With gold prices exceeding $4,000 an ounce, Parker Schnabel and Tony Beets are licking their lips at the prospect of another record haul in the "Gold Rush" season 16 premier at 8/7c on November 7.

You can watch "Gold Rush" season 16 online and from anywhere with a VPN.

'Gold Rush' season 16 streaming details, start time

"Gold Rush" season 16 premieres Friday, November 7 2025 at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S.. The U.K release date is the same as the U.S. date.
• U.S. — Discovery via Sling and YouTube TV | Discovery+ (7-day free trial)
• U.K. — Discovery+
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN risk-free

Season 16 of the popular reality series drops on the Discovery Channel with a two-episode premiere.

'King of the Klondike' Tony Beets takes an early lead after extracting $500,000 worth of gold in one week but family drama and firings soon take their toll. Can Kevin Beets step up as a new mine boss?

"Gold Rush" O.G. Parker is back, naturally. Having splashed over $100,000 on new equipment, he's under pressure to top last season's $15 million tally.

Rick Ness, you won't be surprised to hear, starts season 16 with 'no claim and no water'. Classic Rick. Viewers will also get to catch up with Parker's cigar-smoking sidekick Chris Doumitt. Don't expect to see Todd Hoffman, but Freddy Dodge could make a cameo.

Here's how to watch and stream "Gold Rush" season 16 online and from anywhere.
