The team returns for the explosive third season of NCIS: Sydney, premiering on Universal TV (DStv 117) on 6 April at 8 PM with new episodes every Monday until the season finale on 17 August 2026.
With rising international tensions in the Indo-Pacific, an eclectic team of U.S. NCIS agents and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are brought together in a multinational taskforce to keep naval crimes in check in the most contested patch of ocean on the planet. Led by NCIS Special Agent Michelle Mackey and her second-in-command, AFP counterpart, Sergeant Jim “JD” Dempsey, the American and Australian operatives must quickly learn to trust each other, harnessing their differences to solve each case.
In its third season, NCIS: Sydney returns to the glistening Harbour City after surviving their croc-fuelled Top End adventure – but something even more dangerous is coming back to bite them: their own pasts. Against a backdrop of adrenaline pumping cases, the team is put to the test like never before. From mysterious disappearances and targeted explosions to high-risk international incidents and a journey to Antarctica, each episode presents a fresh challenge that tests the unit’s expertise, resilience and ability to stay united under pressure. As the stakes rise, the team must confront unexpected threats, navigate shifting alliances and make critical decisions that could have far‑reaching consequences – both personally and professionally.
