The 2010–11 network television schedule for the five major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 2010 through August 2011.
The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2009–10 season. As in previous years, the schedule omits the Public Broadcasting Service (whose programming is listed here).
NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 16, 2010, followed by Fox on May 17, ABC on May 18, CBS on May 19, and The CW on May 20, 2010.
PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. The CW is not included on weekends, since it does not offer network programming. Beginning this season, MyNetworkTV is completely excluded; with the loss of WWE Friday Night SmackDown to Syfy, it has a schedule of all archived and rerun programming.
New series are highlighted in bold.
All times are U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time (except for some live sports or events). Subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.
