The twentieth series of Ballando con le Stelle is currently broadcasting from 27 September 2025 to 20 December 2025 on Rai 1 and is presented by Milly Carlucci with Massimiliano Rosolino and the Big Band. ^{[1] [2]}

The edition once again sees the reduction of the competing couples to twelve, after the return to thirteen couples which occurred during the previous edition, and the further increase in the episodes from 12 to 13, becoming the edition with the longest duration in the history of the program.

The dancer Simone Di Pasquale, who had held the role of tribune during the previous three editions, returns to the competition as master, being replaced as tribune by the choreographer Matteo Addino, supported by the reconfirmed former master of the program Sara Di Vaira. As in the previous three editions, both have the possibility of drawing a pair eliminated each thanks to the mechanism called "wild card".

The first episode aired from 8.45pm, while starting from the second episode, the program airs from 9.30 pm to make room for Affari Tuoi.

Given the coincidence with Italy's qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup broadcast by Rai 1, the third episode on 11 October was exceptionally broadcast in the late evening starting from 10.50 pm.

As with the previous three editions, the program is accompanied by two spin-offs: Ballando Segreto, broadcast in streaming on RaiPlay from 26 September 2025 and focused on unpublished and "behind the scenes" content of the edition, and the eighth edition of Ballando on the Road, broadcast from 18 October 2025 as a preview on RaiPlay and in the late evening on Rai 1 at the end of the episode of Ballando con le Stelle.
