Some old favorites are coming back, along with the return of the NBA.
NBC will bring the laughs, the drama and everything in between during the 2025-2026 television season. The peacock network announced July 28 dates for the premieres of its shows for the upcoming season.

The season officially gets underway Sept. 22 with the return of “The Voice,” with coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg. The Zachary Quinto drama “Brilliant Minds” will launch its sophomore season later that night.
Before that, though, the NFL season will kick off with a pair of games. On Sept. 4, “Football Night in America” will return, followed by the new season’s first game when the Philadelphia Eagles will attempt to defend their Super Bowl title by hosting the Dallas Cowboys. On Sept. 7, the Baltimore Ravens will visit the Buffalo Bills in a key early season matchup.

Sports will also take center stage when NBC officially welcomes the return of the NBA on Oct. 21 with its pregame show airing before a doubleheader with teams that have yet to be determined.
In a season of premieres, “America’s Got Talent” will crown its newest champion during the Sept. 24 finale.
Thursday, Sept. 25, marks the return of “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” The fifth season of “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” which recently aired on Peacock, will replay on NBC this time following the other two shows in the 10 p.m. ET time slot, Deadline reported.

Wednesday, Oct. 1, will feature the premieres of “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.”
Comedy will also figure prominently this fall. Fresh off its 50th season, “Saturday Night Live” will return Oct. 4, while “St. Denis Medical” will launch its second season with back-to-back episodes Monday, Nov. 3. “Happy’s Place” will also kick off its second season Friday, Nov. 7.
In addition, “Tonight Show” star Jimmy Fallon will expand his footprint by hosting the unscripted series “On Brand with Jimmy Fallon,” in which he “starts a premier marketing agency and fills it with the most creative, clever, and competitive go-getters he can find,” according to NBCUniversal.
