What ‘Dedication Night’ includes (time, date, and format)

Dancing with the Stars Season 34’s “Dedication Night” airs Tuesday, October 14, 2025, with celebrities performing tributes to the people who shaped their lives. The pre-episode reveal lays out who will be in the ballroom and who each routine will honor, setting the stage for a mix of “moving ballads and fun, up-tempo numbers,” plus a special return to the judges’ table.

A two-time Mirrorball champion—identified in the preview as Kym Johnson —returns as a guest judge for the night. The advance notes also emphasize that dedications will span “parents, partners, siblings, mentors and friends.”
