Here’s the latest on ABC’s fall 2026 schedule based on recent reports:
- The core fall lineup remains largely intact from 2025–26, with established favorites on their usual nights. This includes 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Nashville on Thursdays, Abbott Elementary and Scrubs on Wednesdays, and Dancing with the Stars on Tuesdays, continuing ABC’s emphasis on stable, proven hits.[1][3]
- The big change is the midseason shift for High Potential, which moves to midseason, while R.J. Decker transitions to fall (occupying the Tuesday 8 p.m. slot). The network notes renewed commitment to its scripted slate and plans for additional midseason series in the The Rookie universe, including The Rookie: North slated for 2027.[2][3][1]
- ABC’s fall schedule also features the standard Sunday–Friday blocks, including The Wonderful World of Disney on Sundays and Celebrity Jeopardy! on Wednesdays, with a Sunday night focus on family-friendly programming. Fall premiere dates were not specified in these early announcements and are to be announced later.[3][1]
Illustration of the key shifts (compact view)
- Tuesday: Dancing with the Stars at 8 p.m.; RJ Decker at 10 p.m. (new/relocated fit)[1][3]
- Wednesday: Scrubs at 8 p.m.; Abbott Elementary at 8:30 p.m.; Celebrity Jeopardy! at 9 p.m.; Shark Tank at 10 p.m. (solidified lineup)[3][1]
- Thursday: 9-1-1 at 8 p.m.; 9-1-1: Nashville at 9 p.m.; Grey’s Anatomy at 10 p.m. (unchanged anchors)[3]
- Monday and other nights: Monday Night Football continues; Sunday’s The Wonderful World of Disney and AFHV; Friday’s 20/20 two-hour block (per schedule notes)[1][3]
