Got a Nintendo Switch and wondering how to enjoy your games on a bigger screen? It’s easier than you might think to connect your Nintendo Switch to your TV, and we’re here to guide you through it.

If you’re asking yourself, ‘How do I connect my Nintendo Switch to my TV?’, you’re in the right place for answers.

Quick Steps to TV Connection

Connecting your Nintendo Switch to your TV is a breeze! All you need is your Nintendo Switch, the dock that comes with it, an HDMI cable, and of course, a TV.

First, open the back cover of your Nintendo Switch dock. You’ll see a few ports there. Plug the USB end of your Nintendo Switch’s power cable into the ‘AC ADAPTER’ port and the other end into a power outlet. Then, take your HDMI cable and plug one end into the ‘HDMI OUT’ port in the dock, and the other end into an HDMI port on your TV.

Next, place your Nintendo Switch console into the dock. Make sure the screen is facing the same direction as the front of the dock. Close the dock’s back cover, turn on your TV, and select the right HDMI input using your TV’s remote control. Voila! You should now see your Nintendo Switch’s home screen on your TV. It’s game time!
