Have you observed that sharks are late this year? Shark Week 2025 debuted on our screens this past Sunday, just in time for the hottest days of the year — the ideal time to sit inside with the AC blasting and watch hours of new shark content every night, or go take a dip in the water yourself (if you’re brave enough).
The Discovery Channel’s shark-themed week this year features Dancing with Sharks, a “unprecedented” underwater dance competition between divers and their finned dance partners. Tom Bergeron, a Dancing With the Stars alum, hosts the Shark Week special. Tonight, you may see shark-themed shows including Great White Sex Battle, Jaws vs Mega Croc, and In the Eye of the Storm.

When is Shark Week 2025?
This year’s Shark Week begins on Sunday, July 20, and runs until Saturday, July 26.
Shark Week Channel:
Shark Week content is broadcast on the Discovery Channel and will be available for streaming on Discovery+ and HBO Max.
Where to stream Shark Week:
The Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max bundle provides exactly what it promises: access to Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max. By opting for the ad-free version at $29.99 per month, you can save up to 38% compared to subscribing to each service separately, plus you’ll gain access to Discovery’s Shark Week content and much more.
If you haven’t subscribed to these platforms yet, this bundle is an excellent choice that truly meets your streaming needs. You’ll enjoy three extensive libraries filled with everything from Marvel to classic Disney princesses, along with Hulu’s extensive catalog of shows available on demand the day after they air, including the latest episodes of Abbott Elementary, Grey’s Anatomy, and more. HBO Max features popular titles like the latest seasons of The Last of Us, The Pitt, and White Lotus.
While you can now watch Discovery Channel content on HBO’s recently rebranded streaming service, HBO Max, you can also subscribe directly to Discovery+ to stream Discovery Channel content, including Shark Week 2025. If you prefer not to pay for HBO Max, Discovery+ offers a more affordable option for streaming your favorite Discovery Channel shows.
You can subscribe to the basic plan for $5.99 a month or choose the ad-free option for $9.99. Additionally, Discovery+ provides new subscribers with a seven-day free trial, meaning you could potentially enjoy all of Shark Week at no cost.
Shark Week 2025’s host:
There has been no announcement regarding a Shark Week host or “master of ceremonies,” a concept introduced in 2022. Previous celebrity hosts of Shark Week include Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jason Momoa, and, most recently, John Cena.
