You can watch Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) in a few main places, depending on whether you want to watch live or on demand.

Where to watch DWTS right now

  • Live on ABC (traditional TV or live-TV streaming)
    • New episodes air Tuesday nights on the ABC channel in the US (typically 8 p.m. ET).
* You can get ABC through many live-TV streaming services (availability varies by region), like Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV, Fubo, or Sling TV in select markets.
  • Streaming live on Disney+
    • Recent seasons stream live on Disney+ at the same time as the ABC broadcast in the US.
* Episodes are usually available on demand afterward as part of the Disney+ library.
  • Next‑day streaming on Hulu
    • If you don’t need to watch live, new episodes are added the next day on regular Hulu (on-demand, not the Live TV tier).
* This is good if you just want to binge episodes whenever you have time.
  • Bundles and promos
    • DWTS is included in Disney’s ecosystem, so you’ll often see it available through the Disney+ + Hulu bundles and certain DirecTV or similar packages that include Disney+ and Hulu access.
