1975–76 United States network television schedule

The 1975–76 network television schedule for the three major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the primetime hours from September 1975 through August 1976. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 1974–75 season.

This was the first season for the current 22-hour weekly prime-time network schedule of three hours nightly Monday through Saturday and four hours on Sundays for the first time since 1971 after revisions to the Prime Time Access Rule. While there were provisions for two additional half-hours in the early evening to be used for public affairs and family-oriented programming, these slots were rarely if ever used by the networks. This was also the first of two seasons in which the networks were compelled to air family-friendly content before 9 p.m. under the FCC's Family Viewing Hour policy

PBS is not included as member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules, and broadcast times for network shows may vary.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows released in May 1976 is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.^[1]

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.
