Latest News About Abc Fall 2026 Schedule

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]
