CBS made a Marshals TV show schedule change on November 8, 2026, and Marshals did not air that night. The network cleared its 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET Sunday lineup and filled it with Cupertino reruns instead.
Tracker and Marshals on Sunday
Tracker and Marshals both air on Sunday nights on CBS during the regular TV season, so the preemption hit both shows at once. Viewers of Marshals and Tracker lost the network’s full Sunday prime-time block for one night, not just a single episode slot.
CBS moved Cupertino into the hour that usually belongs to the Sunday lineup. Cupertino normally airs on Thursday nights on CBS, which makes the one-night switch more than a routine shuffle; it shifted a Thursday title into the network’s main Sunday window and pushed the regular schedule back a week.
Cupertino on November 8
The decision centered on Cupertino reruns, which gave CBS a ready-made replacement for the entire evening. That kind of programming move is simple on paper but broad in effect: once the network clears 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET, every show in that span loses its spot for the night.
For viewers, the practical result is straightforward. If Sunday night was when you expected Marshals or Tracker, November 8 was a missed week rather than a new time slot, and the network restored the lineup only after that single preemption.
November 15 Return
Marshals and Tracker will return to their regular Sunday time slots on November 15, 2026. For a one-week interruption, that is the useful takeaway: the schedule change was temporary, the Sunday block was fully replaced, and the shows are set to resume in their usual positions the following week.
Whether CBS plans any further Sunday preemptions after November 15, 2026 is not answered, so the safest read is to treat November 8 as a one-off programming move tied to Cupertino rather than a longer shift in the network’s Sunday strategy.
