Here's how to stream Times Square New Year's Eve performances on Wednesday night and the ball drop ushering in 2026.

New Year's Eve is all about partying and spending quality time with your loved ones. But when the clock strikes 12, some will start shoveling grapes into their mouths while sitting under a table, while others will make sure to wear the right color underwear to make sure their New Year's resolutions come true.

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters as he arrived at a New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida that his new year's resolution was peace on Earth.

Diana Ross brought her signature glamour to "New Year's Rockin' Eve." Check out what she sang and wore to ring in 2026.

Several people were killed and many others injured after an explosive fire broke out during a New Year’s Eve party at a bar in Crans-Montana, a luxury ski resort in the Swiss Alps. Authorities are investigating the cause.

The festivities are shadowed by the anniversary of an ISIS-inspired truck-ramming terrorist attack in New Orleans that killed 15 people.

"Time-balls" precede the Times Square New Year's Eve tradition. Balls have been "dropped" since at least the 1830s at England’s Royal Observatory at Greenwich, where a ball dropped at a set hour every day for captains to set their navigation tools.

This year's ball drop has a patriotic twist to kick off months of celebrations leading up to the nation's 250th anniversary.

The hosting duo is joined by Stephen Colbert, Shakira, Florence + The Machine, Robyn and dozens more performers and surprise guests.
