Is ‘Dancing With The Stars’ On Tonight? Here’s What You Need to Know

As the highly anticipated Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars continues, fans are eager to know if a new episode will air tonight, October 1st. However, there is a change in the schedule that affects the show's usual broadcast time.

Why Isnt Dancing With The Stars On Tonight?

The reason for the absence of a new episode of Dancing With The Stars on October 1st is due to the vice presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) and Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). This debate, which marks the final one before the 2024 November election, is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. on CBS, prompting ABC to preempt the usual DWTS broadcast.
