“‘Dancing With The Stars’ Hits 9-Year High in Adults 18-49 on Super Bowl Night” — what this page in the network covers. ABC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ delivered its best adults 18-49 rating in nine years on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, according to Nielsen Big Data + Panel. The episode, which aired opposite Fox’s Super Bowl LIX post-game coverage, drew 6.59 million live + same-day viewers, up 2% from the previous week, and led all primetime programming among the major broadcasters. The show posted an 11% ratings increase in the key demographic, reaching a 0.83 rating among adults 18-49—its highest since 2016.
This surge underscores the enduring appeal of the celebrity dance competition, now in its 33rd season, even against one of television’s biggest nights. For advertisers and ABC, the timing is notable: capturing younger viewers on Super Bowl night suggests the franchise remains a reliable anchor for live, family-friendly entertainment.
