It’s almost time for the annual Network TV Upfront Presentations which is also one of the best opportunities to meet celebs in NYC.

The Upfronts are annual presentations where the TV networks reveal their fall line-ups to advertisers. They also bring their biggest stars to really impress reporters. Though there is no public access to these events, they can still be a perfect opportunity to meet celebrities as they are arriving or leaving.

Check out some tips for meeting celebs at the Upfronts here and pick up our NYC Field Guide for even more info!

Below is the schedule of this year’s Upfronts. Stay tuned for more information about the exact venues for each event as more information becomes available.

    • I have previously Attended Last Year Fox Upfronts and Usually its the same place and it highly recommended to be there as early as you can… Since they wont start coming till Like 4pm to the After Party

      • What is the normal location for the FOX upfronts as well as the after party? What time would you advise getting there? Which would I have more luck at the after party or the upfronts? Did ou meet anyone? Thanks sorry for all the questions

        • Central Park at Wolman Rink.. Since people like Demi Lovato is gonna be there I would Recommend 12 the latest for a good spot since you will be waiting a while… If you would like to talk more about the Fox After Party Hit me up on Twitter @TechnaDeschanel.. And Yes I did meet a Lot of People at the After Party.. I’m a Star Seeker and tend to go after stars all the time

  6. Does anyone know anything about the ABC Family Upfronts…? does anyone know when the “Pretty Little Liars” in gonna come to New York?

  7. Does anyone know if shows from Showtime go to the CBS upfront? I know SHO is owned by CBS so was curious if they fit into the picture somewhere and also if anyone from past years has met cast members from SHO, yes I’m talking Homeland lol.

  8. Anyone have any information of the location of the CW after party? and what time to show up for the upfronts in the AM, maybe if you went last year to the actual upfronts?

      • Thanks! I only went to where the after party was last year and that was an interesting time but looks like there’s no information so far on where it’ll be this year so I was looking maybe to head to the actual upfronts.
        Thanks for your info 🙂

  10. yeah that link is one of the sources I used (link in post) and they will update location as they become available, I’ll update the post above when it looks like everything is finalized, thanks

  12. That ad age link that Allie posted above has more details for AMC, etc too I will update this post when I can but in the meantime that link has more info.

  13. Hey it says the FOX upfronts are at the Beacon theatre at 4 PM. I was told the after party is usually at the Wolfman rink in central park, will the after party definitly be there again and what time will the after party start sinc e it says the upfronts start at 4. thanks. also any news on abc family upfropntts

    • The After Party For Fox is like always Central Park for like the last few years…but it best to get anyone from Fox at the After Party vs the Beacon since like they jam pack security on it

    • ABC isn’t having a public upfront and for some of their shows they said they won’t be making any decisions until July. JULY! They want to see how their summer series go before the decide on their bubble shows.

    • According to Kristin Dos Santos’s tweets, she is going to the upfronts and is expecting to interview Josh Holloway on Wednesday.

  30. Ran into Jarrod and Brandi from Storage Wars today just walking around NYC. She said hi. He was either pissed off or just didn’t hear me. They were in town for A&E up fronts.

  32. I was wondering I am going to the nbc upfront on Monday what part of radio city music hall do fans wait by to see the actors come in???

    • I tried to get into the fox afterparty too but they had no more room so sorry think your out of luck there I was going to go to that upfront but don’t know if its worth it because if they already have a fan afterparty, then they may not stop for fans outside but I’m not sure really anyways GOOD LUCK

  35. Hey does anyone have any advice for the fox after party? I’m dying to meet people like Demi Lovato and heard Fifth Harmony is performing. Does anyone know if it’s open to the public or a good time/good spot to go is if we’re just going to have to catch them coming in? Thanks!

  36. Just asking again if anyone has any information on where the CW after party is this year… I know last year it was at Colicchio & Sons but wondering if its there or somewhere else this year.
    Would love -any- info if anyone’s got it 🙂
