The 2026–27 network television schedule, covering prime time from September 2026 to August 2027, will see the five major US broadcast networks unveil their lineups. CBS kicked off the announcements on April 15, 2026, with NBC and Fox following on May 11 and ABC on May 12, while The CW notably skipped upfronts due to a lack of original programming. The season will be heavily influenced by live sports, as NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL games can force local affiliates to delay or preempt primetime shows. Viewers can also expect major preemptions for ABC's two-week Jeopardy! Masters special in late August/September and Fox's coverage of the 2026 World Series in late October. New series will be highlighted in bold, the top 30 shows from June 2027 will be ranked by Nielsen ratings, and PBS is excluded due to its member stations' local scheduling flexibility.
