The 23rd annual National Dog Show Presented by Purina will return on Nov. 28, Thanksgiving Day, featuring about 2,000 dogs of 205 different breeds all competing for the prestigious title of 'Best in Show.' The National Dog Show is an open, all-breed show run by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia and authorized by the American Kennel Club , which means that any AKC registered dog can enter to compete. It is known as America’s most prominent and widely-viewed showcase for the sport.
The seven dogs who win 'First In Group' from each of the seven categories then go on to compete against one another for the coveted title of 'Best In Show' and $20,000. How can it be watched? The two-hour show reaches an audience of nearly 20 million viewers each year, and is broadcast nationwide on NBC directly after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in all time zones. It can be watched online streaming on Peacock, NBC Sports and the NBC Sports app.
