Palin, 19, would follow in the reality TV footsteps of her former fiancé, Levi Johnston, whose small-screen adventure involves running for political office in Alaska. The 11th season of "Dancing with the Stars" is set to premiere on Sept. 20 on ABC.
The network declined to comment on E! Online's Palin report, saying the lineup would be officially announced next Monday. Palin last month made a guest appearance as herself on sibling cable network ABC Family's teen drama, "The Secret Life of the American Teenager."
She and Johnston, now 20, became the parents of a baby boy, Tripp, in December 2008. But their relationship has been rocky, with the couple twice breaking off their engagement plans amid an awkward battle for legal custody of their son.
Johnston has also publicly feuded with his would-be mother-in-law, a former Alaska governor who was US Sen. John McCain's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008. He has filed papers for a reality TV show he is filming seeking the mayoralty of Wasilla, a post she once held.
