The network’s longest-running show will return on Friday September 16 at 9pm, in its traditional timeslot, having seen its Covid-focused 15th season air on Tuesdays.
Production is currently underway in Dallas as 52 hopefuls begin training and competing in a rigorous training camp to vie for a highly-coveted spot on the iconic professional cheerleading team.

Exclusive: Coming off its highest-rated season in franchise history, Cmt has renewed Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team for a 15th season, premiering later this fall.
The series, which launched in 2006, continues to be a huge ratings driver for Cmt. Last summer’s Season 14 was up 23% in the P18-49 demo year-over-year in Live+3 ratings, according to Nielsen and the network.
This season will follow a group of hopefuls as they work their way through the rigorous training camp and vie for a spot on the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. In a first, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, the franchise conducted world-wide auditions virtually, which the network says resulted in “one of the most diverse and talented casts to-date”, and hosted Dcc Summer Training Camp inside a “bubble,” where hopefuls lived, trained and filmed together, hoping to impress longtime coaches, Kelli Finglass and Judy Trammell.
The Dallas Cowboys will play their first home game this weekend.

If there's one thing the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are famous for, it's their unrivaled talent for high-kicks, splits and sideline dancing in their trademark white hotpants and cowboy boots.
But if there's something the squad's Cmt reality show, "Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team" is known for, it may be the terrible dancing the judges are faced with each season at auditions.
From cringe-inducing twerking to eyebrow-raising choreography, and even the occasional this-can-only-go-wrong backflip, they're all caught on camera for "Making the Team."
Cmt will air a sneak peek Friday (Aug. 23) at 9 p.m. of the worst dancing and most ill-fitting audition outfits from Season 8 -- along with the cream of the crop dancers, about whom squad director Kelli Finglass says, "I could put a uniform on them today." But Zap2it has your first look at the video now.
