While you can now stream Discovery Channel content on HBO’s recently renamed streaming platform, Max, you can also still subscribe directly to the source and stream Discovery Channel content – including Shark Week 2023 – directly through Discovery+. If you’re not interested in paying for Max, Discovery+ is a great alternative (and cheaper) way to stream your favorite Discovery Channel shows. Subscribe to the basic plan for $4.99 per month or ad-free for $6.99. Discovery+ is also giving new subscribers a 7-day free trial, so hypothetically you could totally watch all of Shark Week for free…
