Below are the time by U.S. zone, the Knicks games around the airing and a one-page planner for the week of Nov. 2 to 8.

What time does Jalen Brunson’s SVU episode air?

NBC Insider says Brunson “will appear in Episode 5 of SVU Season 28, which airs on Thursday, November 5 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.” Its second post says his SVU debut airs on NBC on Nov. 5, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET and streams on Peacock the following day. NBC Insider titles the episode “Forsaken”.

U.S. clocks fall back on Nov. 1, so Nov. 5 is on standard time. The table converts NBC’s Eastern listing.

Where	Time on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026
Eastern	9 p.m. ET on NBC
Central	8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET converted)
Mountain	7 p.m. (9 p.m. ET converted)
Pacific	6 p.m. (9 p.m. ET converted)
Peacock	Friday, Nov. 6; NBC gives no streaming time

NBC lists 9 p.m. ET. Check local listings for Pacific and Mountain zones, because the converted times above are arithmetic, not an NBC schedule.

Who does Jalen Brunson play on SVU?

NBC Insider says Brunson plays Detective Madison. This story does not give plot details beyond that, and NBC’s pages we read do not name other guest cast for the episode.

How can you watch Brunson’s SVU episode on Peacock?

NBC’s line is “Watch Law & Order: SVU Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC and next day on Peacock.” For this episode, that means Friday, Nov. 6. The streaming service’s other November arrivals are in new on Peacock in November 2026.

Where does the episode fall in Season 28?

NBC’s SVU page lists Season 28 episodes 1 to 4, and dates episode 4, “Arcana,” Oct. 29, 2026. Brunson’s Episode 5 follows a week later. We could not confirm the date of Episode 6.

TV Insider reported on May 11, 2026, that NBC’s Thursday lineup puts The Traitors at 8 p.m., Law & Order: SVU at 9 p.m. and Law & Order at 10 p.m. ET.
