US Television networks release 2025-26 season ratings

Television networks have released the final season average ratings for new 2025-26 series through the end of week 49, ending August 30, 2026. The data tracks the performance of new programming across major US networks, including ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, and NBC.

Ratings are measured based on final national numbers, including live and same-day viewing. The industry continues to prioritize demographic numbers, as advertisers typically pay higher rates for shows that attract younger viewers, who are considered harder to reach via traditional television.
