Elsbeth Season 3 Episode 8, Basket Case, is almost here—find the release date, time, and where to watch as Elsbeth steps out of the squad room for her next twisty caper.

Heads up: Elsbeth is back with Season 3, Episode 8 this week, and the show is taking a very sports-adjacent turn. Here is when, where, and what you need to know before it drops.

What to expect in 'Basket Case'

The episode is called 'Basket Case,' and it yanks Elsbeth out of the squad room and into the locker room. A campus murder rocks the college basketball world after an athletic director turns up dead right after a heated argument involving the coach's 22-year-old girlfriend. Yes, that detail is as messy as it sounds. Expect Elsbeth to pick apart the power plays and egos that come with big-time college athletics.

When and where to watch

  • Release date: December 4, 2025
  • US airtimes: 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT
  • How to watch: CBS (broadcast) and Paramount+ (streaming)

Quick refresher on the show

The series is a comedy-drama, and if you are new or catching up, CBS sums it up pretty cleanly:

"After her successful career in Chicago, Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney, utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD."

That unconventional part is doing a lot of work this week. See you courtside.
