2023–24 United States network television schedule (afternoon)
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 MyNetworkTV as the programming service does not offer daytime programs of any kind and Ion Television (as its schedule is composed mainly of syndicated reruns). Fox and The CW 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. Legend

Schedule
New series are highlighted in bold. All times correspond to U.S. Eastern and Pacific Time scheduling (except for some live sports or events). Except where affiliates slot certain programs outside their network-dictated timeslots, subtract one hour for Central, Mountain, Alaska, and Hawaii-Aleutian times. Local schedules may differ, as affiliates have the option to pre-empt or delay network programs. Such scheduling may be limited to preemptions caused by local or national breaking news or weather coverage (which may force stations to tape delay certain programs in overnight timeslots or defer them to a co-operated station or digital subchannel in their regular timeslot) and any major sports events scheduled to air in a weekday timeslot (mainly during major holidays). Stations may air shows at other times at their preference. All sporting events air live in all time zones in U.S. Eastern time, with local programming by affiliates in western time zones after game completion. Weekdays

Notes:
 ABC stations have the option of airing General Hospital at 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, depending on the station's choice of feed. Depending on their choice of feed, CBS stations have the option of airing Let's Make a Deal at either 10:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. Eastern (airtime adjusted by time zone), and/or The Young and the Restless at 11:00 or 11:30 a.m. local time (in the Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones). NBC News Daily airs live every hour from noon until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and NBC stations have the option to choose which hour they carry. Saturday 

Notes:
 To comply with FCC educational programming regulations, stations may defer certain programs featured in their respective network's E/I program blocks to determined weekend late morning or afternoon time periods if a sporting event is not scheduled in the timeslot or in place of paid programming that would otherwise be scheduled. Airtimes of sporting events may vary depending on the offerings scheduled for that weekend. On some weeks The CW may choose to air a primetime ACC on the CW game (beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET) therefore local programming and/or LIV Golf will air in place of the game when the network chooses to do so. On select weekends, The CW will air LIV Gulf coverage from 1–6 p.m. ET on Saturday and Sunday. NBC Nightly News will only air in the Eastern and Central time zones During Fall if Notre Dame Football on NBC airs a 2:30 p.m. ET game (all other time zones will either air the program live (if available) or otherwise preempted due to College Football on NBC). CBS Weekend News is preempted in the Eastern and Central time zones when SEC on CBS airs a 3:30 pm ET game, all other time zones air the program. Sunday
