Next week, the theme of Dancing with the Stars is the Super Bowl, and who is more fitting to serve as a judge than NFL commentator Joe Buck?

He will be heading to the ballroom on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, as a guest judge. He will sit at the table with Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli for “Super Bowl Night.”

This marks the first time that Dancing with the Stars has held a “Super Bowl Night.” The remaining 11 couples will perform dances set to some of the songs performed at past Super Bowl Halftime Shows.

Of course, Dancing with the Stars airs on ABC, and Super Bowl 61 will also air on the network (as well as ESPN and Disney+) on Valentine's Day in February 2027. Buck will be calling that game as well alongside Troy Aikman.

Buck is in the middle of his 29th season calling NFL games. His father, Jack Buck, was also an iconic sportscaster. Buck is also known for calling baseball games. He has been the voice of 24 World Series and 22 MLB All-Star games. Additionally, he has called five U.S. Opens.
