Introduction This is a list of issue covers of ''TV Guide'' magazine from the decade of the 2010s, from January 2010 to December 2019.This list reflects only the regular weekly or bi-weekly issues of ''TV Guide'' (no one-time-only issues), and includes covers that are national or regional in nature, along with any covers that were available exclusively to print or digital subscribers. The entries on this table include each cover's subjects and their artists (photographer or illustrator). *Dates for two-week "double issues" of the print edition are indicated in '''''bold italics''''', with listings covering that week and the following week. *Since 2012, ''TV Guide'' added a digital edition for subscribers on platforms such as Zinio; these issues, which are downloaded when the printed version's double issues are on their second week, are indicated with dates in ''italics'' and with a ''(D)''.
