DWTS Season 31 is airing on Disney+ this year, which is a major change for the series. Since it first premiered in 2005, it’s been on ABC. The platform shift has upset many loyal viewers who don’t have access to Disney+. Now, many are curious to know if there will be any alternative ways to watch the performance, or if they have to watch it live at all.

Will fans be able to watch the show if they don’t tune into the live stream? Keep reading to get the answers fans are looking for.

Can fans still watch DWTS Season 31 if they missed the live stream?

Many fans have decided to boycott DWTS Season 31 over the move to Disney+. But those with a subscription are still excited to catch all the action and excitement.

The live stream began at 8 PM eastern time and 5 PM pacific time. This meant that many fans living on the west coast were still leaving work and didn’t quite get the chance to catch the beginning. So will they be able to rewatch later, or will they be out of luck?

The good news is that fans can pause the DWTS Season 31 live stream, start it over from the beginning, or even catch it the next day if they weren’t able to tune in.

Plenty of fans are upset about the live stream, but Disney+ is doing everything in its power to make the show accessible to fans. Judge Derek Hough confirmed the news in a recent interview with TV Line.

“In some ways, it feels like a brand-new show. We’ve been on for 16 years and 30 seasons. The show has been so special to so many people. I recently read that there are more people watching streaming than there are people watching cable. We all know that the move to streaming has been inevitable. I’m really proud to be a part of a show that’s ahead of the curve and always has been. It’s exciting and it’s also uncertain,” the Utah-native told the publication.

Fans can’t wait to see the star-studded cast

The official DWTS Season 31 cast was revealed on Good Morning America on September 8. Many fans were delighted to learn that major names like Wayne Brady would compete this year.
