Fox sets September dates for autumn 2026 premieres

Variety · 1 hour ago

Fox has now announced its Fall 2026 premiere schedule, replacing the earlier placeholder and setting out when its entertainment, animation and sports programming will return.

– The formal primetime rollout begins on 21 September with Season 6 of “Celebrity Name That Tune” at 8pm, followed by Season 2 of “Celebrity Weakest Link” at 9pm.
– On 22 September, Fox schedules Season 2 of “Best Medicine” at 8pm and Season 3 of “Doc” at 9pm.
– On 23 September, Rob Lowe’s “The Floor” returns for Season 6 at 8pm, followed by Season 2 of “99 to Beat” at 9pm.
– On 24 September, Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen” launches its 25th season at 8pm, with Season 5 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test” at 9pm.
– Fox’s sports slate starts earlier, with “Fox College Football Friday” beginning on 4 September and “Fox Sports Saturday” continuing in its regular Saturday slot.
– Sunday programming expands on 27 September with NFL coverage leading into returning scripted and animated shows including “The Simpsons” Season 38, “Animal Control” Season 5, “Universal Basic Guys” Season 3 and “Grimsburg” Season 3.
– The dates matter because they map out Fox’s autumn schedule across entertainment and sport, showing reliance on established franchises, long-running reality formats and returning comedies rather than newly announced flagship launches.
