Fox will have a very traditional rollout of its fall schedule this year.
The network has set its premiere dates for the start of the 2026-27 TV season, and aside from its two nights of live sports, all of them will come in the week of Sept. 21 — the first week of the Nielsen-measured season.
As has been the case for the past few seasons, Fox’s fall slate is heavy on unscripted and sports programming. The exceptions are on Tuesday nights, where Best Medicine and Doc will premiere Sept. 22, and Sundays, where season 38(!) of The Simpsons leads off a comedy block beginning Sept. 27.
We say “comedy” instead of “animation” because the Sunday lineup will feature a live-action comedy for the first time in eight years. Animal Control will follow The Simpsons at 8:30 p.m., with animated shows Universal Basic Guys and Grimsburg filling 9 o’clock hour.
