Dancing with the Stars 2026 finale is Nov. 24: here’s the schedule

Dancing with the Stars Season 35 has two weeks left before the Nov. 24 finale. Here’s when Grammy Night and the semifinals air, who’s left and how to vote on ABC and Disney+.

Dancing with the Stars is in the home stretch. Season 35 is set to wrap with its finale on Tuesday, Nov. 24, according to Decider and HollywoodLife.

That leaves two more regular shows. Seven couples are still dancing, and one of them takes home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Here’s the Season 35 Disney Night opening number from the show’s official channel, in case you missed it:

When is the Dancing with the Stars finale?

The finale is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2026. That’s two days before Thanksgiving, so plan your pie around it.

ABC hasn’t announced how long the finale runs. Regular episodes air from 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC and Disney+, and they stream the next day on Hulu.

What’s left on the DWTS 2026 schedule?

Here’s how the rest of the season lines up, per Decider and Good Morning America:

• Tuesday, Nov. 10: Grammy Night

• Tuesday, Nov. 17: Semifinals

• Tuesday, Nov. 24: Finale

ABC hasn’t named a theme for the semifinals yet. After the season, a “Dancing with the Holidays” special premieres Dec. 1, according to Decider.

Who is left on Dancing with the Stars?

Seven couples remain heading into Grammy Night, per GMA:

• Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov

• Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold

• Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach

• Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson

• Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy

• Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas

• Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik

Harry Shum Jr. looks like the one to beat on the judges’ side. He earned the season’s first perfect score on Horror Movie Night, then got another on Disney Night, TheWrap reported. Jenna Dewan earned her first perfect score on Disney Night too.

Shum and Johnson also won immunity as the top scorers on Disney Night, Decider reported. Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa went home that night with 33 out of 40, after Stiles dealt with a flare-up of an old rib injury in rehearsals, according to TV Insider.

Who has been eliminated from DWTS Season 35?

Here’s the list so far, per GMA:

• Conner Leavitt and Adele Zaikman (Sept. 15)

• Sarah Jane Nader and Hailey Bills (Sept. 16)

• Giada De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten (Sept. 22)

• Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart (Sept. 29)

• Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong (Oct. 6)

• Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson (Oct. 13)

• Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess (Oct. 27)

• Jackson Olson and Emma Slater (Oct. 27)

• Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa (Nov. 2)

Dedication Night on Oct. 20 had no elimination, which is why Horror Movie Night sent two couples home. Disney Night aired on a Monday, Nov. 2, because of election coverage the next night.

How do you vote on Dancing with the Stars?

Voting is live, during the show. HollywoodLife lays it out like this:

• Vote online at DWTSVote.abc.com. It’s open in the U.S., its territories and Canada.

• Or text the couple’s keyword to 21523. That’s for U.S. carriers only.

• You get up to 10 votes per couple for each method.

The window opens at 8 p.m. Eastern, which is 5 p.m. Pacific, and closes shortly after the last dance. So West Coast fans have to vote while the East Coast feed is live. Fan votes are combined with the judges’ scores.

Who won Dancing with the Stars last season?

Robert Irwin won Season 34. This season, he’s back as the host of the aftershow.

Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli are the regular judges this season. Cynthia Erivo sat in as a guest judge on Disney Night.

What songs are on DWTS Grammy Night?

We ran the songs last week, but here they are again. Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas tango to Sisqo’s “Thong Song,” Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson dance a salsa to “Die With a Smile,” and Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov get Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life.”

Per Just Jared, Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold dance an Argentine tango to “SexyBack,” Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach do one to “Crazy in Love,” Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy dance jazz to Janet Jackson’s “All for You,” and Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik tango to “Boom Boom Pow.”

It’s the last week before the semifinals, so somebody’s going home Tuesday. Bring snacks.
