2018–19 United States network television schedule

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.m. to 10 p.m. ET/PT (until October 1, 2023 which now airs from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET/PT) making it the only broadcast television network to not program the Sunday 7 p.m. 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hour since that hour was given to the broadcast networks through the implementation of a 1975 amendment to the since-repealed Prime Time Access Rule (PTAR).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.S. 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.S. Eastern time, with local and/or late-night programming scheduled by affiliates after game completion.

• Note: ABC began airing American Idol live to allow Contiguous United States and Canadian CTV viewers to vote in all time zones in April, with the rebroadcasts airing in its regular time period in the Pacific, Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam time zones.

• Note: On Fox, the network's pre-game show (co-produced with NFL Network and entitled Fox NFL Thursday) starts at 7:30 p.m. ET out of primetime, preempting local programming. NBC will carry NFL football games consuming the entirety of prime time on September 6 and November 22, for the NFL Kickoff game and Thanksgiving Day game, respectively, which for ratings measurement and contract purposes are counted within the Sunday Night Football package.

• Note: NBC aired primetime coverage of Notre Dame college football on September 1, 29, and November 10, the 2019 NHL All-Star Game on January 26, a regional NHL Game of the Week on February 2, the 2019 NHL Stadium Series game on February 23, and first, second, and third round NHL playoff games in April and late May. CBS carried two primetime college football games (the Navy–Notre Dame game and the Alabama–LSU game), the NCAA men's basketball tournament for two Saturdays in late March, and two regional Alliance of American Football games on February 9.

• Note: NBC's Pacific and Mountain Time Zone affiliates carry new episodes of Saturday Night Live in real time with the rest of the United States, placing its airtime within the prime time period throughout this season; a re-air is broadcast after the late local news in those time zones. The network's affiliates in Alaska, Hawaii and other Pacific islands carry the show on delay as usual.

• Note: Fox and ABC's college football package airs live in all time zones, with local programming by affiliates in western time zones after game completion.
