Overview
- The two-hour live broadcast from Miami, announced in May to air Dec. 31 at 10:30 p.m. on NBC and Peacock, stemmed from Snoop’s multi-year NBCUniversal deal.
- Snoop Dogg said he and NBC agreed to shelve the show so he can focus on the Winter Games, adding that a bigger celebration is planned later in 2026.
- He returns in February as a special correspondent for the Milan-Cortina Olympics, appearing with host Mike Tirico and offering on‑site features across northern Italy.
- Industry reporting says replacing the show with a new live special is highly unlikely at this stage, and NBC may rely on pre-taped programming for New Year’s Eve.
- Without NBC’s live event, the main national countdown broadcasts are expected to be ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve and CBS’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash.
