What is coming up on the Fox channel in May 2026?
Fox’s May 2026 schedule marks the peak of the network’s spring reality wave and a heavy reliance on high-stakes sports as it bridges toward the summer season. Following the late-April conclusion of several major dramas, the month is anchored by the full-throttle momentum of its "reality dominance" block, including new episodes of Gordon Ramsay’s MasterChef (Season 16) and the high-energy game show The Floor (Season 5) on Wednesday nights. On Mondays, the testing of America’s wits continues with The 1% Club and The Quiz with Balls, while Tuesday nights remain dedicated to the rural romance of Farmer Wants a Wife (Season 4) and the survivalist thrills of Running Wild with Bear Grylls.
The network’s "Animation Domination" lineup undergoes a mid-month shift, as staples like Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and American Dad! continue their runs until May 17, when the block transitions into seasonal encores and special event programming. Sports fans take center stage throughout the month with Fox’s extensive live coverage of the UFL regular season on Friday nights and a packed slate of MLB Saturday Baseball marquee matchups. The adrenaline peaks on the track as well, with the NASCAR Cup Series rolling through May with high-profile races including the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway and the legendary Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, cementing Fox's status as the destination for live competition heading into June.
