You can watch Dancing with the Stars live on TV and on several major streaming platforms, plus catch up on episodes on demand.

Where to watch right now

  • ABC (live TV): New Dancing with the Stars episodes air live on ABC on Tuesday nights in the U.S. at 8 p.m. ET.
  • Disney+: Episodes stream live on Disney+ at the same time as ABC, and you can usually rewatch them on demand afterward.
  • Hulu (next day): If you don’t need to watch live, new episodes are available the next day on Hulu for regular subscribers.
  • Live TV streaming services: If you’ve cut the cord but still want ABC, services like DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Sling TV, and Hulu + Live TV carry ABC in many areas and let you watch DWTS live.

Tip: If your live TV service temporarily loses Disney/ABC channels (as YouTube TV did during 2025 negotiations), you can switch to Disney+, Hulu + Live TV, or another live TV streamer to keep watching.

Quick country/region notes

Availability can vary a bit outside the U.S., but the pattern is similar:

  • Many regions can watch via Disney+ live or on demand.
  • Local TV channels may also carry the show where Disney/ABC has regional partners.

If you tell me your country, I can narrow this down further (for example, whether you’ll likely rely mainly on Disney+ or a local broadcaster). Mini TL;DR:
Watch Dancing with the Stars live on ABC or Disney+, or stream episodes the next day on Hulu; live TV streaming packages (DirecTV, Fubo, Sling, Hulu + Live TV) also work if they include ABC in your area.
