The 2026–27 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States will cover the prime time hours from September 2026 to August 2027. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2025–26 television season.
PBS is not included, as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedule and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since both networks' schedules feature syndicated reruns.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows releasing in May 2027 is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
