‘FBI’ Season 9 Episode 2 Release Date, Time and Where to Watch ‘Omissions’
Following a gripping season premiere focused on undercover operations, Dick Wolf’s enduring procedural continues with its second episode. Fans who tuned in for the opener are eager to discover what unfolds next for the New York field office, and the answer arrives next Monday.
The upcoming episode of ‘FBI’ is titled ‘Omissions’, and it promises a new case alongside significant personal developments for Maggie Bell. Here’s everything you need to know about the release date, air time, streaming options, and what the episode has in store.
‘FBI’ Season 9 Release Date for the Second Episode
Episode two, ‘Omissions’, is scheduled to premiere on October 12, 2026. Paramount’s press site confirms this air date, making it a direct follow-up to the ninth season opener, ‘Rendition’, which aired on Monday, October 5, 2026.
The series maintains its traditional weekly schedule, with new episodes airing on Mondays, ensuring fans won’t have to wait long between the first two episodes of the season.
This season consists of 22 episodes in total, with additional dates to be announced. Following ‘Omissions’, episode three, titled ‘White Rock’, is already scheduled for Monday, October 19, 2026.
What Time ‘FBI’ Airs on Monday Nights
The show airs on Mondays from 8 to 9 p.m. ET/PT on the CBS Television Network. Viewers in the Central time zone should adjust their clocks to tune in an hour earlier, at 7 p.m. CT.
This marks a slight but notable change for longtime viewers, as CBS previously aired new episodes at 9 p.m. ET. If your Monday routine was built around the later start, it’s time to make adjustments.
Keep in mind that local broadcasts may not align perfectly with the national schedule. Local stations and sporting events can affect the start time, so it’s wise to check your listings before settling in.
Where To Watch ‘FBI’ on TV and Streaming?
The easiest way to watch is via live television. In the US, catch it on CBS every Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT, or stream live with Paramount+ Premium. If you miss the live broadcast, new episodes are available on demand through Paramount+ shortly after they air.
The streaming tiers are important here. Premium subscribers enjoy live and on-demand access, while Essential subscribers can only watch on demand the day after the episode airs. Your chosen plan determines whether you see Maggie and the team in real time or a day later.
Canadian fans also have options. The show airs on Global on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET, and it’s available through STACKTV and the STACKTV Prime Video Channel, as well as on Paramount+.
Preview of ‘Omissions’ and What to Expect
The official synopsis hints at a heavy case right from the start. The agents will investigate the murder of an undercover NYPD officer outside his daughter’s school, a scenario that ‘FBI’ often uses to heighten emotional stakes and urgency.
The case is just part of the narrative. Maggie will get to know her new partner while discreetly assisting OA, hinting at deeper developments for one of the show’s central characters and adding a personal layer to the investigation.
The ensemble cast will be in full force, featuring Missy Peregrym as Maggie Bell, Zeeko Zaki as OA, Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine, and Alana De La Garza as Isobel Castille. Official photos for the episode showcase Sisto and De La Garza alongside David St. Louis and Narada Campbell.
Since its premiere on September 25, 2018, the series has cultivated a loyal fanbase invested in these characters. Maggie’s new partner could significantly alter the dynamic that viewers have followed for years. Will this new addition earn a place in the team, or will Maggie’s discreet assistance for OA lead to complications for them both?
