How to watch Dancing With the Stars 2020 season 29 finale online and anywhere tonight

Arguably the most intriguing season of Dancing With the Stars yet comes to an end tonight, when the four remaining couples will strut their stuff one last time in the hope of winning the ballroom dancing competition's 2020 crown. Follow our guide as we explain how to watch Dancing With the Stars season 27 finale online wherever you are right now.

The four couples competing for glory tonight are: Justina Machado and Sasha Farber, Nelly and Daniella Karagach, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Artem Chigvintsev, and Nev Schulman and Jenna Johnson.

They've outlasted some fierce competition this years, with the likes of Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean, figure skater Johnny Weir, former NFL tight end Vernon Davis, Tiger King star Carole Baskin, and Selling Sunset's Chrishell Stause among those to have left the show. 

A number of them will return to the stage tonight to help support our final four - including the surprise last minute addition of popular former contestant Jeannie Mai, who had to retire from the show due to health issues earlier in the season. We've also got a special greatest hits performance from finalist Nelly to look forward to, plus judge Derek Hough will also dance for the second this season. 

Hough, a professional ballroom dancer and record six-time winner of the show, replaced Strictly's Len Goodman on the show's panel this season as part of a big shake-up that also saw supermodel Tyra Banks take over hosting duties. 

There's still time for one more night of drama, though, so read on as we explain how to watch Dancing With the Stars 2020 season finale online from anywhere today.
