Here’s what we know about season 3 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Was America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders renewed for another season?

Yes, Netflix confirmed the news on August 18, two months after the season 2 premiere.


Prior to the news, the team has been teasing the audition process for the coming year. They even shared a finalized roster of 36 cheerleaders this June for training camp 2025, and a clip featuring guest judge, Kacey Musgraves—who would be a huge get for a new season.

What would season 3 of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders be about?

Each season is an examination of the young women auditioning to perform on the cheerleading team for the Dallas Cowboys, following those who make it to training camp as they grow and develop their skills. Season 2 followed both the rookies and the seasoned veterans who will ultimately find their place in one of the 36 spots on the official squad.

All Netflix has shared so far is: “With the latest auditions and training camp complete and football season about to kick off, cameras have been rolling in Texas capturing every moment for Season 3.”

Who will be in the cast?

DCC Senior Director Kelli Finglass and Head Choreographer Judy Trammell will be back for the third season, alongside “the newly formed 2025 squad,” according to Netflix.

Musgraves seems to be involved in some capacity, and some girls will be returning from past seasons. The team also shared their “rookie roundup.”

Fan favorite Dayton might make an appearance, though this fan-made TikTok explains she did not make the final round.

When will season 3 be released?

Sometime in 2026, though Netflix hasn’t confirmed a release date yet.

Seasons 1 and 2 both came out in June, one year apart; could we be headed for another summer release next year? Stay tuned.
