2012–13 United States network television schedule

The 2012–13 network television schedule for the five major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers primetime hours from September 2012 through August 2013. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2011–12 season.

NBC was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 13, 2012, followed by Fox on May 14, 2012, then ABC on May 15, 2012, CBS on May 16, 2012 and The CW on May 17, 2012.

PBS is not included; member stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. The CW is not included on weekends, when it does not offer network programming. Ion Television airs primarily syndicated reruns, along with new episodes of The Listener from Canada's CTV and professional wrestling program WWE Main Event. MyNetworkTV also offers syndicated reruns, with no original programming.
