US broadcast TV programming and ratings

In late July 2026, major U.S. networks began outlining their upcoming fall schedules. CBS announced a slate of new and returning series for the 2026‑2027 primetime season, including fresh dramas such as *Marshals* and *Tracker* and the continuation of long‑running shows like *60 Minutes*, *Survivor* and *The Amazing Race*. ABC released its own lineup, featuring the kickoff of Monday Night Football, a two‑night premiere of *Dancing With the Stars*, and new episodes of *Scrubs*, *Shark Tank* and *Grey’s Anatomy*.

A few days later, the industry received the final average ratings for the 2025‑26 broadcast season. The data highlighted which programs on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and The CW were attracting strong viewership and which faced renewal pressure. Shows such as ABC’s *9‑1‑1* and *Grey’s Anatomy*, CBS’s *NC IS* and *Survivor*, and NBC’s *America’s Got Talent* performed well, while others showed weaker numbers. These ratings provide networks with demographic insights that will shape decisions about future scheduling, renewals and cancellations as they move toward the newly announced fall lineups.
