2018–19 United States network television schedule
Updated: 5/20/2026, 7:12:08 PM Wikipedia source
The 2018–19 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the prime time hours from September 2018 to August 2019. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2017–18 season. NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 13, 2018, followed by Fox on May 14, ABC on May 15, CBS on May 16, and The CW on May 17, 2018. On May 29, 2018, ABC removed Roseanne from its Tuesday lineup due to a controversial statement made by Roseanne Barr on Twitter about Valerie Jarrett, and replaced it with The Conners on June 21 for the fall. 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, The CW Plus, and MyNetworkTV are also not included since the networks' schedules comprise syndicated reruns (with limited original programming on the latter two). The CW does not air network programming on Saturday nights. Each of the 30 highest-rated shows released in May 2019 is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research. Beginning with this season, The CW returned to programming a Sunday evening schedule for the first time since the 2008–09 season as of October 7 (the network commenced its regular Sunday schedule the following week, on October 14); programming formerly airs on that night from 8 p . to 10 p . ET/PT (until October 1, 2023 which now airs from 7 p . to 10 p . ET/PT) making it the only broadcast television network to not program the Sunday 7 p . ET/PT hour since that hour was given to the broadcast networks through the implementation of a 1975 amendment to the since-repealed Prime Time Access Rule (PTAR). New series to broadcast television are highlighted in bold. Repeat airings or same-day rebroadcasts are indicated by (R). All times are U . Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii–Aleutian times. All sporting events air live in all time zones in U . Eastern time, with local and/or late-night programming scheduled by affiliates after game completion.
