NBC has officially set its premiere dates for the fall 2026 broadcast season.
NBC will officially kickoff fall on Sept. 9 with NFL coverage of the Seattle Seahawks hosting the New England Patriots in a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl. The first Sunday night telecast will air Sept. 13 when the Dallas Cowboys meet the New York Giants.
The broadcaster will air the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sept. 14, with the fall scripted season beginning three days later on Sept. 17 with the premiere of “The Traitors: New Blood.” Alan Cumming once again hosts the civilian version of the smash hit competition series, which begins with a two-hour episode on the 17th. Another two-hour episode will air on Sept. 24, with the series then moving to a one-hour timeslot beginning Oct. 8.
Season 30 of “The Voice” begins Sept. 21 with new coaches Queen Latifah and Riley Green along with Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine. The new drama “Line of Fire” will follow the two-hour premiere of “The Voice.” The show stars Peter Krause and Hope Davis and follows a family of law enforcement professionals who are embroiled in a conspiracy.
All three “One Chicago” shows — “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire,” and “Chicago PD” — return on Wednesdays beginning Oct. 7. Then on Oct. 8, “Law & Order: SVU” returns followed by “Law & Order.”
On Oct. 23, Reba McEntire returns with “Happy’s Place” Season 3, followed by the series premiere of the new multi-cam comedy “Newlyweds” starring real-life husband and wife Téa Leoni and Tim Daly as two older adults who impulsively get married after a whirlwind romance.
Finally, Season 3 of “St. Denis Medical” will return on Nov. 2, followed by Season 2 of “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.”
As previously announced, the “Rockford Files” reboot starring David Boreanaz and the new comedy “Sunset P.I.” will be held for midseason.
NBC is also set to celebrate its 100 year anniversary with a three-hour special airing Dec. 10. Annual coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will air Nov. 26.
