2023–24 United States network television schedule

The 2023–24 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the prime time hours from September 2023 to August 2024. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2022–23 television season. The schedule was affected by strikes undertaken by the Writers Guild of America (which began on May 2 and ended on September 27) and SAG-AFTRA (which began on July 14 and ended on November 9). Programming impacts on the 2023–24 season itself were limited in comparison to previous television seasons affected by Hollywood labor disputes.

CBS was the first to announce its initial fall schedule on May 10, 2023, via press release (without an upfront presentation). However, as a result of the ongoing strikes, a revised schedule for CBS was released on July 17 (with its premiere dates announced on August 3). This was followed by NBC, which also announced its initial schedule on May 12 (with their upfront presentation at 11 a.m. Eastern Time on May 15), but later announced its revised schedule on July 19 and August 29 (along with the premiere dates), and ABC which announced its initial schedule on May 16 (with their upfront presentation at 4 p.m. that day) but later announced part of its revised schedule (along with its premiere dates on August 21), with its Tuesday and Monday schedule (along with its premiere dates) on September 12 and 18 respectively. The CW announced its initial fall schedule on May 18 (their upfront presentation of the original schedule was held at 11 a.m. that day), before it was revised on June 6 with the release of its summer schedule for the previous season, and its replacement programming was announced on July 12 (along with their premiere dates). Fox announced its programming on May 15 via press release that morning (with their upfront presentation at 4 p.m. that day), but released its Sunday schedule (along with its release dates) on July 10, along with the rest of its prime-time schedule (which was revised due to the strike, however its original schedule wasn't announced) (with their premiere dates) on July 11.

This would be the first season that CBS News and Stations disaffiliated from The CW, as Paramount announced on May 5, 2023, that it would exercise the right with the transaction to disaffiliate all eight of their CW affiliates on September 1, 2023. As a result, this would be the first season that Nexstar Media Group would be majority owner of The CW, acquiring a 75-percent ownership stake; former joint owners Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery retained a 25-percent stake, split at nominal 12.5-percent stakes for both companies.

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 consist of syndicated reruns and live sports (with limited original programming on the latter).

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows releasing in May 2024 will be listed with their ranks and ratings as determined by Nielsen Media Research.

Beginning this season, The CW began airing programming during the first hour of prime-time on Sundays.

Impact of the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes
On May 2, the Writers Guild of America went on strike, followed by SAG-AFTRA on July 13. The absence of working writers and actors through the summer led to scripted television production being shut down completely. The Writers Guild of America strike ended on September 27, while the SAG-AFTRA strike ended on November 9.

Network schedules were heavily altered in response to these strikes. The vast majority of new or returning live-action scripted series on the broadcast networks were delayed, pushing their premieres until 2024. Sports, reality shows, and game shows filled many time slots as SAG-AFTRA members were permitted to work on such productions during the strike.

In other moves to work around the strikes, NBC delayed drama series Found, which was originally intended to air as a mid-season replacement in the 2022–23 season, to fall 2023, while also fast-tracking the production of other scripted series such as the second season (of the revival, seventh overall) of Quantum Leap and the premiere season of The Irrational.

CBS aired series originally produced for sister properties, including Yellowstone (Paramount Network), Paramount+ shows SEAL Team (which originated on CBS) and FBI True, and NCIS: Sydney, an Australian spin-off of NCIS originally intended for  Paramount+ and Network 10 before being added to the CBS schedule as well. Episodes of Ghosts, the BBC series on which the American adaptation was based, have also been added to the CBS schedule. Later in November, CBS announced that Matlock (a reboot of the original 1980s series with a female lead), originally scheduled to air Sundays at 8 p.m., was forced to be moved to next season due to production delays.

ABC aired additional sports coverage sourced from sister network ESPN. In the fall, ABC added 10 Monday Night Football games in simulcast with ESPN, on top of the seven simulcast or exclusive games previously scheduled. In January 2024, ABC aired five NBA games on Wednesday nights that were originally scheduled to air on ESPN.

Fox stacked their schedule with unscripted series from Monday through Thursday nights, its Friday night (WWE SmackDown) and weekend sports programming was not affected. Its Sunday night animation lineup was also unaffected due to the long lead times required to produce such series. The CW is likewise relying more on unscripted programming as well as international acquisitions, though network executives stated that this was a long-term strategy shift following its acquisition by Nexstar rather than a specific reaction to the strike.
