Where it streams officially

Where it streams officially: explore.org runs the Katmai National Park bear cams live on YouTube (@explorebears) — Brooks Falls, Brooks Falls Low, River Watch, Riffles and more, all free. Voting takes place at fatbearweek.org, daily from 12:00 to 21:00 ET (09:00 to 18:00 PT); no voting on the weekend. The bracket is revealed on September 18 and the champion is crowned on September 29. Organised by Katmai National Park (National Park Service), explore.org and the Katmai Conservancy.

Why watch this on multiple screens

Wildlife events unfold on several cameras at once — one at the falls, one downriver, one underwater. The moment everyone talks about rarely happens on the camera you happen to have open.

A grid keeps every angle in view. When the action moves, you are already watching the right frame instead of switching tabs and missing it.

These are the official, free live cameras run by the organisers themselves, so the grid stays up for the whole event.
