Animation Domination schedule: FOX’s fall 2026 Sunday lineup

FOX’s announced fall 2026 Sunday schedule places The Simpsons at 8 p.m., Universal Basic Guys at 9 p.m. and Grimsburg at 9:30 p.m., in Eastern/Pacific listings. Animal Control, a live action comedy, occupies 8:30 p.m. The network’s May 11, 2026 announcement was checked October 19, 2026.

The published Sunday evening order

The fall plan lists The Simpsons from 8–8:30, Animal Control from 8:30–9, Universal Basic Guys from 9–9:30 and Grimsburg from 9:30–10 p.m. The earlier hour includes NFL coverage, The OT or animation encores, depending on the broadcast circumstances. The fall evening therefore is not an uninterrupted block of animation.

Why a familiar show may be absent

A series can be renewed without appearing in the fall Sunday block. FOX’s announcement places American Dad!, Bob’s Burgers, Family Guy and Krapopolis among its midseason programming. A list of renewed animated shows should not be mistaken for tonight’s running order.

Check tonight’s actual local listing

Sports overruns, special broadcasts and affiliate scheduling can alter the practical start time. The times above describe the announced fall plan, not a continuously updated local television guide. Confirm the date and your station’s listing before recording an episode. Streaming access also follows provider rules and may not match a live broadcast’s time or regional availability.
