Want to know what's part of the ABC TV schedule this week? Well, look no further, as you can catch up on the full primetime TV schedule for ABC right here.

Watching TV these days means watching different streaming shows and services as much as anything, but just as they always have, ABC and the other four major networks in the US (CBS, Fox and NBC) continue to have TV schedules that are worth keeping an eye on with things like hit dramas and comedies, live sports and other special broadcasts.

Their ease of access is also huge, as anyone with a traditional pay-TV service or a TV antenna automatically can access their local stations. Most live TV streaming services also carry local networks; in the case of ABC, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV are among the major platforms offering the network.

Check out ABC's TV schedule for this week directly below, as well as what the network's official fall TV lineup is generally going to look like week in and week out.
