Overview
- NBC confirmed it will not proceed with "Snoop Dogg's New Year's Eve," with Snoop citing a need to focus on Winter Olympics coverage and signaling plans to celebrate later in 2026.
- The canceled two-hour broadcast was slated to air live from Miami on Dec. 31 at 10:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock with musical performances and surprise guests, produced by Den of Thieves and Death Row Pictures.
- NBC has not announced replacement programming, and trade reporting indicates launching a new live New Year's Eve show at this stage is considered virtually impossible.
- Snoop will appear as a special correspondent for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy alongside Mike Tirico, with plans for on-the-ground segments featuring athletes, families, fans and local culture.
- With NBC stepping back from a live countdown, ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve and CBS' New Year's Eve Live: Nashville's Big Bash are expected to be the primary live network broadcasts.
