Discovery+ offers: From sports to originals – the TV program on the streaming service is so diverse

Discovery+ is a fairly new streaming service that only launched in Germany in 2022. The live TV provider gives you access to a wide range of series, shows and documentaries, some of which are only broadcast exclusively on the platform.

If you want to get an insight into the wide range of services offered by the service, we have listed many of the program items and advantages of Discovery+. This will make it easier for you to decide whether the content is convincing and whether a subscription would be worthwhile.

To the offers at Discovery+

Discovery+ without advertising

More and more streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ are offering different tariffs where you can choose between a subscription with or without advertising. Discovery+ also differentiates between several subscription options.

You can choose between an ad-supported subscription for 3.99 dollars per month, which you can switch to an annual subscription for just 39.99 dollars per year. This way you save money over the entire period, but you must adhere to a minimum contract period before you cancel your Discovery+ subscription.

If you don’t want any advertising breaks, you pay 5.99 dollars for the normal monthly subscription to Discovery+. Here, too, you are offered a cheaper annual subscription for 59.99 dollars per year.

Discovery+ gratis

To watch the streaming content from Discovery+ completely free of charge, you can use a simple trick. With the help of a Joyn Plus+ subscription, you get free access to the streaming service for a year. We have summarized the conditions you have to observe for this offer in our guide.

Discovery+ Originals

The niche streaming service Discovery+ is particularly impressive with its large selection of originals, which bring you a lot of series and documentaries. The content comes from TV channels such as DMAX, Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet.

Especially if you are a fan of reality TV formats, you will find shows like “Love in Paradise” or “Katzenberger @Work – Gülle statt Glamour”. Exclusive content and documentaries like “Quiet on Set – The Dark Side of Kids TV” or “House of Hammer” are also offered on the streaming platform.

Discovery+ Previews

The previews on Discovery+ allow you to watch selected series and shows on stream before they are broadcast on TV. So if you want to see popular reality show formats like “Richard Hammond’s Car Workshop” or “The Pound Sisters: Our Life with 500 kg” before anyone else, you will find the best selection of programs on the streaming service.

Discovery+ in Switzerland and Austria

Not only subscribers from Germany have access to Discovery+, as viewers in Switzerland and Austria can also watch the streaming service’s content. However, there are some restrictions that you have to be aware of depending on your location.

Since June 2022, Discovery+ has been launched not only in Germany but also in Austria. Therefore, Austrian viewers have the same range of offerings as the German subscribers of the relatively new streaming service.

If you live in Switzerland, things are very different. Discovery+ has not yet signed any licensing agreements for the Swiss Confederation, which is why the TV provider is not accessible there. You can find out how you can still access the streaming content in our more detailed guide.

Discovery+ über YouTube TV

In addition to the free video platform YouTube, Google also offers the paid streaming service YouTube TV. Since 2019, Discovery+ content has been broadcast via YouTube TV via associated channels such as HGTV and Food Network.

However, it is not so easy to subscribe to YouTube TV in Germany because the service is only available in the USA. If you want to overcome this location restriction, it is worth using a VPN service of your choice.

Are you still looking for a streaming service that shows you a wide range of live sports in addition to series and films? Then Discovery+ is the right choice for you. The provider has a diverse range of sports broadcasts, allowing you to watch up to 20 live streams a day.

Snooker is another sport that Discovery+ has included in its program. Here you can watch a more complex version of classic billiards and get excited about the numerous tournaments. Among the championships on offer, you will also find past games from the German Masters, Welsh Open and Players Championship from 2024 in the media library.

If you want to share your customer account on the streaming service with other people and enjoy the content together, you should first find out about account sharing on Discovery+. If you want to activate Discovery+ via Sky, we will help you with our detailed instructions.
