For those who wish to steer clear of crowds, watching New Year’s Eve fireworks from the comfort of your home has turned into a favored option. Relishing the countdown while seated on your couch is a wonderful method to usher in the new year, enabling you to raise a toast with an actual glass rather than a flimsy plastic cup.
Fortunately, there are easily accessible digital streams showcasing magnificent fireworks displays from various locations around the globe, ranging from the breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour to the joyous festivities along the Thames in London. Here’s a guide to where you can tune in for live or on-demand countdowns — it’s your 2026, allowing you to decide when to ring in midnight.

Grasping time zones is essential for New Year’s Eve festivities. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) serves as the worldwide time reference, with the time zone of each place calculated as an offset from UTC. For example, London (UTC+0) corresponds with UTC, whereas cities like Dubai (UTC+4) are ahead, and New York City (UTC-5) lags behind, celebrating later. Beginning at UTC+14 in Kiritimati and concluding in Hawaii at UTC-10, this time zone sequence enables us to participate in global celebrations as midnight arrives in each area.
