February 2026 TV Schedule: Every New and Returning Show to Watch in the U.S.
US TV Full Schedule February 2026

February is always a complicated month for American television, but February 2026 is especially packed. Between the Super Bowl, the Winter Olympics, awards season, and the traditional midseason relaunch, networks and streamers are rolling out many of their most important titles in just four weeks.

This guide pulls together everything confirmed so far for U.S. TV in February 2026, aligned with major industry schedules such as Deadline’s annual TV premiere calendar. It combines a full list by date with context on what matters most, so you can plan your watchlist without missing a premiere.

All dates below are U.S. release dates unless otherwise noted. Streaming titles typically drop at midnight PT.

Why February 2026 Looks Different Than Most TV Months

Before diving into the list, it helps to understand the rhythm of February TV.

  • Early February is shaped by awards shows, reality launches, and streaming drops rather than scripted broadcast premieres.

  • Super Bowl week (February 8) disrupts nearly every network schedule, pushing many shows to later weeks.

  • The Winter Olympics (beginning February 6) dominate NBC and Peacock and indirectly affect competitive scheduling across all broadcast networks.

  • The final full week of February becomes the true start of the broadcast midseason, when networks finally roll out new dramas, comedies, and returning franchises.

This pattern explains why February 23–27 emerges as the most important stretch of the month for scripted television.

Highlights: What TV Fans Should Prioritize

The Busiest Streamer of the Month

Netflix leads February in volume and consistency, with major releases spaced across the entire month. From early-season returns like The Lincoln Lawyer to late-month tentpoles such as Bridgerton, Netflix’s February strategy is designed to keep subscribers engaged weekly rather than relying on a single drop.

Broadcast’s Midseason Comeback

CBS and NBC both wait until after the Olympics to roll out their most important scripted and reality content. According to industry scheduling norms reflected in Deadline’s calendar, this delayed launch helps new shows avoid being overshadowed by live sports.

Event TV Still Shapes Everything

Super Bowl LX and the Winter Olympics do more than draw massive audiences. They dictate when other shows can realistically succeed, which is why February often feels front-loaded with streaming and back-loaded with broadcast premieres.

February Programming Notes

  • Several cable and unscripted series traditionally listed in long-form premiere calendars appear throughout the month but are not always assigned broad promotional campaigns.

  • Political and live-event programming, such as national addresses or sports lead-ins, may cause minor preemptions or time-slot adjustments, particularly during Olympic coverage weeks.

  • As is typical for February schedules, some streamers list titles as “February” without fixed dates until one to two weeks before release.

What’s Still TBD (But Expected in February)

  • Love Story (FX), a high-profile drama from Ryan Murphy, remains officially slated for February 2026 without a confirmed premiere date.

  • A small number of documentary specials and reality formats across streaming platforms are still labeled “TBA February,” consistent with past release patterns.

Final Takeaway

February 2026 is not a slow TV month. It is a compressed, high-stakes stretch where nearly every major network and streamer makes strategic moves. For viewers, that means more premieres, more returns, and more competition for attention than usual.
