  We establish the existence of the K"ahler-Ricci flow on projective varieties
with log canonical singularities. This generalizes some of the existence
results of Song-Tian \cite{ST3} in case of projective varieties with klt
singularities. We also prove that the normalized K"ahler-Ricci flow will
converge to the \ka-Einstein metric with negative Ricci curvature on semi-log
canonical models in the sense of currents. Finally we also construct
K"ahler-Ricci flow solutions performing divisorial contractions and flips with
log canonical singularities.
