The 2017–18 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 2017 to August 2018. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2016–17 season.

NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule, on May 14, 2017,^[1] followed by Fox on May 15,^[2] ABC on May 16,^[3] CBS on May 17,^[4] and The CW on May 18, 2017.^[5] NBC adjusted its schedule on May 30, 2017.^[6]

PBS is not included; member television 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' schedule comprise syndicated reruns (with limited original programming on the former). The CW is not included on the weekends since it does not carry network programming.
