NBC fall lineup
NBC fall lineup

NBC isn’t just adjusting its fall lineup—it’s reinventing it. For Fall 2025, the network is handing over three primetime nights to live sports, turning its schedule into a powerhouse of NFL football, NBA basketball, and Big Ten college matchups. It’s a clear statement: NBC is going all-in on events viewers can’t stream later.

Sports Dominate Primetime

NBC’s most aggressive move? Carving out half the week for sports.

  • Sundays: Anchored by Football Night in America and NFL Sunday Night Football

  • Tuesdays: New NBA broadcasts in October

  • Saturdays: Big Ten Saturday Night and exclusive Notre Dame Football coverage

Once the NFL season wraps, NBA games expand to Sunday nights, ensuring the momentum doesn’t slow.

This live-first approach reflects changing viewer habits—and NBC’s intent to own the sports conversation every week.

Scripted Programming: Leaner, Sharper, Wolf-ier

With fewer slots to spare, NBC is tightening its scripted lineup. Of the seven dramas on the schedule, five come from producer Dick Wolf, creator of "Law & Order" and "One Chicago"—brands that continue to deliver solid ratings.

Returning lineup includes:

  • Law & Order

  • Law & Order: SVU

  • Chicago Med

  • Chicago Fire

  • Chicago P.D.

  • Brilliant Minds

  • The Hunting Party

This leaner slate is strategic: trusted IPs, familiar formats, and franchise synergy.

Comedy and Unscripted: Small But Ambitious

NBC’s comedy block shrinks—but what’s coming packs a punch.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins

Starring Tracy Morgan as a fallen football star looking to rebrand his life, this series blends heart and humor. Tina Fey executive produces, and Daniel Radcliffe co-stars in a role far removed from his wizarding past.

St. Denis Medical and Happy’s Place

Both return in November, forming a soft relaunch pad for new half-hour shows.

On the unscripted side, Jimmy Fallon fronts a fresh take on reality competition with “On Brand.” Contestants must build marketing campaigns inside a mock agency, drawing comparisons to The Apprentice but with Fallon’s signature flair.

The Purge: Six Series Canceled

With a smaller slate comes hard cuts. NBC dropped six titles, including both freshman and veteran shows:

  • Lopez vs. Lopez

  • Night Court (revival)

  • Found

  • Grosse Pointe Garden Society

  • Suits: L.A.

  • The Irrational

Only St. Denis Medical, Brilliant Minds, and The Hunting Party survived to see another season.

Final Word: NBC Bets on What You Can’t Miss
