The 2018–19 daytime network television schedule for four of the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the daytime hours from September 2018 to August 2019. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, and any series canceled after the 2017–18 season.
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. Fox does not offer daytime network programming nor network news on weekdays; as such, schedules are only included for Saturdays and Sundays, The CW only airs programming on weekdays and Saturdays so therefore it’s not included on the Sunday schedule .. Also not included are 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).
Legend
New series are highlighted in bold.
Schedule All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii–Aleutian times. Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs.- TV listings - Yahoo.com Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference.

Notes: CBS owned-and-operated and affiliate stations have the option of airing Let's Make a Deal at either 10:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. Eastern, depending on the station's choice of feed. (*) The fourth hour of Today was renamed Today with Hoda & Jenna on April 8, 2019, when Jenna Bush Hager succeeded Kathie Lee Gifford as co-host of the program, alongside Hoda Kotb. While Today with Kathie Lee & Hoda/Today with Hoda & Jenna is part of Today, it is promoted as its own distinct program. (†) Beginning October 30, in the wake of the abrupt cancellation of Megyn Kelly Today, NBC reformatted the 9:00 a.m. Eastern hour of Today to feature anchors from the main broadcast hosting the third hour – which like Kelly's program is promoted as its own distinct entity – under the "Third Hour" titling. (**) GMA Day was renamed Strahan and Sara on January 28, 2019, a decision made to partially downplay its ties to parent series Good Morning America by placing a larger emphasis on its hosts (relegating references to GMA to the program's title logo).

To comply with FCC educational programming regulations, stations may defer certain programs featured in their respective network's E/I program blocks to determined weekend late morning or afternoon time periods if a sporting event is not scheduled in the timeslot or in place of paid programming that would otherwise be scheduled. Airtimes of sporting events may vary depending on the offerings scheduled for that weekend. Scheduling overruns may occur due to events going into overtime, weather delays or other game stoppages, preempting scheduled local or syndicated programming.
