With the fall portion of the 2025-2026 season only a few weeks away, networks have now released all the premiere dates for their new and returning shows.

CBS revealed that its premiere week officially begins October 12, with special kick-offs for its Thursday night shows, Matlock and Elsbeth. Survivor and The Amazing Race‘s new seasons will also premiere ahead of them, in September. The rest of CBS’s lineup, including the all-NCIS night and universe expansions in the worlds of Fire Country and Blue Bloods, Sheriff Country and Boston Blue, will premiere as part of that October week.

ABC begins on Tuesday, September 16, with Dancing With the Stars returning for its 34th season and High Potential Season 2. Then, the newest Golden Bachelor‘s (Mel Owens) journey for love begins with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, September 24, at 8/7c, before moving to its regular time slot on October 1 at 9/8c. 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy return on Thursday, October 9, along with the former’s new spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville.

Then came Fox, which will kick things off with Celebrity Name That Tune and Celebrity Weakest Link on Monday, September 15. Murder in a Small Town and Doc return for their second seasons on Tuesday, September 23. And Fox’s Animation Domination premieres its new seasons on Sunday, September 28, with The Simpsons, Universal Basic Guys, Krapopolis, and Bob’s Burgers.

Finally, NBC‘s fall season begins with The Voice‘s return and the Brilliant Minds Season 2 premiere on Monday, September 22. Then the Law & Order franchise once again takes over Thursdays on September 24. Organized Crime Season 5  — which already streamed on Peacock (there’s no news about Season 6) — will be capping off the night, meaning The Hunting Party‘s second season has been delayed. One Chicago‘s series return on Wednesday, October 1, while NBC’s hit comedies St. Denis Medical and Happy’s Place both are back in November.
