Summer reruns are almost over. Within the next nine days, three of the biggest game shows on television return with new episodes, and the rest of the fall brings a 50th anniversary, a new opening round on Wheel, a fresh set on Jeopardy!, and the comeback of a briefcase-opening classic. Here is the full calendar, in date order, with what's new on each show. Bookmark it; we will update the dates as networks confirm them.

September 8: The Price Is Right, Season 55 (CBS)

Drew Carey and announcer George Gray kick off Season 55 with a Star Trek-themed premiere, and the season brings more changes than usual. Some episodes will feature a single model instead of the usual two or three, and the studio audience is being trimmed from roughly 160 to about 100 per taping. On the fun side, Wild Wheel Wednesdays add extra prizes to the Showcase Showdown, including a shot at more than $100,000, and Bendy Fridays promise free donuts for the whole audience if the wheel's pointer bends without flipping. CBS has also scheduled the show's first-ever live episode, a Christmas special, for December. Our Price Is Right how-to-watch guide has the daily schedule.

September 14: Jeopardy!, Season 43 (Syndicated)

Ken Jennings returns to a refreshed stage. Executive producers Michael Davies and Sarah Whitcomb Foss described the changes on the Inside Jeopardy! podcast: new set columns, a richer lighting design, and a reset of the postseason qualification rules so viewers can tell exactly who has earned a tournament spot by season's end. Sony has locked the show in through the 2027 to 2028 broadcast season, and Davies teased "very big announcements" in the coming weeks, including plans for a live version of the show. Paolo Pasco won the most recent Tournament of Champions and Andrew He took the Invitational, so expect both to figure into this season's postseason. Celebrity Jeopardy! has been held for midseason on ABC. See our Jeopardy! how-to-watch guide.

September 14: Wheel of Fortune, Season 44 (Syndicated)

Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White return for a season with a genuinely new opening. The Toss-Up Sprint replaces the two traditional toss-ups: for 30 seconds, all three contestants race through as many toss-up puzzles as they can, each worth $1,000, with only one guess allowed per puzzle. A wrong guess simply reveals the answer and the next puzzle appears, with no penalty. Expect five or six puzzles per sprint, and whoever solves the last one controls Round 1. Contestant chats move to the break between the first and second rounds. Episodes stream next day on Hulu and Peacock. The show also enters the season with an interim announcer after Jim Thornton's exit. Our Wheel how-to-play page will be updated with the new round.

September 21: Celebrity Name That Tune and Celebrity Weakest Link (FOX)

FOX doubles up on Monday night. Celebrity Name That Tune returns for Season 6 at 8:00 pm ET with host Jane Krakowski and bandleader Robin Thicke, followed at 9:00 pm by Season 2 of Celebrity Weakest Link, with Jane Lynch delivering the goodbyes. Check our Name That Tune and Weakest Link watch guides for streaming options.

September 23: The Floor, Season 6 (FOX)

Rob Lowe's grid-based trivia showdown is back Wednesdays at 8:00 pm ET. Same format: 100 contestants, one giant floor, and a $250,000 prize for whoever conquers the whole board.

September 28: Family Feud's 50th Anniversary (Syndicated)

Family Feud debuted on ABC on July 12, 1976 with Richard Dawson, and Steve Harvey is marking the golden anniversary with ten special episodes beginning September 28. The headline change: Fast Money pays $50,000 instead of the usual $20,000 during the anniversary run, in partnership with BetMGM. The celebration extends off screen with a Carvel anniversary cake, a TGI Fridays board game, new Arkadium and Gameloft games, and a Twitch clip show. If you have ever wanted to be on the show, our Family Feud contestant guide explains the process, and every Feud host in order covers all 50 years.

October 2: Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Season 7 (ABC)

The primetime celebrity edition returns Fridays at 8:00 pm ET, with stars playing for up to $1 million for charity. Expect the new Toss-Up Sprint to carry over from the syndicated show.

Late September: Let's Make a Deal, Season 18 (CBS)

Wayne Brady and Jonathan Mangum are expected back in late September alongside The Price Is Right on CBS daytime. As of this writing, CBS has not posted the exact Season 18 premiere date; we will update this entry when it does. Our Let's Make a Deal watch guide has the daily time slot.

December 5: Deal or No Deal Returns (CNBC)

Nearly a decade after the last studio version wrapped, Howie Mandel is back with the briefcases, the banker, and the classic format. CNBC has set the premiere for December 5. It follows the December 2025 cancellation of NBC's Deal or No Deal Island after two seasons. In Mandel's words, "Nothing changed my life, career and perception of humanity more than one project, and that was Deal or No Deal." Our Deal or No Deal how-to-play page covers the rules if you need a refresher before the premiere.
