Shark Week 2025: How to watch the annual summer series, full streaming schedule and more

Have you noticed the sharks are late this year? Shark Week 2025 finally splashes onto our screens Sunday, July 20, just in time for the hottest days of the year — the perfect time to sit inside with the AC blasting while you watch hours of new shark content every night, or go take a dip in the water yourself (if you’re brave enough).

This year's week of shark-centric content, courtesy of Discovery Channel, includes the upcoming Shark Week special Dancing with Sharks, an "unprecedented" underwater dance competition between divers and their finned dance partners. Dancing with the Stars alum Tom Bergeron will host.
