====Canada====
{{main|Discovery Channel (Canada)}}
The Canadian version of Discovery was established in 1995 by Labatt Communications, and before 2024 the channel was owned by joint venture of [[Bell Media]] and WBD.

The channel airs similar programming to its U.S. counterpart, but also airs [[Canadian content|domestically produced programs]] to comply with local broadcasting regulations (which, in the past, included the daily science newsmagazine ''[[Daily Planet (TV series)|Daily Planet]]'' cancelled in 2018). Some of its original series (such as, most prominently, ''[[How It's Made]]'') have been picked up in the U.S. by Discovery's sister networks (such as [[Science Channel]]), but others have not necessarily aired on Discovery's networks. Since 2018, the channel has increasingly aired blocks of fiction programming with science- or technology-oriented themes.

In June 2024, [[Rogers Sports & Media]] announced that it had acquired the Canadian rights to all WBD factual and lifestyle brands beginning January 1, 2025, including Discovery Channel. Bell subsequently announced that it would enter into a licensing agreement with [[NBCUniversal]] for two of its Discovery-branded channels, with Discovery being relaunched as [[USA Network (Canadian TV channel)|USA Network]] on January 1, 2025. A [[Discovery Channel (Canadian TV channel)|new iteration of Discovery]] owned by Rogers concurrently launched the same day.

====Europe====
{{main|Discovery Channel Europe}}
In the United Kingdom, Discovery Channel UK airs some common programs as the U.S. version, including ''[[MythBusters]]'', ''[[American Chopper]]'', ''[[How It's Made]]'' and ''[[Deadliest Catch]]''. The channel is carried as a basic subscription channel on the [[Sky (UK and Ireland)|SKY]]digital satellite service and digital cable provider [[Virgin Media]]. Discovery UK also operates Discovery HD, Discovery Knowledge, Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science, Animal Planet, DMAX, Discovery Real Time, Discovery Home & Health, Discovery Travel & Leisure and Discovery Shed. Many of these channels also have timeshifted versions. In the [[Republic of Ireland]], the UK version of Discovery Channel is available on most cable providers in that country, but with local advertisements.

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Discovery Channel is part of the [[Premiere (pay television network)|Premiere]] digital network and supplies specific programs to other networks like [[ZDF]] and [[kabel eins]]. [[Discovery Communications]] is also owner of the documentary-channel XXP. The channel was bought in the spring of 2006 from its former shareholders [[Der Spiegel|Spiegel TV]] and "dctp". All programs are dubbed into German. The channel is now known as "[[DMAX (TV channel)|DMAX]]", presumably to associate the channel with Discovery.

In the Netherlands, the Discovery Channel is included on most cable, IPTV and DVB-T providers. Nearly all of the programs are broadcast in their original language, but they are subtitled in [[Dutch language|Dutch]] as is the policy of all Dutch television stations. Some programs and most promotions and program announcements have a Dutch voice-over. In Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, a Flemish Discovery Channel launched (previously the Dutch version was available for IPTV, DVB-C and DVB-S) on cable (and digital) television on October 1, 2009.

In Italy, the Discovery Channel (and HD) is distributed via satellite by [[Sky Italia]] as part of the documentary pack. In addition, Italy has four Discovery-branded channels: Discovery Science, Discovery Real Time, Discovery Animal Planet and Discovery Travel and Living.

In [[Bulgaria]], [[Czech Republic]], [[Croatia]], [[Hungary]], [[Poland]], [[Romania]], [[Slovakia]], [[Serbia]] and [[Slovenia]], Discovery Channel is carried by most cable television and [[IPTV]] providers with all the content subtitled in the respective languages. Additionally, it is also available on digital satellite platforms in Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia (sometimes requiring an additional fee). In Poland, [[nc+]] broadcasts the programs dubbed in Polish and in original English. A few other channels from Discovery are also in offer, like Discovery Historia, launched in cooperation with Polish broadcaster [[TVN (Poland)|TVN]], which later ended.

In Spain, the channel shares a schedule and programs with Portugal and is available on most satellite and cable platforms, making it possible to broadcast both in Spanish and Portuguese. In Spain, all programs are dubbed; whereas in Portugal, most of them are subtitled. In addition, Portugal has three Discovery-branded channels: [[Discovery Turbo]] (focusing on motorsports), [[Discovery Science (European TV channel)|Discovery Science]] (focusing on science and technology) and [[Discovery Civilization]] (focusing on historical events). These channels follow the same model as the original Discovery Channel, except for the absence of advertising. Spanish advertisements are broadcast on the Portuguese feed, non-subtitled or dubbed.
====Southeast Asia====
{{main|Discovery Channel (Southeast Asia)}}
In [[South East Asia]], Discovery Channel is available on digital subscription television. Discovery Channel Asia still shows crime programs (such as ''[[Most Evil]]'' and ''[[The FBI Files]]''). Many programs feature development and society in Asian countries, especially in India and China. Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore have other channels branched from the main Discovery Channel, including Discovery Turbo, Discovery Science, Discovery Home & Health and [[Discovery Travel & Living]].

The [[Philippines]] has its own semifeed derived from the Southeast Asian channel, in which offers [[regional variation]]s with local advertisements during the commercial breaks.
