A note on the tracklist: You may see lists online claiming to be an episode-by-episode NCIS: Sydney soundtrack, citing songs like an “Omnibus (Extended Version)” or specific licensed cues per episode. We were not able to independently verify these as genuine, officially sourced music placements for this specific series — fan soundtrack trackers currently show very few confirmed song placements for NCIS: Sydney, and none of them match those claims. Rather than repeat unverifiable information, we’re leaving the episode-by-episode tracklist out until it can be properly sourced.
Where to Stream NCIS: Sydney
NCIS: Sydney streams on Paramount+ in Australia and the US, and airs on Network 10 in Australia and CBS in the United States. Roger Mason’s score can be found alongside other NCIS: Sydney music coverage on Apple Music.

It accumulates in a very intense, very explosive, very heartbreaking way. I’m so excited for it to air because some really cool stuff is coming up.”
