Fall 2026 TV Schedule: Your Guide to the Complete Lineup
It’s officially time to start looking ahead to fall 2026, even though season finales are still airing across the broadcast networks.
On Wednesday, April 15, CBS was the first network to announce its 2026-2027 season plans, and that includes some changes to its schedule for the fall. FBI and CIA are each moving up an hour on Mondays, and there’s some shuffling of the NCISverse on Tuesdays, with new series in the franchise New York bumping prequel Origins to 10/9c. Marshals is moving from a midseason show to a fall one.
Being held for the midseason are new series Einstein and the returns of Ghosts, Matlock, and NCIS: Sydney, all three of which were previously fall shows, on CBS. (Ghosts will still air one-hour Halloween and Ghostmas special episodes in the fall.)
On May 11, NBC and Fox set their schedules. NBC made a couple changes, with NBA taking over Tuesday nights. On Thursdays, the civilian version of The Traitors will be airing at 8/7c, and with SVU staying in its time slot, Law & Order is moving to 10/9c. Mondays’ lineup will change in November, with The Voice going from two hours to one and comedies St. Denis Medical and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins leading off the night; new drama Line of Fire, starring Peter Krause and Hope Davis will cap off the night.
Among NBC’s series being held for the midseason are The Rockford Files, a reboot starring David Boreanaz as the private investigator (January) and Sunset P.I. with Jake Johnson and Jane Levy (February).
Fox is holding new series Baywatch and The Interrogator as well as Memory of a Killer, Murder in a Small Town, American Dad!, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, Krapopolis, Crime Scene Kitchen, Don’t Forget the Lyrics, Extracted, Fear Factor: House of Fear, Gordon Ramsay’s Secret Service, LEGO Masters, The Masked Singer, MasterChef, and Next Level Chef for the midseason.
ABC was the last to announce its schedule, on May 12. R.J. Decker, which was a midseason show for its first season, is moving to the fall. That means High Potential is moving to the midseason. ESPN’s Monday Night Football will be taking over Monday nights. Also being held for the midseason are The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, Shifting Gears, The Rookie, new spinoff The Rookie: North, and Will Trent.

ABC is making a huge mistake not putting High Potential in the fall lineup. RJ Decker is not that good. Should have canceled that and put High Potential in the 10:00pm Tuesday night spot. CBS should move Tracker out of the Sunday night spot and put it on Mondays with FBI and CIA. I’ll give Boston Blue one more season. A terrible spinoff of Blue Bloods.

Looking forward to "Line-Up" with Peter Krause. Have really missed him on :911". Sorry I am having to wait until Jan 2027 to see the reboot of "Rockford Files" with David Boreanaz as Rockford. I really enjoy watching DB in all his roles. I read he researches his roles and he does a good job in portraying the person he emulates. I wish it was coming on in the Fall line up instead, I've missed him since they cancelled Seal Team.

G
where is matlock in the line up
-
C
Will start in February. They're working on the next season now that the Welbrexa storyline is done.

It's so annoying...I have to set my dvr for an extra 90 minutes so I can watch tracker...because of the games..they should absolutely move Tracker and also, cancel Boston Blue..it's terrible..CIA isn't so great either

You believe the crap CBS puts out. It was because the felon could not handle the true criticism!
-
G
I agree with all you said
-
L
Where is "DOC" and :Sheriff's Country"?
-
O
If you never watched him, why would you care if he's on or not? Example of what State TV does
-
G
9 shows we watch
the rest....eh
-
S
It says Tuesdays 9p September 22nd
-
J
Colbert won’t be missed.
-
J
It's 'Line of Fire', not 'Line-up'. It's on Mondays at 10 pm.
-
D
Sheriff's Country is on Friday nights at 8pm eastern time.
I did not see DOC
-
J
CBS losing 40 million a year is why Colbert was put on the trash heap also low ratings it’s a business people and it’s not a non profit
-
C
State TV? What a joke. It was a business decision. State TV is the alphabet soup networks (ABC, NBC, CBS), CNN and MSNOW selecting what is reported based on whether it aligns with or favors the political left.
-
G
I know Stephen Colbert is a comedian but I've never seen anything he was in (on)
Radicals seem obsessed with him.
-
?
Maybe CBS will.
-
R
Why is Big Brother not listed
-
N
Big Brother is a summer line up and ends at the start of the Fall Lineup which this whole article was about
-
-
