1994–95 United States network television schedule

The 1994–95 network television schedule for the six major English-language commercial broadcast networks in the United States covers prime time hours from September 1994 to August 1995. All times are Eastern and Pacific, with certain exceptions, such as Monday Night Football. This was the first season to feature the United Paramount Network and The WB Television Network, as both launched in January 1995. Both networks would ultimately shutdown and form The CW in September 2006.
