## Key points

- Fox has fixed its September 2026 autumn premiere dates.
- Entertainment launches from 21 September, with sport starting earlier.
- “The Simpsons”, “The Floor” and “Hell’s Kitchen” all return.

## Summary

Fox has set its autumn 2026 premiere schedule, confirming when a range of returning entertainment, drama, animation and sports programmes will come back to air in September. The announcement matters because it gives viewers and advertisers a clear picture of the network’s line-up for the start of the US broadcast season, including key unscripted brands such as “The Floor” and “Hell’s Kitchen” alongside scripted series and live sport. The formal primetime roll-out begins on 21 September, with the schedule then building across the week before Sunday animation and comedy return later in the month.

The first night features Season 6 of “Celebrity Name That Tune” at 8pm and Season 2 of “Celebrity Weakest Link” at 9pm, followed on 22 September by Season 2 of “Best Medicine” and Season 3 of “Doc”. On 23 September, Rob Lowe’s “The Floor” returns for Season 6, paired with Season 2 of “99 to Beat”, while 24 September brings Season 25 of Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and Season 5 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test”. Fox’s sports schedule starts earlier, with “Fox College Football Friday” from 4 September and “Fox Sports Saturday” continuing in its regular slot, before 27 September adds “NFL on Fox”, “The Simpsons” Season 38, “Animal Control” Season 5, “Universal Basic Guys” Season 3 and “Grimsburg” Season 3.
