Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026 is loading up with 33 performers. Chappell Roan, Mariah Carey, Post Malone, Leon Thomas, Charlie Puth, and the KPop Demon Hunters breakout group HUNTR/X lead the pack. This year’s broadcast is going supersized: eight full hours, from 8 p.m. ET on Dec. 31 straight through 4 a.m. on Jan. 1 — the longest in the show’s 54-year history, with 85+ songs crammed into the marathon. ABC carries it live, Hulu gets it the next day. Ryan Seacrest returns in Times Square with Rita Ora as co-host. Chance the Rapper takes charge of the show’s first Central Time countdown from Chicago. Las Vegas coverage goes to Rob Gronkowski and Julianne Hough. Times Square’s headliner is still under wraps, and Puerto Rico’s segment details are coming.
