FOX 2026 Fall Primetime Lineup - When do Your Favourite Shows Premiere?

---

FOX is once again leaning heavily on its successful unscripted lineup this fall, with reality competitions taking over much of the weekly schedule. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays will feature returning reality competition favourites and Tuesdays remain dedicated to medical dramas. Following its successful winter debut, Best Medicine moves into the fall lineup alongside Doc.

The network's biggest scheduling adjustment comes on Sundays. While Animation Domination remains largely intact, Animal Control shifts from Thursdays to the 8:30 p.m. slot, making it the lone live-action comedy among FOX's animated lineup.

FOX is opting for a streamlined rollout, with nearly all of its fall premieres arriving during a single launch week beginning Monday, September 21. The week wraps up on Sunday with the debut of FOX's animated block, as well as Animal Control.

Several scripted series will instead be saved for midseason. Murder in a Small Town and Memory of a Killer are both set to return in early 2027, joined by animated favourites American Dad!, Bob's Burgers, Family Guy, and Krapopolis.

Looking further ahead, FOX is preparing to debut two high-profile dramas in 2027. Baywatch will receive a modern reboot featuring an entirely new cast led by Stephen Amell, while The Interrogator stars Stephen Fry as an MI6 operative assembling a specialized team to hunt down some of the world's most dangerous criminals.
