2015–16 Canadian network television schedule

The 2015–16 network television schedules for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2015 through May 2016. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2014–2015 television season, for Canadian, American and other series.

CBC Television was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 28, 2015,[1][2] followed by Global on June 1, 2015[3] and Citytv on June 2, 2015;[4] this was followed by CTV and CTV Two on June 4.[5][6] 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.
