The 2017–18 network television schedule for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2017 through August 2018. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2016–17 television season, for Canadian, American and other series.
CBC Television was first to announce its fall schedule on May 24, 2017,[1] followed by Global on June 5, 2017,[2]City on June 6, 2017,[3] and CTV and CTV Two on June 7, 2017.[4] 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.
CTV Two and Global are not included on Saturday as they normally only schedule encore programming in primetime on Saturdays.

Schedule
New series are highlighted in bold. Series that have changed network are not highlighted as new series.
All times given are in Canadian Eastern Time and Pacific Time (except for some live events or specials, including most sports, which are given in Eastern Time).
Most CBC programming airs at the same local time in all time zones, except Newfoundland time (add 30 minutes).
For commercial stations in the Central Time Zone, subtract one hour.
For commercial stations in the Atlantic and Mountain time zones, add one hour for programming between 8:00 and 10:00 PM. Programs airing at 10:00 PM ET/PT will generally air at 8:00 PM local on stations in these areas. For viewers in the Newfoundland time zone, add an additional 30 minutes to the Atlantic time schedule.
Notwithstanding the above, timeslots may occasionally vary further in some areas due to local simultaneous substitution considerations, compliance with watershed restrictions, or other factors.
