# 2015–16 United States network television schedule

The 2015–16 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 2015 to August 2016. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2014–15 season.
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 10, 2015, followed by Fox on May 11, ABC on May 12, CBS on May 13, and The CW on May 14.
PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Ion Television and MyNetworkTV are also not included since the majority of both networks' schedules comprise syndicated reruns (with limited original programming on the latter). The CW is not included on weekends, since it does not offer network programming.
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central and Mountain times.
Note: From August 5 to August 21, 2016, all NBC primetime programming was pre-empted for coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
