2017–18 United States network television schedule
The 2017–18 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 2017 to August 2018. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2016–17 season.
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule, on May 14, 2017, followed by Fox on May 15, ABC on May 16, CBS on May 17, and The CW on May 18, 2017. NBC adjusted its schedule on May 30, 2017.
PBS is not included; member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since both networks' schedules consist of syndicated reruns (with limited original programming on the latter). The CW does not air network programming on weekend nights. However, they would return to programming a two-hour Sunday night schedule the following season.
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Note: From February 7 to February 25, 2018, all NBC primetime programming was pre-empted for coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
