Knowing how to watch Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest is key to ringing in the new year—and we have tips to watch it for free and enjoy this New Year’s tradition below.
Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve special has been broadcast annually since 1972 from New York City’s Times Square. The special, which features the New Year’s Eve ball drop and guest performances, was originally hosted by its namesake Dick Clark until he had a stroke in 2004. American Idol alum Ryan Seacrest joined the special in 2005 and hosted with Clark until the famed radio personality’s death in 2012. Since then, the special has transformed into Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest, who continues to bring the holiday cheer and amp up the millions watching at home and in-person at Times Square.
This year will mark the 50th anniversary of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and will feature Rockin’ Eve’s first-ever Spanish language countdown set in Puerto Rico. The show, which is produced by MRC Live and Alternative, will continue to see Seacrest hosting alongside special guests and performers. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Seacrest revealed that he’s “grateful” to ring in another new year in Times Square.
“It’s been a privilege to spend the last 17 years ringing in the new year on Times Square with friends in person and at home,” Seacrest shared. “I’m looking forward to continuing the traditions and making new memories as we go into this next chapter. I’m grateful I get to do what I love every year and collaborate with the best-in-class teams at MRC and ABC on this annual event.”
