Shark Week is upon us. Discovery Channel's beloved week of shark-infested shows and specials is back for another round this month, and now that everyone is practicing social distancing and staying at home, it's shaping up to be one of the most talked-about Shark Weeks ever.
Discovery Channel is kicking off the 2020 event with a special you have to see to believe. Coming Sunday, August 9 is Tyson vs. Jaws: Rumble on the Reef where Mike Tyson is going head-to-head with a great white shark — really. Later in the week, Discovery Channel is airing other new specials such as Shaqattack, Will Smith: Off the Deep End, Adam Devine's Secret Shark Lair, Tiger Shark King, Sharks of Ghost Island, and much more.
Shark Week 2020: When & where
Discovery Channel's Shark Week 2020 begins at 8 p.m. on Sunday, August 8 and runs through Sunday, August 16. New shark-specific specials will air between 8 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. each night during Shark Week. You can find the full schedule of what's airing when via the Discovery Channel website.
If you don't currently have access to watch Discovery Channel at home, you're in luck as most major live TV streaming services in the U.S. include the channel for members. However, if you're not in the U.S., you may need to use a VPN to gain access to these services. We'll get into how to do that below.
