How to Watch Dancing With the Stars on TV
After 30 seasons on ABC, Dancing With the Stars is now only available to watch on Disney+. What that means: you will no longer be able to watch Dancing With the Stars on TV — at least not on traditional cable or network TV.
If you want to watch Dancing With the Stars on TV, you’ll need to sign-up for Disney+ and then watch the show through the Disney+ app on your connected smart TV or favorite streaming device (I.e. Fire TV Stick).
How to Watch Dancing With the Stars Online
Dancing With the Stars is the first live series to debut on Disney+ and the streaming service is the only place to watch Dancing With the Stars online.
Subscribers to Disney+ will be able to watch Dancing With the Stars live online each week and vote for their favorite stars to stay in the competition. A subscription to Disney+ costs just $7.99 a month, and lets you stream Dancing With the Stars on your laptop, tablet, TV or phone.
You can live stream new episodes of DWTS every Monday evening, or choose to watch the show on-demand at any other time throughout the week.
Fans will be able to vote during the live stream of the show in the U.S. and Canada via disneyplus.com/vote. As in previous seasons, the live viewer votes will be combined with the judges’ scores to determine which couples stay and which ones are in danger of elimination.
