How to watch 'Dancing with the Stars' on ABC without YouTube TV: 'DWTS' theme, streaming info
Share and Follow


This evening, Dancing with the Stars is set to transport us back to the early 2000s, specifically 2005, as it marks two decades of dazzling routines. A little heads-up for fans: next week’s episode, airing on November 18, will pay tribute to the legendary Prince!

It’s hard to believe that the very first episode of DWTS premiered in June 2005. Tonight, the original host, Tom Bergeron, makes a special appearance as a guest judge. However, those using YouTube TV might miss out on the excitement due to ongoing issues.

The disagreement between YouTube TV and Disney persists, resulting in the absence of Disney channels, including ABC and ESPN, on the platform. On a brighter note, YouTube TV is compensating subscribers with a $20 credit, which can be claimed by navigating to settings and selecting the blue ‘Claim Credit’ button.

Wondering how to catch Dancing with the Stars live if you’re not on YouTube TV? We’ve got the details for you.

What Time Is Dancing with the Stars on Tonight (November 11)?

This evening’s episode of Dancing with the Stars will be broadcast from 8:00-10:01 p.m. ET on both ABC and Disney+.

Official ABC synopsis: “It’s time to party! Dancing with the Stars is celebrating 20 incredible years of dazzling moves, unforgettable moments, and show-stopping performances. Former host Tom Bergeron makes a return to the ballroom as guest judge.”

Is Tonight’s Episode of DWTS Available On YouTube TV?

Nope. On October 30, Disney programming was removed from YouTube TV, which means you can no longer watch ABC and ESPN on the streamer. Currently, there’s no update on if/when the channels will return to YouTube TV.

How To Watch Dancing with the Stars Season 34, Episode 9 Live:

If you have a valid cable login, you can stream DWTS live on ABC or the ABC website. As we mentioned above, Dancing with the Stars is also available to watch live or on demand on Disney+ ($29.99/month with Hulu and ESPN for 12 months, $16.99/month with HBO Max and Hulu, or $10.99/month with Hulu).

The only way to watch shows airing live without cable is by using a live TV streaming service. We recommend DIRECTV, which comes with a five-day free trial before payment begins.

DIRECTV offers a number of flexible subscription options, including Genre Packs, so you can best choose which streaming plans fit your needs and budget. Plans start at $49.99/month.

You can also stream ABC live with an active subscription to FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, or Sling TV. FuboTV and Hulu + Live TV offer free trials for new subscribers.

DWTS Next-Day Streaming Info:

New episodes of DWTS are available for next-day streaming on Hulu and ABC.com. Season 34, Episode 9 premieres Wednesday, November 12 on both platforms.

Dancing with the Stars Season 34 Release Schedule:

  • Season 34 Episode 9, “The 20th Birthday Party”: Tuesday, November 11
  • Season 34 Episode 10, “Prince Night”: Tuesday, November 18
