2017–18 United States network television schedule

The 2017–18 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the prime time hours from September 2017 to August 2018. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2016–17 season.

Thursday
Notes • On both CBS and NBC, Thursday Night Kickoff and Football Night in... started at 7:30 p.m. ET out of primetime depending on the network carrying the game, preempting local programming. NBC's scheduling for the NFL's Kickoff Game and Thanksgiving night game was under the different Sunday Night Football package and game coverage filled the entirety of primetime. ==Friday==
Saturday
Notes • NBC carried primetime coverage of Notre Dame college football on September 9 and October 21, along with a special Sunday Night Football game on December, a January 2018 NFL Wild Card, the NHL Stadium Series on March 3, the first, second and third round NHL playoff games in April and late May and the 2018 Coke Zero Sugar 400 on July 7, while CBS carried one SEC college football game in November, and the NCAA men's basketball tournament in late March and Fox carried five Ultimate Fighting Championship fights on December 16, January 27, February 24, April 14 and July 28, and the 2018 Toyota Owners 400 on April 21. • NBC's Pacific and Mountain Time Zone affiliates carry new episodes of Saturday Night Live in real time with the rest of the United States, placing its airtime within the prime time period throughout this season (except for the February 3 episode due to the commitments to carry the 7th NFL Honors); a re-air is broadcast after the late local news in those time zones. The network's affiliates in Alaska, Hawaii and other Pacific islands carry the show on delay as usual. ==By network==
