List of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episodes

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit , the first spinoff of Law & Order , is an American police procedural television series that focuses on crimes of sexual nature. While the victim is often murdered, this is not always the case, and victims often play prominent roles in episodes. The series frequently uses stories that are "ripped from the headlines" or based on real crimes. Such episodes take a real crime and fictionalize it by changing the details. ^[1] The series premiered on NBC on September 20, 1999, and its twenty-second season premiered on November 12, 2020.

Most episode titles of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit between seasons one and twelve are a single word or initialism. From seasons thirteen to seventeen and from season twenty-one onwards, the pattern changes to one in which episodes have a title with the number of letters matching the season number (in exactly two words, seasons 13-17). From seasons eighteen to twenty, the episode titles follow no fixed pattern.

As of June 3,2021, ^[update] 494 episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit have aired.
