2015–16 United States network television schedule

The 2015–16 network television schedule for the major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers primetime 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. Prime Network announced it's fall schedule on May 17.
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 former). The CW is not included on weekends, since it does not offer network programming.
==Schedule==
*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.
*From August 5 to August 21, 2016 all of NBC's primetime programming will be preempted during coverage of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
