Happy New Year! It’s time to bid farewell to 2025 as we prepare to celebrate the start of 2026.
NYE celebrations at Times Square have been held for 122 years, "ever since the owners of One Times Square began to conduct rooftop celebrations."
Thankfully, digital streams of the iconic and deeply expensive fireworks from around the globe are easily accessible, from the iconic lit-up vista of Sydney Harbour to London's Thames affair. Here's a guide to where you can watch the countdowns live or on demand — this is your 2026, you can decide when midnight happens for you.
