The Sheriff Country and Fire Country crossover airs Friday, November 6, 2026, on CBS. Paramount's official guide lists Sheriff Country: “No Way In” at 8 p.m. ET/PT, followed by Fire Country: “No Way Out” at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Find your local CBS station in the DIRECTV guide and check both entries.

Watch the two parts in order

PartOfficial CBS schedule
Sheriff Country: No Way InFriday, November 6, 8–9 p.m. ET/PT
Fire Country: No Way OutFriday, November 6, 9–10 p.m. ET/PT

The story begins with a prison break and hostage crisis, then continues into a manhunt involving the sheriff's team and Station 42. Start with Sheriff Country rather than treating the Fire Country episode as the first hour. These are two separately named series entries in the viewing plan.

Find your local CBS channel on DIRECTV

CBS station numbers vary by market. Use the guide for your current account, service and location instead of assuming a single nationwide number. Our CBS channel finder guide provides background. Confirm that the local station is included in the package you actually use.

The published ET/PT notation gives the Eastern and Pacific broadcast slots; it is not an instruction to convert 8 p.m. Eastern into an earlier Pacific broadcast. Check the actual local listing, particularly in Central and Mountain markets or if you are traveling. A complete-address check and current lineup matter more than a preliminary ZIP result.

Streaming live and watching later are different options

Paramount's official Sheriff Country guide identifies live viewing with Paramount+ Premium and next-day on-demand viewing with both Premium and Essential. Check the individual episode listing and your current plan. A DIRECTV subscription and a separately purchased Paramount+ plan are distinct viewing arrangements; do not assume one automatically supplies the other.

No subscription price or trial offer is quoted here. Before signing up, read the selected plan's current price, renewal and cancellation terms. Test the device and account you intend to use before the broadcast starts. Our Paramount+ plan and advertising guide covers related questions.

Set up both recordings

Search for each show separately and select its November 6 episode. If you use series recording, check that both series are included. Recording only Fire Country could miss the first half of the crossover. Review the guide entry rather than relying solely on a reminder copied from an older schedule.

When watching later, look for the two episode titles and play them in the order above. Availability can depend on the service, account and device, so confirm the listing you can actually access. This guide does not promise that every service keeps an episode for the same period.
