2023–24 United States network television schedule (daytime) explained

The 2023–24 afternoon network television schedule for the four major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers the weekday and weekend afternoon hours from September 2023 to August 2024. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning and cancelled shows from the 2022–23 season. The daytime schedules for the four major networks that offer afternoon programming are expected to remain consistent with the prior television season.

Affiliates fill time periods not occupied by network programs with local or syndicated programming. PBS – which offers daytime programming through a children's program block, PBS Kids – is not included, as its member television stations have local flexibility over most of their schedules and broadcast times for network shows may vary. Also not included are The CW and MyNetworkTV (as the programming services do not offer daytime programs of any kind except for CW Sports) and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns).

Fox is not included on the weekday schedule as it only airs afternoon programming (in the form of sports content) during weekends.

Please note that the schedules for the networks are affected by the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes.
