Your guide to the 33rd annual Shark Week is here!

Duuuunnnn duun … Shark Week 2021 has arrived! The Discovery Channel and Discovery+ have a week full of can't-miss shows that take a deep dive into the ocean's biggest and greatest predators: sharks. Shark Week is July 11–18, and we've got the full schedule of programs, as well as where you can watch each one!

So get ready for a fin-tastic week of all things shark.

Shark Week 2021: How to Watch

So, let's start off by telling you how to watch Shark Week 2021. You have two options this year: The Discovery Channel and Discovery+, the streaming service. There are going to be different programs exclusive to each platform, so don't go into it expecting to see all of the same content on both, because you won't. 

A subscription to Discovery+ costs $4.99/month.

Okay, now that we've sorted that out. Let's dive into the schedule!
