This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 64.231.84.107 (talk) at 00:54, 30 May 2021 (→‎Citytv). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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][2] followed by Citytv on June 22,[3] and CTV and Global on June 23.[4][5] CTV was first to announce its winter schedule on December 1,[6] followed by Global on December 16[7] and the CBC on December 17, 2020.[8] 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 is not included on Saturday as it normally only schedules encore programming in primetime on Saturdays.
