Dancing with the Stars Season 34 Update

Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars kicks off in about four weeks, as audiences gear up to see who will take home the coveted Mirrorball trophy. However, ongoing negotiations between Disney and YouTube might impact viewership for tonight’s episode.

This week’s participants—including Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, Whitney Leavitt, Dylan Efron, Andy Richter, Elaine Hendrix, Danielle Fishel, and Jordan Childs—will perform in honor of their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, featuring classic songs from renowned artists like Bon Jovi and The White Stripes. It’s getting intense, especially after Jen Affleck, star of The Secret Life of a Mormon Wife, was eliminated last week.

As it stands, Disney hasn’t secured streaming rights with YouTube for this show, which airs on ABC.

ABC is urging fans to help speed things along, encouraging them to reach out to YouTube and express their desire to keep the network accessible.

Despite the troubles with YouTube TV, there’s still a way to catch tonight’s episode of Dancing with the Stars. Here’s what you should know.

How to Watch Dancing with the Stars Without YouTube TV

New episodes air every Tuesday at 8 PM ET, and you can watch them live on ABC or via Disney+.

Unfortunately, viewers can’t stream Dancing with the Stars on YouTube TV this week.

Disney+ has a range of subscription options to suit different preferences. The ad-supported plan is priced at $10.99 per month, while the ad-free version is $18.99 per month or $189.99 per year.

There’s also a bundle option that combines Disney+ with Hulu, Max, and ESPN+, allowing subscribers to save over 40% each month. This bundle starts at $12.99 per month for Disney+ and Hulu with ads, and goes up to $32.99 per month for the ad-free versions of all three.

The timeline for negotiations between Disney and YouTube remains unclear, and it’s worth noting that several other Disney-owned networks, like ESPN, FX, and National Geographic, are similarly affected.
