Though Season 7 ended with only 13 episodes, the eighth season will revert to the original 22-episode pattern of the first six seasons. (via Deadline)

There’s no official SWAT Season 8 release date for Netflix. However, it is also expected to arrive on the streaming platform four to five months after the CBS finale. Season 7, for instance, wrapped on CBS in May and arrived on Netflix in October. The same pattern is anticipated for Season 8, allowing viewers to revisit or binge the entire season a few months after its initial airing.
