Is Law & Order: SVU New Tonight? (February 20, 2025)

Stay caught up with Benson and the squad by watching new episodes of Law & Order: SVU on NBC.

By Jessica White

Thursday is here and that means fans are being graced with another new episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

How to Watch

Watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC and next day on Peacock.

Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) has put away hundreds of criminals throughout the decades on SVU, but viewers never tire of watching the squad room badass serve justice. Season 26 has delivered endless procedural chills as Benson tracks down some of the city's most horrendous criminals, with some new detectives even settling into the elite squad. The detectives have been forced to stay on their toes, and fans can't wait to see where the action heads next.

​"I love my job," Hargitay told NBC Insider. "I love going to work every day. I love the community that I'm in. I love my cast, my crew, and I love the intimacy of it all and the fact that we work in a culture that says, 'Let's do the work, let's have a fun time, and best idea wins.' It is such a team. It is such an incredible team, and we rely so much on each other. We're a unit. It's so sacred to me."

"It's so beautiful to have the privilege to actually watch the evolution," Hargitay told TODAY co-anchors while looking back on her many years as Benson. "As I see it and look back, Olivia Benson is sort of a perfect feminist story because we actually see this woman grow into her power."
