NBC Fall 2025 Schedule: Premiere Dates, Returning Favorites and a Few Surprises

Ready or not, NBC is coming in hot this fall with a lineup that's equal parts familiar, fresh and a little chaotic in the best way. Whether you're a die-hard #OneChicago fan, an SVU loyalist, or just here for Snoop Dogg on The Voice, the Peacock network has something for everyone this season. Let’s break down the NBC Fall 2025 schedule so you know exactly when to cancel your plans and glue yourself to the couch.

Monday Nights Are All About The Voice and Medical Mayhem NBC Fall 2025 Schedule

NBC kicks off its fall season on Monday, September 22, with The Voice Season 28 at 8 PM, featuring a coaching panel that includes Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg. Yes, that’s real. Following the musical chaos is Season 2 of Brilliant Minds at 10 PM, starring Zachary Quinto as a doctor with more baggage than an airport carousel.

Thursdays Are for Law and… Even More Law

NBC’s Thursday lineup starting September 25 is a legal drama overload in the best way possible. Law and Order returns for Season 25 at 8 PM, followed by SVU Season 27 at 9 PM, and Organized Crime at 10 PM. And if you're wondering why Organized Crime feels familiar, it's because NBC is recycling the 10-episode season that already aired on Peacock. Budget-friendly and drama-packed.

The #OneChicago Power Block Returns in October

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 1, because Chicago Med (Season 11), Chicago Fire (Season 14), and Chicago PD (Season 13) are back-to-back-to-back starting at 8 PM. If you like your TV with a mix of medical emergencies, smoky heroics and brooding cops, this night is your Super Bowl.

More Comedy, More Fallon and Even… the NBA?

Comedy fans, hang tight until November. St Denis Medical returns Monday, November 3, with double episodes, and Happy’s Place follows on Friday, November 7 with the same treatment. Also, NBC is trying something wild this year — bringing NBA on NBC back starting Tuesday, October 21. Nostalgia alert.

What Got Benched and What Got Cut

The Hunting Party and The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins have been pushed to midseason. Meanwhile, RIP to Found, Lopez vs Lopez, and a few others that didn’t make the cut. You won’t be missed, Suits LA.
