New Year's Eve TV Schedule 2019: Where, When To Watch The Ball Drop

On New Year's Eve, millions of people will tune in to see the 2020 New Year's Eve ball drop. However, there are many options when it comes to where and how you view the annual event. Here are a few places you can see the festivities on TV and online.

For those who are looking for traditional ways to view the ball drop, channels such as Fox, NBC, and ABC will all have specials that will begin on Dec. 31.

Beginning at 8 p.m. EST, ABC will begin airing "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" with host Ryan Seacrest. The show, which can either be watched live on TV, streamed on ABC.com with a cable subscription login, or viewed through the ABC mobile app, will have an impressive lineup of musical acts to entertain those who tune in. Earlier this month, the "American Idol" host announced via Twitter that artists such as Post Malone and Alanis Morissette will help everyone ring in the new year.

Additionally, the K-pop group BTS is set to make an appearance. This would mark one of their first major appearances since returning from their hiatus earlier this year. However, it's debatable if any fans in attendance will be able to get pictures with the group.

NBC will also have a broadcast for those who are interested in watching hosts Carson Daly and Julianne Hough. The live show from Times Square in New York will air from 10-11 p.m. EST and then will resume from 11:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. EST. It can be viewed live on NBC, through the NBC app, or on a variety of other options, which can be found here.

Fox's "New Year's Eve With Steve Harvey" will also be available to watch. The "Family Feud" host will lead the show that will showcase appearances from Tyga, Backstreet Boys, and more. It will begin at 8 p.m. on Fox and can additionally be streamed on Fox.com.

CNN will also be live with hosts Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen as they welcome 2020 with their New Year's Eve coverage. Their program will begin at 8 p.m. EST. The "Watch What Happens Live" host shared a GIF on Twitter on Monday morning to show his excitement for the upcoming show, which can be seen below.

Aside from network broadcasts, the ball drop can also be viewed live on TimesSquareNYC.org, NewYearseve.nyc, and TimesSquareBall.net. Additionally, it can also be viewed on the official Times Square Facebook and Twitter pages.
