ABC has announced its fall premiere dates — along with a small schedule change.

Season five of Celebrity Jeopardy!, which the network announced as part of its fall schedule, is being pushed back to a 2027 premiere. A continuation of the current season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will go in its place on Wednesday nights beginning Oct. 7.

ABC will start its fall rollout in mid-September with the first Monday Night Football game of the season (simulcast with ESPN) on Sept. 14. Dancing With the Stars, coming off a ratings resurgence last fall, debuts the next night along with the second season of private eye drama R.J. Decker.
