The 2012–13 network television schedules for the five major English commercial broadcast networks in Canada covers primetime hours from September 2012 through May 2013. The schedule is followed by a list per network of returning series, new series, and series canceled after the 2011–2012 season, for Canadian, American and other series.

CBC Television was the first to announce its fall schedule on May 10, 2012,[1][2][3][4] followed by Citytv on May 29, 2012[5] and Global on May 30, 2012;[6] this will be followed by CTV and CTV Two on May 31.[7] As in the past, the commercial networks' announcements come shortly after the networks have had a chance to buy Canadian rights to new American series.

* Most CBC programming airs at the same local time in all time zones, except Newfoundland time (add 30 minutes).
* For commercial stations in the Central Time Zone, subtract one hour.
* For commercial stations in the Atlantic and Mountain time zones, add one hour for programming between 8:00 and 10:00 PM. Programs airing at 10:00 PM ET/PT will generally air at 8:00 PM local on stations in these areas. For viewers in the Newfoundland time zone, add an additional 30 minutes to the Atlantic time schedule.
* Notwithstanding the above, timeslots may occasionally vary further in some areas due to local simultaneous substitution considerations, compliance with watershed restrictions, or other factors.
