 p.m. PT on February 23, 2026

How to watch

You can catch the episode on CBS or stream it on Paramount+. CBS is the broadcast home for the procedural heavy-hitters, including NCIS, FBI, Blue Bloods, and Survivor. If you are streaming, Paramount+ bundles CBS shows with a bunch of other brands under one roof: Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, and Comedy Central are all in the mix. New users can try a 7-day free trial before the subscription kicks in.

What the show is

'The New York office of the FBI brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep their city and the country safe.'

That is the official line, and Season 8 has been leaning into it: bigger threats, personal stakes, and the kind of cases that crash critical infrastructure while the team scrambles to stop the next hit. Not exactly low stakes.
