2019–20 United States network television schedule

The 2019–20 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the prime time hours from September 2019 to August 2020. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2018–19 season.

NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 12, 2019,^[1] followed by Fox on May 13,^[2] ABC on May 14,^[3] CBS on May 15,^[4] and The CW on May 16, 2019.^[5]

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.

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.^[6]

The TV season was strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the full impact of the health catastrophe did not hit until March 2020, by which time the network shows had already filmed the majority of their seasons' scripts, the entire primetime slate halted production that spring and did not resume it until the fall of 2020.

• Note: As with the two previous seasons, NBC aired all new live episodes of Saturday Night Live in real time with the rest of the United States, placing it in that time period for the Pacific and Mountain time viewers beginning September 28, with a rebroadcast following the late local news in those time zones. The network's affiliates in Alaska, Hawaii, and other Pacific Islands will continued to air the show on a delay. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, three "At Home" editions of the series have aired, but have been pre-compiled and edited before broadcast, airing after the late local news in all time zones.
• Note: Due to the suspension of the 2019–20 NBA season, NBA Saturday Primetime games were replaced by encores of ABC programming, as well as docuseries The Last Dance. The 76ers-Warriors game on March 7 wound up being the "season finale" for NBA Saturday Primetime, as the Warriors were not invited to Orlando when the NBA resumed play in July.
• Note: Fox aired primetime PBC Fight Cards throughout its Late summer programming schedule.
