How to Watch CIA: Channel, Time & Streaming Guide

Last updated 2026-10-25

About the show

CIA centers on two unlikely partners — a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer, and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.

On TVmaze the series is categorised under Drama, Crime. That classification is useful when you are deciding whether it fits what you feel like watching tonight, and it also tells you roughly which other titles in our guide are likely to appeal to the same audience.

TVmaze currently records the production status as Running. Status matters for planning: a running series gets new episodes on a predictable cycle, while an ended series is only available as a back catalogue. Always check the episode table below for the most recent listing before you tune in.

What channel is CIA on?

CIA airs on CBS, a US broadcast network. In the listings we generate from TVmaze it is carried under that network, and the channel page in our guide shows the full day's schedule around the episode.

The show's official site is https://www.cbs.com/shows/cia/, which is the authoritative source for schedule changes, preemption notices and clip releases.

What time does it air?

TVmaze lists the regular slot as Monday at 21:00. Treat that as the network's local timezone rather than your own — if you are watching from another country, convert accordingly before you set a reminder.

Broadcast slots move. Sport overruns, breaking news and seasonal scheduling all push start times later, so the guide page for the specific date is always more accurate than a remembered weekly slot.

How to watch and where to stream

We only link to services we can describe accurately. Where a platform carries a network in general but we cannot confirm this specific title is available in your region right now, check the official site before subscribing. Availability changes by country and licensing windows expire.

Cast & characters

The credited regulars listed by TVmaze, with the character each actor plays. Cast lists change between seasons, so treat this as a snapshot of the most recent credited line-up rather than a guarantee for future episodes.

Upcoming episodes

Dates confirmed in the TVmaze listing at the time this page was generated. If a date is marked TBA the network has not confirmed it yet.

Recently aired

The most recent episodes, newest first — useful if you are catching up and want to know where you left off.

If you are catching up

TVmaze carries 15 aired episodes for this series, going back to the 2026-02-23 premiere. If you have fallen behind, the most reliable approach is to work backwards from the most recent episode listed above rather than trying to find a "watch order" elsewhere — episode numbering in our table matches the season and episode numbers the network itself uses.

One practical warning: mid-season breaks are common. A gap of several weeks in the table does not mean the show has been cancelled, only that the network is holding episodes for a later sweep period. The status field at the top of this page is the quicker way to tell the difference.

Watching from outside US

Rights are sold country by country, so a show carried on one network in its home market often appears on a completely different channel — or a different streaming service — elsewhere. Two practical rules apply wherever you are.

• Use the official route for your country. If the show has a local broadcaster, its own player is almost always free and reliable.
• Be careful with "free stream" search results. Sites that relay a broadcast without permission are frequently taken down, carry aggressive advertising, and expose you to malware. TVHub does not host, proxy or rebroadcast any video; we publish schedules and link to official sources.

If you are travelling, remember that most streaming services check your location and will show a different catalogue abroad.
