For those without cable, there are options to watch “Dancing with the Stars” live. Disney+ offers the opportunity to stream the show, and there is currently a promotion where viewers can get their first three months of Disney+ Basic (with ads) for only $1.99/month. This deal provides ample time to watch the entire season. After the promotional period ends, the subscription will revert to the standard basic price of $9.99/month.

Alternatively, viewers can take advantage of free trials offered by live TV streaming services that include ABC. DIRECTV Stream, for example, offers a five-day free trial before requiring payment.

While the exact number of episodes for Season 33 has not been confirmed by ABC, last year’s Season 32 consisted of 11 episodes, concluding on December 5. It is likely that this season will have a similar timeline.

It’s worth mentioning that ABC has adjusted their broadcast schedule to accommodate the vice presidential debate scheduled for October 1. As a result, there will be no episode airing on that night. However, two episodes will be aired back-to-back on October 7 and 8 instead. This ensures that viewers do not miss out on any of the thrilling dance performances.

So, get ready to be entertained as Season 33 of “Dancing with the Stars” kicks off tonight with an incredible lineup of talented celebrities and their professional dance partners.
