Dancing with the Stars Season 34 Finale Set for November 25
LOS ANGELES, CA — The season 34 finale of “Dancing with the Stars” will air live on Tuesday, Nov. 25, from 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. EST. The finale will feature the remaining five couples competing for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in a demanding showdown that includes a Judges’ Choice dance, an Instant Dance, and a Freestyle routine.
This season has been record-breaking in terms of viewer participation. The couples will return to the ballroom for three intense rounds of competition, with performances choreographed to music from various artists including Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift.
The finale will be invigorated by an opening number choreographed by Joey Pizzi, set to “Never Can Say Goodbye” by The Communards. Fans will have the opportunity to vote during the live broadcast, further shaping the outcome. Voting will be available online and via SMS for viewers across the U.S., though SMS voting is unavailable in Canada.
This season has brought emotional moments and surprising eliminations, culminating in a semi-finals episode where Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas were unexpectedly eliminated. The final competitors include social media star Alix Earle, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, and conservationist Robert Irwin, among others, each of whom has shown significant improvement throughout the competition.
As the finalists prepare for one last night of performances, Alix Earle expressed her excitement for the finale: “I’ve had a whole spectrum of emotions, and I feel grateful for every moment of this journey,” she stated.
The show is co-hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, with judges including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough. Viewers can catch the finale live on ABC and Disney+, or stream it on Hulu the next day.
