When does Dancing with the Stars Season 35 premiere?

Season 35 kicks off with a special two-night premiere on Tuesday (September 15) and Wednesday (September 16).

Both episodes begin at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. Episodes will also be available to stream the following day on Hulu.

ABC has confirmed that both premiere episodes will run for approximately two hours.

Why is the Dancing with the Stars premiere two nights?

There’s a twist to the Season 35 premiere!

The male celebrities will perform on Tuesday night’s first episode, with each star dancing to a No. 1 song from the year they were born.

One male celebrity will then be eliminated at the end of the night.

On Wednesday, the female celebrities will make their ballroom debuts, also performing to No. 1 songs from their birth years. One female celebrity will be eliminated at the end of the second night.

That means two celebrities will be eliminated during premiere week.
