Broadcast Calendar

Primetime Premieres: confirmed fall 2026 series and season launches on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and The CW, checked October 20, 2026. Enable Primetime Premieres under Event filters, then select a network if needed. Airtimes retain the network’s published ET or ET/PT labels; check your local station. Premiere .ics entries use the announced date, with airtime in the description. Midseason dates are added only once confirmed; premiere listings are a verified snapshot.

Broadcast months end on the last Sunday of the calendar month. Week 1 starts on the Monday of the week containing January 1. Quarters group three broadcast months; they can cross calendar-year boundaries. Day-of-year and days remaining use the regular calendar year.

Routine monthly audience-measurement survey periods are explained here rather than shown as daily calendar entries. They are not included in date details, weekly highlights, search results or exports. February, May, July and November sweeps remain traditional planning references and can be shown or hidden with the Sweeps checkbox.
