Play your games on the big screen with one of the best Nintendo Switch docks. These devices allow you to connect your console to a TV or monitor through HDMI. Most docks will also charge your console as you play (and your Joy-Cons too) and enable you to use accessories like the Pro controller and Ring Fit.

All Nintendo Switch models, except for the Nintendo Switch Lite, are compatible with these docks – and they come included with the console as standard. It never hurts to own a spare Nintendo Switch dock for when you want to travel or take one to a friend's house, plus some of these third-party options are more compact than the original.
