CBS did not air Marshals on November 8, clearing its entire 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET Sunday lineup and replacing both Marshals and Tracker with previous episodes of Cupertino. The network says both Sunday shows will be back in their regular time slots on November 15, 2026.
That is the answer viewers were looking for on Sunday night: Marshals is not new on TV on November 8, and the break lasts for one week, not longer. For anyone checking the schedule, the change affects the full Sunday primetime window, not just one hour, because CBS removed both shows from the lineup for the night.
Marshals and Tracker normally anchor CBS Sunday nights during the regular TV season, which is why the preemption stood out. CBS chose to fill the open hours with reruns of Cupertino, even though that series usually airs on Thursday nights. The network did not keep one Sunday show in place and move the other; it wiped the slate clean for the evening.
That decision leaves one obvious question behind: why clear the whole Sunday lineup for Cupertino at all? CBS did not provide a public explanation in the schedule notice, so viewers are left with the fact pattern alone — both shows were pushed off Sunday, Cupertino was moved into the spotlight, and the regular lineup resumes the following week.
For viewers of Marshals and Tracker, the practical takeaway is simple. The November 8 preemption is a one-night schedule change, not a permanent shift. Both shows return on November 15, 2026, and CBS Sunday goes back to normal after the detour.
