This was the television schedule on all three United States commercial television networks for the fall season beginning in September 1975. All times are Eastern and Pacific, with a few exceptions, such as Monday Night Football. This was the first season since 1971 in which a four-hour Sunday night schedule was implemented. The 22-hour weekly prime-time schedule (four hours on Sunday, three hours each on Monday through Saturday) remains in effect to this day. New fall series are highlighted in bold. Series ending their original runs are in italics. Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.

     Yellow indicates the programs in the top 10 for the season.

     Cyan indicates the programs in the top 20 for the season.

     Magenta indicates the programs in the top 30 for the season.

PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, was in operation, but the schedule was set by each local station.
