“Making the Team” will never be the same.

When COVID-19 arrived in the U.S. in early 2020, the pandemic nearly cancelled the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ season. In an attempt to keep the legendary program on track, DCC director, Kelli Finglass and staff — of CMT’s “DCC: Making the Team” — experimented with software so that dancers across the country could audition virtually.

“We developed a robust audition application platform that allowed people to initially try out from their homes,” Finglass told The Post — confirming DCC will move forward with its new virtual audition process that fans were first introduced to last season.

Season 15 also saw the first-ever DCC Summer Training Camp inside a “bubble,” and the most veteran cuts in the show’s history, as a result of COVID-19. Now, the show will move back to the turf at AT&T Stadium in the Season 16 premiere on Friday at 9/8c on CMT.

Since DCC auditions are now partially virtual, dancers can film their preliminary performances from just about anywhere, to submit online.
