The documentary is named Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds because that is the time between platform exit and pool entry in 10m diving.
The documentary will look at some of the greatest moments of Daley's career, including his Olympic debut in Beijing, his gold medal triumph in Tokyo, and his most recent showing in Paris last summer.
It will feature fascinating interviews with key figures from the 30-year-old's life, including his mother Debbie Daley, husband Dustin Lance Black, and coach Jane Figueiredo who guided him to Olympic gold.
Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds will premiere on discovery+ in the UK & Ireland and on MAX where available across Europe. Olympics.com will take the premiere in the US and territories outside of Europe.
