In its 37th year, Shark Week is the Discovery Channel's annual weeklong slate of shark-related programming. This year's event kicked off Sunday, July 20, with "Dancing With Sharks," an inter-species dance competition hosted by returning "Dancing With the Stars" frontman Tom Bergeron.

Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” kicks off with a unique twist this year: “Dancing with Sharks.” Hosted by former “Dancing With the Stars” host Tom Bergeron, the show features scuba-diving shark handlers performing underwater dances with hammerhead sharks.

Shark Week 2025 is here, with a packed schedule of shows, documentaries and podcasts. Here's when Shark Week is and how to watch and stream.
