Get ready for a weekend full of some doggone goodness. The 2021 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show will take place this weekend, ready to introduce you to the finest dogs in the world. It may not be as adorable as, say, the Puppy Bowl. But tune in to watch the dogs compete Olympic-style, racing through wild obstacles and doing gymnastics to wow the judges. Wondering when your favorite breed will face the judging panel? We can help with the full schedule and how to stream this year’s Westminster Dog Show.

The Westminster Dog Show is split up into three days — there are plenty of pups that need to strut their stuff before the judges can award the lauded Best in Show award. There are actually two competitions going on at the same time: The Westminster Kennel Dog Show and the Masters Obedience Championship at Westminster. We’ve got times and where to watch both of those competitions so you can load your weekend full of sweet dogs racing through tracks, showing off their coats, and being as obedient as ever.

Get ready to walk the dog — here’s where to watch the 2021 Westminster Dog Show:

Where is the Westminster Dog Show streaming? How to stream the Westminster dog show:

When the Westminster Dog Show is streaming on the Westminster Kennel Club website, just head on over to the website linked above and watch the YouTube  livestream. But the handful of times the Westminster Dog Show is only on Fox — like the finals, group judging, and awards — you’ll need a cable log-in or a subscription to a premium streaming service like FuboTV, Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or AT&T TV Now. You can also head over to Fox’s website or download the Fox Now App and log in with any cable credentials to watch live.

Is the Westminster Dog Show streaming for free?

When the Westminster Dog Show is streaming on the Westminster Kennel Club website, the live video is free to watch. But some of the more important parts of the competition will be broadcast on live television, and you’ll need cable for that.
