Charli and Heidi D'Amelio were officially announced as part of the season's cast on September 7,[13] with the full roster of celebrity participants and their partnerships officially revealed on Good Morning America the following day.[14][15] With sixteen couples, this season was tied with season nine as having the largest cast in the show's history.[16]

A promo for the season released on August 18 featured professional dancers Daniella Karagach, Pasha Pashkov, Artem Chigvintsev, Witney Carson, Brandon Armstrong, and Cheryl Burke.[17] Britt Stewart, Peta Murgatroyd, Emma Slater, Koko Iwasaki, Val Chmerkovskiy, Alan Bersten, Gleb Savchenko, and Louis Van Amstel were later revealed to be the rest of the professional dancers for the season.[18] Mark Ballas was announced as a pro on September 8.[19] Sasha Farber was initially reported to be a troupe member this season, but was later revealed to also be returning as a pro.[20][21] Jenna Johnson and Lindsay Arnold both sat the season out, due to Johnson expecting her first child and Arnold wanting to spend time with her family.[22][23] Iwasaki, who was the runner-up on season 14 of So You Think You Can Dance and performed as part of the Dancing with the Stars Live! – 2022 Tour, joined the show as a first-time pro.

On September 26, 2022, it was announced that Daniella Karagach had tested positive for COVID-19 and would miss that night's performance.
