After several years of successful data taking, the CMS experiment at CERN will be subject to important upgrades in the decade to come. Some of these upgrades will be implemented before the start of the LHC Run III (end of 2020), while others before the start of the so called High-Luminosity LHC (2026), in which an instantaneous luminosity of 5 to 7.5 10^34 cm-2 s-1 will be provided by the accelerator . Such a high luminosity will eventually allow several thousands of inverse femtobarns to be collected by the experiment so that the physics potential of the LHC will be fully exploited. In this talk a general overview of the upgrade programme of the CMS experiment will be given together with the expected physics potential.
