The 2016–17 daytime network television schedule for four of the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday daytime hours from September 2016 to August 2017. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, and any series canceled after the 2015–16 season.
Beginning this daytime season, Saturday morning kids shows was rebranded to Saturday documentary programming since October 8, 2016.
Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are stations affiliated with Fox (as the network does not air a daytime network schedule or network news), The CW Plus and MyNetworkTV (as the programming services also do not offer daytime programs of any kind), and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns).

Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.
