2009–10 United States network television schedule

The 2009–10 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers primetime hours from September 2009 through August 2010. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2008–09 season.

Fox was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 18, 2009,^[1] followed by ABC and NBC on May 19,^[2][3] CBS on May 20,^[4] and The CW on May 21, 2009.^[5]

PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcasts times for network shows may vary. NBC stripped The Jay Leno Show weeknights at 10 p.m. Eastern/9 p.m. Central, but removed it after the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. The CW eliminated its Sunday night programming block and returned that time to local affiliates; it returned to programming Sunday nights in the 2018-19 season.^[6] After four years as a network, MyNetworkTV became a programming service, and therefore not recognized as a network.^[7]

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.

Note: From February 12 to February 28, 2010, all NBC primetime programming was pre-empted for coverage of 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.^[8]
