2021–22 United States network television schedule

2021–22 United States network television schedule

Television schedule for the fall of 2021


The 2021–22 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the prime time hours from September 2021 to August 2022. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2020–21 television season.

NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 14, 2021,[1] followed by Fox on May 17,[2] ABC on May 18,[3] CBS on May 19,[4] and The CW on May 25, 2021.[5]

Effective this season, The CW began to air primetime programming on Saturday nights, marking the first time the network aired primetime programming seven nights a week, nearly thirty years after Fox had expanded to its own nightly schedule in 1993. Coincidentally, both networks gained sports programming soon after.[6]

PBS is not included, as 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 feature syndicated reruns.

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.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.[7]
