The 2016–17 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2016 through August 2017. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2015–16 television season, for Canadian, American and other series.
CBC Television was first to announce its fall schedule on May 26, 2016, followed by CTV and CTV Two, as well as City on May 30, 2016, and Global on June 9, 2016. As in the past, the commercial networks' announcements come shortly after the networks have had a chance to buy Canadian rights to new American series.
CTV Two and Global are not included on Saturday as they do not carry network programming.
Schedule New series are highlighted in bold. Series that have changed network are not highlighted as new series. All times given are in Canadian Eastern Time and Pacific Time (except for some live events or specials). Most CBC programming airs at the same local time in all time zones, except Newfoundland time (add 30 minutes). For commercial stations in the Central Time Zone, subtract one hour. For commercial stations in the Atlantic and Mountain time zones, add one hour for programming between 8:00 and 10:00 PM. Programs airing at 10:00 PM ET/PT will generally air at 8:00 PM local on stations in these areas. For viewers in the Newfoundland time zone, add an additional 30 minutes to the Atlantic time schedule. Notwithstanding the above, timeslots may occasionally vary further in some areas due to local simultaneous substitution considerations, compliance with watershed restrictions, or other factors.
