2019–20 Canadian network television schedule
The 2019–20 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2019 through August 2020. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2018–19 television season, for Canadian, American and other series.
CBC Television was first to announce its fall schedule on May 29, 2019,[1] followed by Global and Citytv on May 30,[2][3] and CTV and CTV 2 on June 6.[4] 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 2 and Global are not included on Saturday as they normally only schedule encore programming in primetime on Saturdays.
