'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026' announces star-studded host lineup

Ryan Seacrest is set to host Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with a star-studded lineup of co-hosts in 2026, promising a night to remember as the clock strikes midnight.

Joining Seacrest will be Rita Ora and Chance the Rapper, both known for their chart-topping hits. In Chicago, the rapper will bring his hometown vibe to the show from the Midwest. Meanwhile, NFL superstar Rob Gronkowski is set to join forces with Julianne Hough, who's making her hosting debut alongside Seacrest. The host joining from Puerto Rico has yet to be announced.

The show, a staple of New Year's Eve celebrations, promises unforgettable live performances from past years, including Taylor Swift's medley in Times Square and Jennifer Lopez's high-flying performance. Recent performers have included Sabrina Carpenter, Lenny Kravitz, Alanis Morissette, the Jonas Brothers, and Duran Duran.

Last year's show was capped off by Carrie Underwood's spectacular Times Square performance, so fans can expect even more excitement in 2026. The event airs on ABC on December 31 at 8:00 p.m. EST, with a repeat showing on Hulu.
 
I'm still on my grandma's couch watching the same old NYE special every year πŸ“ΊπŸŽ‰... just kidding! kind of. But for real though, it's great to see Ryan Seacrest bringing back some of that classic vibe with Rita Ora and Chance the Rapper joining him in 2026. And can we talk about Rob Gronkowski? The guy's a total goofball and I'm sure he'll bring the laughs - Julianne Hough is gonna be a great host too, she's got that whole dance thing down pat πŸ’ƒπŸ»! And omg, Taylor Swift's medley in Times Square was pure magic ✨... fingers crossed they play it again this year!
 
I'm thinking, what makes Ryan Seacrest so special to keep hosting this show year after year? I mean, he's got the charm and charisma, no doubt about it. But is it just about him being the face of the event? I think it's about how he brings people together, you know? He's got a way of making everyone feel welcome and included, even with all those A-listers co-hosting with him. It's like he's creating a sense of community on live TV. And that's what makes NYE Rockin' Eve so special - it's not just about the performances or the stars, but about the energy of the crowd and the excitement of the countdown. We can all learn from Ryan's ability to bring people together and create an unforgettable experience. 🀩
 
πŸŽ‰ I'm hyped for next year's Rockin' Eve! 🀩 Having Chance the Rapper on board is gonna bring that Chicago energy to the show and I love that we're finally getting some representation from Puerto Rico too 🌟. Rob Gronkowski's vibe is always a winner and Julianne Hough's hosting debut is going to be super fun, especially with Seacrest as her partner in crime 😎. But what I'm really stoked about is the lineup of performers - it's gonna be non-stop music from all eras! 🎢 Taylor Swift's medley from last year was epic and this year's show is promising even more... and can we talk about how amazing it'll be to see some new artists shine alongside the legends? πŸ’–
 
I remember watching this show back in the day πŸ“ΊπŸŽ‰, and I gotta say, it's still gonna be lit! I love how they're mixing old-school vibes with fresh faces like Rita Ora and Chance. It's cool that Rob Gronkowski is gonna bring some NFL flavor to the party 🏈🎊, but I'm also super excited for Julianne Hough - she's got the whole hosting thing down pat πŸ’ƒ.

I mean, can you believe they're gonna have live performances from past years? Like, Taylor Swift in Times Square? That's wild! 🀯 And Jennifer Lopez's high-flying show was insane 🎒. I'm a little worried that last year's Carrie Underwood performance set the bar too high, but I trust Ryan Seacrest to bring it all together. Bring on 2026 and get ready for an epic NYE bash πŸ”₯πŸŽ‰!
 
idk why they need that many co-hosts, like can't ryan just do his thing? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ but i guess it's cool to see some fresh faces on the show. Rita Ora and Chance the Rapper sound like an interesting combo. hope it doesn't feel too try-hard with all those big names involved... πŸ™ƒ
 
So Ryan Seacrest is hosting Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve again πŸŽ‰πŸ•°οΈ. Good luck getting everyone to party before the clock strikes midnight! I mean, who needs sleep when you're having that much fun 😴. Rita Ora and Chance the Rapper are on board - hope they bring their A-game (or should I say, their chart-topping hits 🎢). And Rob Gronkowski is teaming up with Julianne Hough? That's gonna be a touchdown...I mean, hosting debut πŸ’ͺ. Can't wait to see Taylor Swift's medley from last year again - maybe she'll even get the clock counting down right 🀣. ABC's got their work cut out for them with all these performances and whatnot. Should be a wild ride on Dec 31st...if I'm still awake 😴
