2020–21 Canadian network television schedule
The 2020–21 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2020 through August 2021. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 2019–20 television season, for Canadian, American and other series. CBC was first to announce its fall schedule on May 27, 2020,[1] followed by Citytv on June 22,[2] and CTV and Global on June 23.[3][4] As in the past, the commercial networks' announcements come shortly after they 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.

Legend
- Light blue indicates local programming.
- Grey indicates encore programming.
- Light green indicates sporting events.
- Light purple indicates movies.
- Red indicates Canadian content shows, which is programming that originated in Canada.
Schedule
- New series to Canadian television are highlighted in bold.
- All times given are in Canadian Eastern Time and Pacific Time (except for some live events or specials, including most sports, which are given in Eastern Time). Subtract one hour for Central time for most programs (excluding CBC). Airtimes may vary in the Atlantic and Mountain times and do not necessarily align with U.S. stations in the Mountain time zone. Add one half-hour to Atlantic Time schedule for Newfoundland time. (See also: Effects of time zones on North American broadcasting)
- Programs in the 7:00 p.m. hour may be aired in reverse order in some areas due to simultaneous substitution concerns (e.g., if the American station available locally airs ET at 7:30 p.m. instead of 7:00).
