Latest News About What Time Does 60 Minutes Start

Short answer: 60 Minutes typically airs Sundays at 7:00 PM Eastern Time in the U.S., but it can shift to 7:30 PM or later if NFL games or other sports overruns occur, and occasionally run 90 minutes when expanded.[3][5][7]

Context and latest nuances:

• Standard slot: 7:00 PM ET on CBS, with a PT/MT equivalent on corresponding stations, and a Pacific start around 4:00 PM PT if there are no overruns.[5][6]
• NFL overruns: on Sundays with late or doubleheader NFL games, 60 Minutes may start at 7:30 PM ET or later, and some East Coast markets may see the show begin after the game concludes.[3][5]
• Special editions: in some seasons, the program has aired as 90 minutes for certain NFL-doubleheader Sundays, extending beyond the usual hour.[7]
• Availability note: local station scheduling can still vary, so checking your CBS affiliate or CBS schedule for the exact week is best practice.[6]

Illustration (how to check quickly):

• If you’re in Prague: US telecasts are typically late Sunday night/early Monday morning due to time zones. Use CBS local schedule or a streaming guide to confirm the exact start time for the current week. For example, Eastern Time 7:00 PM corresponds to Central Europe early Monday morning, so you’d look for 1:00–2:00 AM CET start depending on overruns.[6]
