How to watch the 'Strictly Come Dancing' 2024 final online and on TV

The finalists of the "Strictly Come Dancing" 2024 Final.

The biggest night in ballroom is here as we crown the winner of “Strictly Come Dancing” 2024. Just four couples remain, hoping to waltz, salsa and jive their way to lifting the coveted glitterball trophy. Here's how to watch the "Strictly Come Dancing" 2024 final from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

'Strictly Come Dancing' final 2024 date, time, channel

The "Strictly Come Dancing" 2024 final airs on Saturday, December 14 at 6 p.m. GMT / 1 p.m. ET.
FREE STREAM — BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

“Strictly” 2024 has been a wild ride, with behind the scenes drama, dancers withdrawing and plenty of bickering among the judges, but as the season draws the a close, the focus is squarely on the dancefloor as Chris McCausland, Sarah Hadland, Tasha Ghouri and JB Gill enter the ballroom one last time.

Sarah has consistently wowed judges and audiences with her high energy performances, topping the leaderboard in weeks 6 and 9. The final will see Sarah and partner Vito restage their tribute to Hadland’s “Miranda” character with an American Smooth to “Proud” by Heather Small.

The only contestant so far to receive a perfect score, Tasha has been outstanding throughout the series. The Love Island finalist received 40 when her and partner Aljaž performed an American Smooth to Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” and they’ll be hoping their repeat of that jaw-dropping performance this weekend is equally as successful.

Chris has grown and grown in the competition. Audiences didn’t expect much from the partially-sighted comedian, but he’s defied his disability to become a joy to watch each week, particularly his emotional week 5 Waltz to “You’ll Never Walk Alone” alongside partner Dianne, which audiences will get to enjoy once more during the final.

It’s been a rollercoaster season for JB as his original partner Amy Dowden was forced to withdraw due to ill health halfway through the season after making a return to the ballroom this year. He managed to create equally entertaining chemistry with new partner Lauren though, and audiences will be excited to see the return of their Viennese Waltz to “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” in the final.

Ready to discover the cha-cha-cha champion? Read on to find out how to watch the "Strictly Come Dancing" season 22 final online and from anywhere.

Our favorite is NordVPN – and you can find out why in our NordVPN review.
