Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:USTV The following is the 1994–95 network television schedule for the six major English language commercial broadcast networks in the United States. The schedule covers primetime hours from September 1994 through August 1995. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series cancelled after the 1993–94 season.

All times are Eastern and Pacific, with certain exceptions, such as Monday Night Football.

This was the first season in which the entirety of primetime network programming was presented in stereo sound.

Two new networks, the United Paramount Network and The WB Television Network, launched in January 1995. Both networks would ultimately shutdown and merge to form The CW in September 2006.

New series highlighted in bold.

Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating in parentheses (#rank / rating), as determined by Nielsen Media Research.<ref name="BM2">Highest-rated series is based on the annual top-rated programs list compiled by Nielsen Media Research and reported in: Brooks, Tim & Marsh, Earle (2007).
