Fox Fall 2026 Premiere Dates: ‘Best Medicine,’ Animation Block, NFL
As we head into midsummer, Fox is looking to autumn. The network on Tuesday released its fall 2026 schedule for drama, comedy, toon, reality and game shows, starting with the September 21-27 premiere week.
There are no new series on the network’s fall sked, but three are slated for 2026-27: the Baywatch reboot, drama The Interrogator and dating show Marriage Market. See the rest of its midseason slate and the full fall schedule below.
Sunday remains mostly a toon night on Fox, but a live-action comedy is joining the lineup in Season 5 of Animal Control. It will follow the new seasons of The Simpsons and precede Universal Cable Guys and Grimsburg in the Animation Domination block.
