Dancing With The Stars 2020 Schedule: Episode 2 Time & Channel

Tonight marks the second episode of the 2020 season of Dancing With the Stars. Since the show moved nights this week, many viewers are wondering when the new episode will air. DWTS season 29 episode two will premiere tonight, September 22, 2020, at 8 p.m. 

This will be the second time this years’ stars get to take the stage alongside the professional dancers and show off their moves on live TV.

For the rest of the season, though, DWTS will return to Monday nights on ABC. They’ll air at 8 p.m. on the channel. Tuesday nights will soon be taken over with The Bachelorette, which will air on the channel beginning on October 13.
