The 2024–25 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States will cover the prime time hours from September 2024 to August 2025. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2023–24 television season.
CBS was the first to announce its initial fall schedule on May 2, 2024 via press release (and without an upfront presentation).[1] This was followed by NBC on May 10 (with its upfront presentation at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on May 13),[2] Fox on May 13 (with its upfront presentation at 4 p.m. that day),[3] ABC on May 14 (with its upfront presentation at 4 p.m. the same day),[4][5] and The CW on May 16 (without an upfront presentation).[6][7]
PBS is not included, as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedule and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since both networks' schedules feature syndicated reruns.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows releasing in May 2025 is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
