A new chapter has officially begun for Dancing With the Stars. After 30 seasons of celebrities waltzing their way around the ballroom in hopes of winning the Mirrorball Trophy, the latest installment is full of historic changes.
Among the major differences the popular competition show underwent for season 31 is actor Alfonso Ribeiro joining Tyra Banks as co-host. The duo now leads new episodes together with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli back as the judging panel. What's more, new celebrities are competing for the coveted Dancing With the Stars title, including actress Selma Blair and her partner Sasha Farber, Bachelorette star Gabby Windey with Val Chmerkovskiy, plus former Hallmark star Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater. But the biggest switch-up is the show's network.
ICYMI: Dancing With the Stars is no longer airing on ABC. This news has had fans wondering about how to watch Dancing With the Stars season 31. If you're looking to catch the latest episodes, we've got the info. But just a heads up that it's going to involve a little more than pushing a button on your TV remote. Here are all the details about how you can watch and stream Dancing With the Stars online:
How can I watch Dancing With the Stars?
Dancing With the Stars is now available to exclusively stream on Disney+. This will be the only place fans can watch the show, as it will no longer be available to watch live on ABC, the ABC site/app or on Hulu.
Since this is a major move for the hit competition series, it also comes with a few other changes. First, the show will only have one airtime on Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET or 5 p.m. PT. This new timeframe will allow viewers on booth the East and West coasts the opportunity to watch and vote at the same time.
What's more, there will also be no commercials, as it will be premiering on a streaming site. This won't last for too long though, because Disney+ will be launching a plan that will allow commercials on December 8, known as Disney Basic.
As far as when new episodes will air, they will be available to watch as soon as it airs on Monday nights. It's important to note that just like its ABC schedule, DWTS will continue releasing one new episode per week. So, if you want to watch season 31 in its entirety, you'll need to wait until a new champion is crowned later this year.
That said, there are multiple ways you can watch Dancing With the Stars on Disney+. If you don't have a registered account yet, you can opt into different plans which start at $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year. But keep in mind that when Disney Basic goes into effect, the monthly cost will go up to $10.99 a month. There is also the opportunity to include Hulu and ESPN+ to their services (a.k.a. the Disney Bundle), which would round up the cost to $13.99 a month.
Once you've made an account, you can go to the show's official page on the Disney+ website or stream it on the Disney+ app.
