What time does Dancing with the Stars Season 23 start on Monday night, and how can you watch it live online? If you’re not near a TV to watch 13 celebrities and their pro dance partners compete for the Mirrorball Trophy this season, ABC offers free live stream service for computers, smartphones, and tablets in select cities across the United States.

Find information about ABC’s live stream service below as well as the latest scoop about the first night of competition including the start time, a complete cast lineup, and voting phone numbers and links for online voting.

Start Time: The two-hour DWTS season premiere starts at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, September 12. According to ABC, if you live in Los Angeles or San Francisco the premiere will be broadcast at 5 p.m. PDT on ABC due to an NFL game. Next week, the show will transition to a two-night format with a two-hour live show on Monday nights followed by the results shows on Tuesday nights.

Hosts and Judges: Once again, Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are back to co-host Dancing with the Stars. Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba are back at the judges’ table.

There have been rumors that Julianne Hough will return as a judge after taking last season off. However, Julianne tells ET that she “can’t confirm or deny” that she’s a Season 23 judge because she hasn’t “signed anything yet.”

“It’s funny because everybody is saying that [I’m coming back], but I actually can’t confirm or deny that I’m going to be on so, I don’t know! There’s been so many rumors, but I actually technically haven’t signed anything yet so, we’ll see!”

Live Stream: Watch Dancing with the Stars on your local ABC TV channel or live stream the show online via Watch ABC or by downloading the free ABC app for mobile devices.

Please note that not everyone will have the ability to stream DWTS online during the live show. The network reports that live stream video service is currently available to viewers in New York City, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, Chicago, Fresno, Houston, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. If your city is on the list, you must verify that you have a paid TV provider like Cox, Verizon Fios, DISH, and AT&T U-verse to activate the streaming service.
