Discovery+ is a streaming service that brings together content from many of the most popular cable networks — all in one place, available over the internet without a cable subscription. If you enjoy shows from HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery (true crime), Animal Planet, Magnolia Network, or the Discovery Channel itself, Discovery+ is the service that has all of those in one app.

The library is enormous: thousands of episodes of home renovation shows, cooking competitions, true crime stories, nature documentaries, travel programs, and reality series. Popular shows available on Discovery+ include House Hunters, Fixer Upper, Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, 90 Day Fiancé, Deadliest Catch, Dateline, and many more. Many series have dozens of seasons available to binge-watch at your own pace.

As of 2026, Discovery+ costs around $5 to $9 per month depending on whether you choose the plan with or without ads. The ad-supported plan is the same content at a lower price, with a small number of commercials during shows. There is also a Discovery+ with Max option if you want access to HBO content as well, though that is a higher-priced bundle.

Discovery+ is available on smartphones, tablets, computers, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung and LG Smart TVs, and through Amazon Prime Video as an add-on channel. One subscription allows two simultaneous streams, meaning two people in the same household can watch different shows at the same time.

Signing up takes only a few minutes and you can cancel any time if you decide it is not for you.
