Dancing with the Stars to host Super Bowl Night episode

Dancing with the Stars is set to air its Super Bowl Night episode on October 13, 2026, as part of its 35th season. The episode will feature 11 celebrity couples performing routines inspired by famous Super Bowl halftime shows.

Sports commentator Joe Buck is scheduled to join the judging panel, which includes Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. The episode will also feature performances from former NFL players and alumni, such as Emmitt Smith, Donald Driver, DeMarcus Ware, and Danny Amendola.

Viewers can participate in live voting via the official website or through SMS text voting during the broadcast window. Online voting is available to viewers in the United States and Canada, while text voting is restricted to eligible viewers within the United States.

Despite the upcoming guest lineup, some fans on social media have expressed disappointment regarding the absence of Erin Andrews. Andrews, a former contestant and co-host of the show, has been suggested by viewers as a potential guest judge for the football-themed night.
