Start time and live streaming

Live from Hollywood…it's time for season 33 of Dancing with the Stars.

The ABC reality show is back, with another all-star cast of actors, athletes and, yes, con artists, all ready to compete for the coveted Mirrorball trophy.

Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribiero return as hosts for the 33rd season and the jury consisting of Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli remains unchanged.

Like last season, new episodes will air simultaneously on ABC and Disney+, and there's currently a deal on Disney+ that saves you 75% when you stream the entire season.

Dancing with the Stars Date and Time: When is the premiere of Dancing with the Stars?

Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars premieres tonight, September 17, at 8 p.m. ET.

New episodes air every Tuesday night at 8:00 p.m. ET.

How to watch Dancing with the Stars without cable:

If you don't have cable, you can watch Dancing with the Stars live on Disney+. Currently, you can get your first three months of Disney+ Basic (with ads) for just $1.99/month, which is enough time to watch the entire season of Dancing with the Stars.

After the three-month promotional period ends, your subscription will revert to the regular base price of $9.99/month.

ABC has not yet confirmed how many episodes will be in season 33 of Dancing with the Stars. Last year, season 32 consisted of 11 episodes and ended on December 5. This season is expected to have a similar schedule.

It is also important to note that ABC has adjusted its broadcast schedule to accommodate the vice presidential debate scheduled for October 1. One episode will not air that evening, but two episodes will air back-to-back on October 7 and 8.
