2023–24 Canadian network television schedule
The 2023–24 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2023 through August 2024. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2022–23 television season, for Canadian, American, and other series. The schedule was affected by strikes undertaken by the Writers Guild of America (which began on May 2 and ended on September 27)[1] and SAG-AFTRA (which began on July 14 and concluded on November 9).
Citytv was first to announce its fall schedule on June 6, 2023,[2] followed by Global on August 22, 2023,[3] CBC Television on August 23, 2023,[4] and CTV on September 13, 2023.[5] CBC[6] was first to announce its Winter schedule on December 4, 2023, followed by Global[7] on December 7, 2023, and CTV[8] on December 18, 2023. Yes TV (including indieNET) and Omni Television are not included as member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules. CTV 2 is not included on Saturday as it normally only schedules encore programming in primetime on Saturdays.
