The 2016–17 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 2016 to August 2017. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2015–16 season.

NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 15, 2016,[1] followed by Fox on May 16,[2] ABC on May 17,[3] and CBS on May 18.[4] The CW will be the last network to be announced on May 19, 2016.[5]

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' schedules 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.
