New York City rang in 2026 with the famed Times Square ball drop. Crowds bundled up against the chilly temperatures cheered and embraced as the New Year’s Eve ball covered in more than 5,000 crystals descended down a pole.
Mariah Carey, Charlie Puth, Madison Beer, Le Sserafim and more took the stage to perform as the special rang in 2026 from New York City, Chicago, Las Vegas, Puerto Rico and beyond. See the arrival and performance photos from Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest below.
