1993–94 United States network television schedule

This was the United States television schedule on all four commercial broadcast television networks for the fall season beginning in September 1993. All times are Eastern and Pacific, with certain exceptions, such as Monday Night Football.

New series are highlighted in bold.

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

  Yellow indicates the programs in the top 10 for the season.

  Cyan indicates the programs in the top 20 for the season.

  Magenta indicates the programs in the top 30 for the season.

Note: This is the first season in which Fox commenced television broadcasts on every night of the week from the beginning of the season onward.

PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, was in operation, but the schedule was set by each local station. From February 12 to 27, 1994, all of CBS' primetime programming was preempted in favor of coverage of the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.
