We’ll be getting more coastal adventures and CBS crossovers soon with the return of NCIS: Hawaii this spring. Vanessa Lachey is back as Special Agent Jane Tennant, the (first female!) leader of NCIS’s Pearl Harbor unit. In the season 3 premiere, she’ll be joined by former NCIS: Los Angeles member Sam Hanna (LL Cool J), who looks to be joining the Hawaii team for good.

Where to watch NCIS: Hawai’i season 3

The new season of NCIS: Hawaii will premiere on February 12, 10:00 PM ET on CBS and Paramount+ (right after the OG NCIS). New episodes will air every Monday at the same time slot.

Subscribers of Paramount+ with SHOWTIME can watch NCIS: Hawaii live, while subscribers of Paramount+ Essential will have to wait till the day after.

There are two ways to watch NCIS: Hawaii: on CBS live or on Paramount+.

NCIS: Hawai’i season 3 on Paramount+

I know, I know, another on-demand service? As if we need any more of that? But Paramount+ is one of the more reasonably priced streamers out there, filled to the brim with originals, blockbusters, and access to CBS depending on your plan. You can click the link below to learn more.

Paramount+

Paramount+ is an on-demand streaming service packed with original series like the Star Trek reboots, Billions, Yellowstone, and Fraiser, blockbusters like Top Gun and Transformers, and live sports from CBS. The ad-supported plan costs $6/month, while the ad-free plan costs $12/month. The latter includes offline downloads, your local CBS station, and the entirety of Showtime, which is home to fan favorites like Yellowjackets and The Curse.

You can also watch NCIS: Hawaii on CBS without cable on one of these cord-cutting services:

Fubo

Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.

Hulu with Live TV

Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.

YouTube TV

Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.

Fubo Elite

If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.

Paramount+

Paramount+ is an on-demand streaming service packed with original series like the Star Trek reboots, Billions, Yellowstone, and Fraiser, blockbusters like Top Gun and Transformers, and live sports from CBS. The ad-supported plan costs $6/month, while the ad-free plan costs $12/month. The latter includes offline downloads, your local CBS station, and the entirety of Showtime, which is home to fan favorites like Yellowjackets and The Curse.

Crossovers upon crossovers

In many ways, NCIS: Hawaii was created to spur more crossovers within the CBS ecosystem. In just under two seasons, the show featured other NCIS units more than any other spin-off, and CBS has said that its location makes it very possible for the show to feature its other Hawaii-based show: Magnum, PI. I know Marvel cameos have made crossovers near-obsolete but this was and is a big deal in network TV world!

The first two seasons are available on Paramount+

All 44 episodes of NCIS: Hawaii are currently available to stream on Paramount+. Of course, all NCIS episodes and spin-offs are available on Paramount+, so if you’ve been wanting to check out the latest spin-offs (NCIS: Sydney and the upcoming prequel NCIS: Origin), you don’t have to look further.
