“Dancing With the Stars” Season 35 set to premiere Sept. 15 on ABC and Disney+, per Page Six

“Dancing With the Stars” Season 35 is scheduled to kick off on Sept. 15, with the new season set to launch on ABC and Disney+, according to a preview published by Page Six on Aug. 31. The outlet’s write-up frames the premiere date as the start of an “all-new season” and positions it as a dual-platform release for viewers who watch through traditional broadcast and streaming.

The Page Six preview is organized as a running breakdown of what is known ahead of “premiere night,” indicating that additional details about the new cycle are expected to emerge in the run-up to Sept. 15. The article does not present a broadcast schedule beyond the premiere itself in the information available from the discovery packet, but it emphasizes that Sept. 15 is the key date for the season’s opening episode.

Page Six’s accompanying image for the Aug. 31 update shows a judges’ table scene from a “Dancing with the Stars” finale. The image caption identifies Carrie Ann Inaba, Alfonso Ribeiro, Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, and Bruno Tonioli, suggesting they were among the prominent on-screen judges and presenters seen in the franchise’s recent finale coverage.

The Sept. 15 start date places the series’ next cycle in the early fall, a period when network and streaming platforms typically concentrate high-visibility launches for broad audiences. Page Six’s preview further indicates that the franchise is maintaining a cross-platform strategy, pairing ABC’s scheduled premiere with Disney+ access for viewers who follow the show through streaming.

For audiences, the practical takeaway from the announcement is the timing and the viewing options. If a viewer plans to watch the opening week on ABC, the premiere is targeted for Sept. 15; if they rely on Disney+ instead, the same date is presented by Page Six as the season launch point. The preview’s “everything we know so far” framing also indicates that more items, such as additional series details, are not finalized or not included in the Aug. 31 summary.

Beyond the entertainment schedule, the dual distribution approach matters for production and audience access, since it can affect how quickly viewers can watch new episodes and how the series is marketed across channels. With ABC and Disney+ both tied to the Sept. 15 premiere in the Page Six report, the season’s opening episode is positioned as a shared event intended to capture audiences wherever they watch the franchise.
