Dancing With the Stars is bringing the turf to the ballroom with its first-ever Super Bowl Night.
The theme was announced during Good Morning America on Wednesday, September 30, with ABC revealing that the ballroom dance competition will host a night of legendary proportions honoring the “music, spectacle and unforgettable moments of the big game.”
Super Bowl Night will kick off on Tuesday, October 13, with the remaining couples taking the dance floor for routines set to songs performed during halftime at the annual NFL championship game.
The exciting new theme is a nod to Disney’s upcoming integration plan with ABC and ESPN, which will air this season’s Super Bowl on Sunday, February 14, 2027.
While fans have to wait some time to see which two football teams will face off at the big game, DWTS viewers will see their favorite dancers competing again next week for Mariah Carey Night.
The remaining duos include, Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik, Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess, Jenna Dewan and Val Chmerkovskiy, Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas, Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong, Jackson Olson and Emma Slater, Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson, Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa, Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold and Guillermo Rodriguez and Witney Carson following another surprising elimination on Tuesday, September 29.
Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart were sent home on Yacht Rock Night after receiving a 18 out of 30 score from the judges for their foxtrot to “What a Fool Believes” by The Doobie Brothers.
“This has been everything. This has been incredible. She’s showed me things I didn’t think was possible and I’m so grateful for this time,” Hanson said as Stewart added, “Taylor, I am so grateful that I now have you in my life. Thank you so much for everything. You are amazing.”
Conner Leavitt and partner Adele Zaikman, were previously sent home during week one, along with Sarah Jane Nader and partner Hailey Bills. Giada De Laurentiis and her pro, Alan Bersten, were eliminated during week two.
As the season continues, viewers will be treated to Super Bowl Night during week five of the competition series, followed by Dedication Night on Tuesday, October 20, and Horror Movie Night on Tuesday, October 27, just in time for Halloween later that week.
The previously announced themes for November include Disney Night and Grammy Night before the semi-finals and finale set for Tuesday, November 24.
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
