Ready to rock with “Dancing With the Stars” tonight? If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you might have noticed things aren’t going as smoothly as a perfect Paso Doble. The good news? You don’t need YouTube TV to keep up with all the ballroom drama. Find out here how to watch “DWTS” 2025 tonight live and on demand.
When Does ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Week 8 Air?
For week 8 of the competition, which happens to be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night, it will take place on Tuesday, November 4 at 8 p.m. EST.
All new episodes air live on ABC and Disney+, and then are available to stream on Hulu the following day.
How to Watch ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Without YouTube TV
If you haven’t heard, YouTube TV and Disney are in the middle of a contract dispute. Because of that, there was a blackout of all Disney channels on the streaming service starting late October 30, 2025.
That means there was no Monday Night Football last night on YouTube TV, and now no “Dancing With the Stars” tonight on YouTube TV, unless an agreement comes into play before tonight’s episode airs.
While that is no fun, there are still options for YouTube TV subscribers. As mentioned above, all live episodes of “DWTS” air on Disney+, so that is still an option.
For Hulu subscribers, you can add the Live TV option and have access to tonight’s episode, too.
Other options include COX, DIRECTV, Dish, Fubo, Mediacom, Optimum, Sling, Spectrum TV, Verizon FOIS, and Xfinity. Different rates may apply, as well as some may have free trial offers, so you don’t have to miss tonight’s episode, and then, hopefully, the contract dispute will be resolved by next week.
What to Expect on Tonight’s New Episode
For tonight’s new episode of “Dancing With the Stars” season 34, we have Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night. The couples will be dancing to songs by artists who have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so we will have some classics along the way.
From there, the couples will combine forces for the team dances, which include Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough joining each team for the first time. The team captains are Andy Richter and Danielle Fishel. These team dances will be performed alongside live performances by Kool & the Gang and Chicago.
The episode will kick off with an opening number to “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard and “Fight the Power” by Public Enemy. Joining the judges this week will be Flavor Flav, also a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
