2013–14 United States network television schedule

The 2013–14 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers primetime hours from September 2013 to August 2014. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2012–13 season.

NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 12, 2013, followed by Fox on May 13, ABC on May 14, CBS on May 15, and The CW on May 16, 2013.

PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. The CW is not included on weekends, when it does not offer network programming. 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).

New series are highlighted in bold.

All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific time (except for some live events or specials). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska and Hawaii-Aleutian times.

Note: From February 6 to February 23, 2014, all NBC primetime programming was pre-empted for coverage of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
