Given Flirty Dancing's premiere will air simultaneously in all time zones, the show will debut on the West Coast at 5PM PT.
Flirty Dancing will be a mix of performance and blind dating, as singles look to find their match through dancing chemistry.
Sharna, 34, became a professional partner on Dancing with the Stars for Season 16. Among her 12 seasons on the show, Sharna was crowned champion once with Bobby Bones at the end of Season 27. Prior to her victory with Bobby, Sharna had also accumulated three second-place finishes.
"Lots of emotion, vulnerability and truth all shared through dance," Sharna wrote Monday on Instagram of her time thus far on Flirty Dancing.
"This is yet another experience that makes me grateful for having the transformative, cathartic and healing power of dance with me my whole life. Getting to share that with others is always a gift."
Val, 33, joined Dancing with the Stars as a pro dancer on Season 13 and has participated in 15 seasons overall. Val, who has made the finals a handful of times, won Dancing with the Stars twice with Rumer Willis and Laurie Hernandez in Seasons 20 and 23, respectively.
Late last month, Val said on Instagram working with "a class act" like Jenna on Flirty Dancing was an "absolutely pleasure" and she's "so kind" and "so much fun."

In addition to Val and Sharna, Flirty Dancing will also feature So You Think You Can Dance's Travis Wall, Tyce Diorio, Chloe Arnold, and Jonathan Redavid as choreographers, People reported.
Other talents on the show will reportedly include Dominque Kelley from Broadway's In The Heights and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Kat Burns.

In Flirty Dancing, complete strangers are each taught half of a dance routine and then meet for the first time on a blind date at a beautiful location, where they will dance without speaking a word.
Singles will perform a different choreographed dance with each of two potential love interests, before choosing the one with whom he or she has the strongest connection.
While the singles may not all be professional dancers, the choreography will tell a story reflective of their personal journeys to find love, while also providing clues to their partner's personality.
"Flirty Dancing is a truly unique format -- it's unlike anything we've ever seen before. It's fun, fresh and romantic, and broadens the dating format far beyond its traditional boundaries," Fox reality chief Rob Wade said in a recent statement.
Following its special premiere, Flirty Dancing will air weekly in the Wednesdays 8PM ET/PT time period beginning January 1, 2020.
