"Finale" - Once again, the finale episode will have five couples competing for a chance at winning the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. The finalists will each perform a redemption dance assigned by our judges, plus an unforgettable freestyle routine. The season 33 finale of "Dancing with the Stars" airs TUESDAY, NOV. 26 (8:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST, 7:00-10:00 p.m. CST), simulcasting LIVE across both ABC and Disney+ in local time zones and next day on Hulu.
The evening will kick off with a sensational opening number to "Holiday" by Madonna, choreographed by Ray Leeper. In addition, the talented pros from the DWTS LIVE 2025 Tour will perform a routine to "Rush" by Troye Sivan, choreographed by Mandy Moore, and Mark Ballas and Derek Hough team up for a dance to "Libertango" by Tango Bardo. But the excitement doesn't end there - returning season 32 champions Xochitl Gomez and Val Chmerkovskiy take to the ballroom floor for a performance to "Pink Pony Club" by Chappell Roan.
Fans will be able to vote during the live simulcast of the show in the ET/CT time zones. During this time, online voting will be available to fans in any time zone in the U.S., its territories and Canada via dwtsvote.abc.com, and fans on participating U.S. wireless carriers can also vote via SMS/text (fans in Canada cannot vote via SMS/text). Scores and votes from the last week's semifinals will be carried over and combined with live viewer votes and judges' scores from the finale to determine which couple will win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
