48 Hours kicks off its 38th season with a special half-hour preview episode titled Coached to Kill, airing Saturday, September 27, 2025, at 9:30 PM ET/PT on CBS. This early feature serves as a first look at a full-length investigation that will be broadcast later in the season.

The Story

Reported by correspondent Anne-Marie Green, Coached to Kill examines a disturbing case out of Jay County, Indiana, involving a high school softball coach accused of orchestrating a murder plot. According to investigators, the coach allegedly recruited one of her former players to help carry out a deadly plan targeting her ex-boyfriend.

Though just a 30-minute preview, the episode introduces the key players in the case and sets the stage for a deeper dive later in the season. It will include early details about the alleged conspiracy, insights into the relationships involved, and the steps that led authorities to uncover what they describe as a shocking betrayal of trust.

What to Expect

This brief but gripping preview gives audiences a taste of what’s to come in one of the season’s most talked-about episodes. With exclusive access and compelling interviews, Coached to Kill raises serious questions about power, influence, and manipulation within high school athletics.

Following the preview at 9:30 PM, the full-length season premiere episode, The Boy Who Killed His Twin, will air at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

Catch both back-to-back on CBS, and stream the episodes the next day on Paramount+.
