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*. As the 2025–26 season concluded, subsequent rating data through week 45 continued to influence renewal decisions. Evaluations centered on advertiser-driven demographic ratings to determine the survival of various productions. New content being evaluated included ABC’s “9-1-1: Nashville,” CBS’s “America’s Culinary Cup,” FOX’s “Fear Factor: House of Fear,” NBC’s “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” and The CW’s “Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.” By early September, networks released final season average ratings for the 2025–26 season through week 49, which ended on 30 August 2026. These final national numbers, including live and same-day viewing, track the performance of programming across ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX, and NBC. The industry continues to prioritize demographic metrics, as advertisers typically pay higher rates for shows that attract younger viewers, who are considered harder to reach via traditional television. Following the conclusion of week 49, ratings tracking continued into week 50, ending on 6 September 2026. This period covers various series currently airing or recently premiered across major networks, such as ABC’s “Abbott Elementary,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” and “The Rookie”; CBS’s “NCIS,” “FBI,” and “Survivor”; FOX’s “American Dad!,” “Family Guy,” and “Hell’s Kitchen”; and The CW’s “All American” and “Wild Cards.”
