This is a list of original programming broadcast by ABS-CBN, a Philippine television network. The network is headquartered in ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center, Diliman, Quezon City.

On May 5, 2020, ABS-CBN was issued a cease-and-desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Solicitor General Jose Calida,[1] after the NTC refused to renew the network's franchise license earlier in February 2020. The franchise license expired on May 4, 2020, and a day later, ABS-CBN officially signed off in the evening.[2][3] On July 10, 2020, the House Committee on Legislative Franchises of the 18th Congress rejected the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN.[4][5] As a result, the network was forced to cease operations of some of its divisions and laid off its workers on August 31, 2020.[6]

After shutting down its terrestrial stations, ABS-CBN started distributing its shows on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z (DZOE-TV Channel 11 on analog free TV in Manila, DYPR-TV Channel 12 in Tacloban, and Channel 20 on digital TV nationwide), cable, satellite and online platforms. A2Z is a blocktime agreement between ABS-CBN Corporation and ZOE Broadcasting Network.
