We may be in the middle of the 2025-2026 season, but the broadcast networks are already unveiling their plans for season finales.
Fox, at the same time that it announced its spring premiere dates in February, revealed the finale dates for its current primetime lineup. It all begins at the end of March with Fear Factor: House of Fear and goes through April (Memory of a Killer, Best Medicine, and Doc) and into May (Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and Next Level Chef). Also, note that, like usual, The Masked Singer season finale, during which another celebrity will be named the winner (and unmasked), will be two hours.
CBS, in March, also set its finale dates, starting in April with two hours for Matlock. Series finale dates include Watson (May 3), The Neighborhood and DMV (May 11), and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (May 21). The last scripted season finales will air on May 24, with Marshals and Tracker.
We also know some of NBC and ABC’s, including for One Chicago, Law & Order, SVU, Grey’s Anatomy, 9-1-1, High Potential, and more.
Season finales tend to air in April and May, but there are several factors that go into that, including scheduling and episode orders. And so there may be some airing earlier, like we see with Fox in March, or even later, into early June.
Read on for all the season — and possible series for some, as networks plan their 2026-2027 schedules — finale dates we know across the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC), and bookmark this page because it will be updated as more are announced in the coming months.
