FBI Season 8 Episode 3 Is Almost Here: Release Date, Time, and Where to Watch

New case, new mess. FBI is back with Season 8, Episode 3, and this one mixes a brutal murder, agency crossfire, and some workplace tremors. If you missed last week: the team chased down stolen paintings from a fancy international cultural exchange, which also left a security guard dead. Maggie even tapped a friend to help profile suspects. Now the fallout shifts fast.

What Episode 3 is about

The new hour starts with a young man found beaten and dead on federal land. That alone would be bad enough, but Special Agent Eva Ramos and Scola quickly find their investigation stepping on someone else’s toes. Translation: their case collides with a DEA operation, which usually means delays, frustration, and a lot of acronym politics. Meanwhile, back at the JOC, there’s a possible shake-up brewing that could change how the team moves. Not subtle, but definitely spicy.

Release date and time

FBI Season 8, Episode 3 lands on Monday, October 27, 2025. It airs at 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET.

• Eastern Time: Monday, October 27, 2025 at 8 p.m.
• Pacific Time: Monday, October 27, 2025 at 5 p.m.

Where to watch

You can watch the episode on CBS or stream it on Paramount+. CBS is the home base for a big chunk of broadcast staples — news, sports, dramas, comedies, reality — think shows like NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, and Survivor. Paramount+ pulls from multiple brands under one roof, including CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, and Comedy Central, and it offers a 7-day free trial before charging a subscription.

What the series 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."

Short version: big cases, fast moves, lots of tech, even more pressure. And this week, a murder on federal land plus a DEA overlap and a possible JOC shake-up should keep the team — and us — busy.
