We now know when Fox’s Animation Domination lineup will officially undergo a major change: The network has announced its fall 2026 premiere dates.

Fox’s fall season begins on Monday, September 21, with Celebrity Name That Tune, hosted by Jane Krakowski with Robin Thicke the new bandleader, and Celebrity Weakest Link, hosted by Jane Lynch.

Game shows take over Wednesdays beginning September 23 with Rob Lowe‘s The Floor (with a “Champions” theme), followed by 99 to Beat, hosted by Ken Jeong and Erin Andrews.

Hell’s Kitchen returns for its historic 25th season on Thursday, September 25, with tall chefs under 25 years old competing. That will be followed by Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, with 15 new celebrity recruits.

Fox’s midseason lineup includes: dramas Baywatch, Memory of A Killer, Murder in a Small Town, The Interrogator; half-hour animated comedies American Dad!, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy, and Krapopolis; and unscripted series Crime Scene Kitchen, Don’t Forget The Lyrics, Extracted, Fear Factor: House of Fear, Gordon Ramsay‘s Secret Service, LEGO Masters, Marriage Market, Next Level Baker, Next Level Chef, and The Masked Singer.
